Ride

Sep 08, 2015 By Christopher Roberts The Besnard Lakes

British shoegazing icons Ride recently reformed and have already played some U.S. dates (including Coachella). Previously they announced some September and October American dates. Now they’ve announced that DIIV and The Besnard Lakes will support them on some of their dates. DIIV are gearing up to release their sophomore album, Is the Is Are (the exact release date is still TBA). The Besnard Lakes’ last album was 2013’s excellent and criminally under-heard Until in Excess, Imperceptible UFO.

Ride’s original run lasted from 1988 to 1996 and included four studio albums (Nowhere, Going Blank Again, Carnival of Light, and Tarantula, which was released just after the band split up).

Below are Ride’s tour dates, followed by the video for Nowhere single “Vapour Trail.” Also, a couple of years ago we interviewed Ride’s Mark Gardener and Andy Bell about Nowhere and you can read that article here.

Below that are DIIV’s solo tour dates, followed by the videos for The Besnard Lakes’ “People of the Sticks” and DIIV’s “Doused.”
