San Antonio Tex-Mex punk kings Piñata Protest are hitting the road as part of a package tour headlined by Spanish-language death metal band Brujeria. DC grindcore group No/Más will round out the bill.
The tour is promoting Brujeria’s new album Esto Es Brujeria, which drops Sept. 15 via Nuclear Blast. Formed in 1989 in Los Angeles, the long-running act maintains a schtick that its membership consists of south-of-the-border drug lords wanted by the FBI. (In reality, it’s a badly kept secret that Brujeria’s real lineup includes members of well-known bands such as Fear Factory, Napalm Death and Cradle of Filth.)
The tour seems like another profile booster for the accordion-driven Piñata Protest — and one that’s stylistically a good fit. But here’s bad news for hometown fans: even though the trek includes five Texas stops, none are scheduled in San Antonio.
In event anyone feels like road tripping, here are the other Lone Star State dates:
Monday, Nov. 6 — Dallas at the Granada Theater
Tuesday, Nov. 7 — Lubbock at Jake’s Sports Cafe
Thursday, Nov. 9 — Austin at Come And Take It Live
Friday, Nov. 10 — Houston at Houston Vert Ramp
Saturday, Nov. 11 — Brownsville at Outdoors at The Kraken Lounge
The tour kicks off Thursday, Nov. 2, in Yuma, Arizona, and concludes Sunday, Dec. 10, in Pomona, California.
