The Black Queen Announce New Round of Fever Daydream 10th Anniversary Shows
Following the success of the first leg of The Black Queen’s Fever Daydream 10th anniversary tour, the band has announced a second wave of North American dates. Founding members Greg Puciato and Steven Ryan Alexander are joined by guitarist Danny Lohner and drummer Chris Pennie for the newly announced dates.
“For a lot of this band’s life, it has existed, for us, mainly as an abstract feeling or place, a dimension in our hearts and imaginations,” the band shared. “In the live realm? For only four of the 15 years of its existence. So, when we announced the first tour back, after seven years of not playing, we were excited, but we couldn’t predict the reaction. We couldn’t even predict how we’d ourselves feel once we got going. We also didn’t know at the time that we’d be joined by Danny Lohner and Chris Pennie. Once we got this new chapter up and running, and all the pieces and personnel on and offstage snowballed their way into place, and we saw and heard you again in person, this whole thing became filled with new life, with new ideas, with new musical dynamics and interpretations. Now, suddenly, this is the most excited we’ve ever been for this band, and Fever Daydream, which has always been special to us, feels as new and real and tangible to us as it did when we were first building it over a decade ago. What started as a ‘looking back’ celebration of an album, has suddenly become a real time celebration of a new chapter of possibilities and memories for us personally and creatively. We want to stay in this moment just a bit longer before we move on to LP3. So, here’s our second, and final for this chapter, North American leg. See you soon.”
The shows, which launch Sept. 9 at Pappy & Harriet’s in Pioneertown, Calif., will feature the 10-song album played in its entirety, as well as tracks from their sophomore album, Infinite Games. Tickets are on sale now, and available via TheBlackQueen.com.
A tenth anniversary edition of the album is also available as a tour-only variant.

Released in January of 2016, The Black Queen announced Fever Daydream’s release via Rolling Stone, who noted “echoes of Depeche Mode, Aphex Twin, and Massive Attack, as well as strong R&B strands,” SPIN dubbed it “a brutalist Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis,” and New Noise said “Fever Daydream is an incredibly diverse listen, where melodies and moods may carry over throughout the album but each song is its own distinct animal.” The album birthed a trio of singles including “Ice To Never,” “Secret Scream,” and “Maybe We Should.”
