Ruby The Hatchet announce summer European tour dates

Philadelphia's premiere psych rock band RUBY THE HATCHET have just announced their first European tour following the release of their latest, critically acclaimed album, Planetary Space Child.

The tour will kick off in the UK as they support San Diego psychedelic rock trio Earthless, and will include shows with melancholic doom outfit Pallbearer on the mainland. See below for full dates.

The band comments: "Our European fans have come out in a huge way supporting Planetary Space Child and we cannot wait to bring this energetic and prog-tinged live trip their way! It will be our first time in many of these places and a very happy return to Germany and the Netherlands. The band thrives off of the crowd’s enthusiasm and Europe does it right.

Recorded in an 1800's era estate deep in the Pennsylvania woods with engineers Joe Boldizar (Retro City Studios), Zach Goldstein (Kawari Sound), and the band’s own Sean Hur, Planetary Space Child reflects the unique process of its creation. The product of several weeks of self-imposed isolation, the record showcases seven richly layered songs that unite heavy, doomy psychedelia with acid-rock, proto-prog and melodic, hypnotic songcraft complete with looming organ flourishes and rolling vocal harmonies that imbue an infectious aura.
