Cluster Plot First U.S. Tour in Ages
Legendary krautrock duo Cluster will return to the U.S. for a round of shows this month. The excursion marks the first time Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius have played most of these cities together in quite some time.
Cluster's U.S. dates find them paired with a whole bunch of different guests at various stops, including Ariel Pink, Wooden Shjips, White Rainbow, Tussle, Howlin Rain, and Arp. The band's Baltimore show goes one step further: It's a freaking festival in their honor! The previously reported Full House Fest boasts a bill that includes Cluster themselves ("at sunset"), Lungfish's Daniel Higgs, Black Dice's Eric Copeland, Keith Fullerton Whitman, and Tickley Feather, among others.
Cluster also have European dates before and after their U.S. tour, while Harmonia-- aka Cluster plus Neu!'s Michael Rother-- play a couple of their own shows, including the imminent ATP vs. Pitchfork event. And hey, Roedelius has a few solo gigs too. Find all that below.
