The Thing will kick off their North American Tour with a stop at TV Eye, The Ballroom on February 2, and close out the tour back in New York State at Buffalo Iron Works on April 13.
The band’s upcoming tour will also be supporting Mo Lowda & The Humble and The Bright Light Social Hour.
The Thing is a four-piece band from New York City, that originated when Michael Carter, Jack Bradley, and Zane Acord bonded over a shared love for rock & roll in high school. Over the years, they honed their craft self-recording and writing songs influenced by 60s pioneers such as The Kinks, Grand Funk Railroad, and artists of the Nuggets compilation. As they progressed in skill and knowledge, the band started to envision a career inspired by the likes of Brian Jonestown Massacre, King Gizzard, and The Black Keys.
The band then started playing shows and generating a buzz around New York City in the winter of 2022. Shortly after, the band began touring up and down the East Coast. Their energetic live performances quickly earned the grassroots attention of honest music lovers.
In April 2023, the band released their debut record Here’s The Thing which was a compilation of nine songs written throughout the early years of the band. With the album out in the wild and the addition of Lucas Ebeling on the kit, The Thing is relentlessly touring, recording new music, and breaching the modern world of rock & roll as they work toward their second album The Thing Is set to be released on Feb. 2.
Also kicking off on Feb. 2, The Thing will be back on the road as their North American tour kicks off with a hometown show in Ridgewood at one of the band’s favorite venues, TV EYE, and later at Buffalo Iron Works on April 13.
The tour will kick off on Feb. 2 and tickets can be purchased here.
