New Orleans instrumental riff alchemists, MOUNTAIN OF WIZARD – who feature within their ranks members of EyeHateGod, Classhole and Mystick Krewe Of Clearlight – will kick off a short run of live rituals supporting Down this week! Set to commence in Louisville, Kentucky on Thursday, MOUNTAIN OF WIZARD will head east levying their smoky, groove-laden, bottom-heavy jams upon the ears of ten cities with additional shows to be announced soon.
Formed in 2008, MOUNTAIN OF WIZARD worships at the altar of the riff boasting a thick, raging, blues-ridden Bayou swagger seemingly inherent to their swampy surroundings. The band independently released a two-song seven inch last year and will be peddling their recently issued Casting Rhythms And Disturbances CD at the upcoming shows. The record is a collection of material old and new with original bassist, Bennett Bartley, as well as our current bassist, Isidore Grisoli.
