Khruangbin hit the court at Westville Music Bowl on Saturday for a show with Men I Trust. The New Haven, CT concert marked the final headlining date on the U.S. summer leg of the trio’s ongoing Space Walk Tour.
Westville Music Bowl also signaled the end of a weekend run of Northeast shows for Mark Speer (guitar), Laura Lee (bass, vocals), and Donald “DJ” Johnson (drums) that began on Thursday in Brooklyn and continued on Saturday at Thompson’s Point in Portland, ME. At the Thursday show, Khruangbin welcomed opening act Vieux Farka Touré for a sit-in on “Mahine Me”. The Ali Farka Touré (Vieux Farka’s late father) cover is set to appear on the Malian singer/guitarist’s collaborative album with Khruangbin, Ali, out on September 23rd via Dead Oceans.
Following the Westville performance, Khruangbin will take a few weeks off before a set at Beach Road Weekend in Vineyard Haven, MA on August 26th. From there the band has a run of festival dates at the debuts of Sacred Rose, The Big Climate Thing, and Primavera Sound L.A. The trio will also travel abroad in early September for stops at the U.K.’s End of the Road Festival and Ireland’s Electric Picnic Festival.
