Enola Gay's Upcoming March US Dates Absolutely Need To Be On Your Radar
There are a few different levels for a writer such as myself to appreciate Enola Gay on. The first of which is that their name, shared with the first aircraft to ever drop an atomic bomb in warfare, makes it incredibly easy for lazy writers like me to reach for the lowest hanging fruit with headlines like "Enola Gay drops a bomb of hard rock on insert venue name" or "their music sounds like a musical nuclear explosion in your ears" type phrases.
The other (much better) level I can appreciate them on is that their sound and live performance absolutely back those comparisons up. I was lucky enough to catch them opening a late night show for Viagra Boys last summer and they were the ultimate table setter to get an 11:00 PM crowd already coming off a full day of music festival in the sun to snap up to attention and throw their bodies into each other with reckless abandon.
If that sounds like an experience you and your limbs would enjoy getting bruised during, I've got some good news for you. Enola Gay is returning to the US for a limited run of dates starting next month!
As someone that was able to experience their raw energy live, I would not miss an opportunity to see them do their thing in person, especially not knowing how often they're going to make their way stateside.
