Lightning Bolt Gear Up for Summer 2010 Tour – Playing Eyedrum on July 4!

Experimental noise rock duo, Lightning Bolt, have recently announced a 20+ date summer tour including shows in Atlanta, Washington D.C. and Chicago for the Pitchfork Music Festival.

Brian Chippendale (drums, vocals) and Brian Gibson (bass guitar) met and formed in 1994 while they were both attending the Rhode Island School of Design. After years of performing the band decided to write and record their full-length debut, which was released in 1997 on Load Records.

Lightning Bolt has since released five full-lengths, several 7-inches and have been featured on a number of compilations. The duo are best known for their “guerrilla gig” live shows, performing on the floor instead of the stage while fans form a tight circle around the two musicians.

  1. Thank you for your post. We have family in Atlanta and get there several times a year and we are always looking for something different to do. Lightning Bolt sounds just like something we would enjoy a lot more than going to see the traditional fireworks held July 4th!
