Back in 2015 when Qujaku (still under their old name, The Piqnic) played a totally out-of-the-blue show in Budapest during their first, short European tour, I went to check them out without knowing much about them and I was blown away: their insanely heavy and trippy psychedelic rock was so incredible live, that it easily won the “best concert of 2015” prize in my book. I was telling everyone that they have the potential to become the next Boris or Mono and they might get one step closer to that with their upcoming EU tour, which will be by far their longest to date. Most of the 23 shows will be UK dates, but they will also play in Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and the Czech Republic. And that’s not all, as they will also release a 10″ EP the same day the tour starts, on the 16th of April, called H with two new, long tracks. And one of those, gyakushi was already posted in soundcloud and it is noisier than any of their previous material. Check that out below, along with the tour dates and a few photos and a video from their gig in 2015!
