Death Grips Announce 2023 North American Tour

Death Grips have waken from their post-COVID slumber, announcing their first tour after nearly four years off the road.

The hyper aggressive and experimental rap-rock hybrid act were added to a number of festival bills for 2023, including Sick New World , Primavera Sound and Outbreak Festival, but it turns out those performances won’t be one-offs.

Death Grips will begin their 2023 North American tour on May 4 in Portland, Ore. and stick around the west until May 21. After a break, they’ll reemerge in the summer, hitting the rest of the U.S. and Canada until Oct. 7.

Death Grips (formed in 2011) is an American experimental hip-hop group, also dubbed industrial and noise hip-hop. Know for their displays of spontaneous destruction and musical improvisation, the band hails from Sacramento, California, U.S.

Since the band’s formation in December 2010, Death Grips’ output has been prolific and quick to garner critical acclaim. Formed of rapper Stefan Burnett, also known by his stage name Ride, drummer Zach Hill, and producer Andy Morin, Death Grips recorded their debut song “Full Moon (Death Classic) on their first day together as a group. The song earned its release in March 2011 along with four other tracks that made up their debut EP “Full Moon”. A month later the mixtape “Exmilitary” appeared for free download and it slowly made its way across the blogosphere, generating an intense buzz for the band.

In February 2012 Death Grips singed with Epic Records at the request of marketing vice-president Angelica Cob-Baehler. The band’s label debut “The Money Store” was released in April 2012 to critical acclaim following reviews from Pitchfork Media, Drowned in Sound, and Allmusic. Aided by the singles “Blackjack”, “Get Got”, and “The Fever (Aye Aye)”, the album charted respectively on the Alternative, Heatseekers, Rap, and Rock album charts. Death Grips had intended to embark on a thirty-date international tour, however to the disappointment of their fans and label, the band headed back into the studio to work on their sophomore release.

The fruits of that recording period surfaced as “No Love Deep Web” in October 2012. Self-released on file-sharing services via links posted from their social media accounts, the band were subsequently dropped from Epic Records. Like its predecessor, the album earned strong reviews from critics and fans despite the graphic nature of the album cover, and even topped BitTorrent’s “List of Most Legally Downloaded Music” with 34,151,432 downloads. Following the release Death Grips embarked on their promised worldwide tour including shows in London, Paris, and Sydney. During this time the band also remixed two Björk tracks “Sacrifice” and “Thunderbolt” for her “Biophilia Remix Series”.

In July 2013 Death Grips launched their label Third Worlds in partnership with Harvest and Capitol Records, on which they released their fourth full-length album “Government Plates”. Led by the single “Birds”, the album was once again uploaded by the band to multiple fire-sharing sites, and earned a vinyl release for Record Store Day. The instrumental soundtrack album “Fashion Week” was released by the band in January 2015, and marked the first record since Death Grips’ disbandment in 2014. The double-disc full-length “The Powers That B” followed in March 2015, and saw the return of Ride’s vocals to the band’s mix. The record features vocal contributions from Björk and was led by the single “Inanimate Sensation”.

Live reviews

Holy shit. That was all we could say after the Death Grips concert. When I had gotten in line at Trees in Dallas, Texas and met up with some awesome 16-year olds from Oklahoma who had made the trek just to see hip hop's bleakest and most unique act, we thought we had an idea of what we'd be in for. But it still felt like a surprise when the curtains opened and MC Ride (born Stefan Burnett) came on stage with a purposeful visage. The kind of look that made you feel like he despised everyone in the room. But people started jumping, screaming and moshing, to the point where those who didn't want to fight and just wanted to enjoy the music had to collect a bit further away from the stage. I was one of those people, but I still had a great view of Ride, drummer Zach Hill and producer Flatlander. They played so many cuts from across their discography, underground hits like "get got" and "I've Seen Footage" to more obscure and obtuse tracks from Government Plates and The Powers That B, like "You Might Thinks He Loves You For Your Money" and one of my personal favorites, "Up My Sleeves". They played short versions of some tracks, and they didn't stop for a single second. There were no breaks. Every single track lead into another and MC Ride only stopped for water and to wipe the sweat off his face. Death Grips' performance of "Inanimate Sensation" was one of my favorite performances of the night. And Burnett's vocal delivery varied drastically from the record during some songs. At certain points he was straight-up cackle-talking like a demon. And in turn, I had voices coming out of me that I had never heard before, and they were all rapping along with him. The energy of the crowd was unyielding, but even it couldn't compare to the energy of Death Grips themselves. The fact that they could nearly an hour of songs without a break is a feat. Although it's to be expected from Zach Hill, who has broken his testicles twice during performances. After the concert was over, Death Grips left without a single word. And everyone immediately headed to the bar and the bathroom to get some goddamn water and wonder whether that had really just happened. Once I left Trees with my new friends, we went to the parking lot and gushed about the life-changing experience we had just had in there. There were people in the parking lot smoking cigarettes like they had just had sex. All in all, Death Grips at Trees was a sacrilegious experience. Some on Twitter called one of their shows "the Devil's rave", and that's even more true than I thought it was going to be. I urge you, if you're a fan of Death Grips, see one of their shows if they are coming to your area. It will be one of the most memorable experiences of your life.

Report as inappropriate

“I’ve got the powers that B, running through me!” A shirtless MC Ride was marking his territory on the large, spacious stage in front of a violently enthusiastic audience. Zach Hill, also shirtless, was doing his best Animal impression behind the drum kit. Andy Morin (aka Flatlander) was stoically standing behind his station, while his fingers were hard at work decimating thousands of eardrums with the deafening sounds of Fashion Week. “My favorite color is OH MY GOD BITCH!” Ride, seemingly not giving a shit that OH MY GOD BITCH isn’t a color, and that he was bellowing this nonsensical declaration over what was supposed to be an instrumental track, created microbursts within the crowd. Small pits would form and disperse as waves of bodies broke along the railing. The performance had just begun and Ride had already commanded control of the chaos.

Death Grips are a band (sorry, I mean a ‘conceptual art exhibition anchored by sound and vison’) that is notorious for showing a complete lack of professionalism when it comes to meeting obligations. The fact that they were on stage at the Ogden Theatre was a wonder in itself, but to see Ride, Hill and Flatlander performing in full 3D was the equivalent of witnessing villains climbing out of an old comic book and then proceeding to pillage your hometown. Death Grips are only three men, but they came equipped with the noise of legions. And although they don’t like to fuck with the physical world all that much, they were completely successful in dragging the depths of the Deep Web to the surface last night. I can’t claim to understand who or what Death Grips are. I just know I have a not-so-healthy relationship with their music. It just hurts so good. They were only a minute and a half into their hour and a half set and they were already dishing out enough pain and humiliation to make any masochist happy.

Absolutely nuts. Death Grips were fantastic, playing for an hour straight, moving from one song to the next without any pause. The atmosphere was electric and infectious from the first song to last. They came out with laser lights attached to their fingers and heads that created a fantastic unique light show as they played, making the lights very literally match the beats and energy of each song and each members movements. The crowd was amazingly wild and the pit was brutal in all the best ways. Everyone was extremely respectful and followed moshing etiquette to the letter despite the pit being the most insane thing I've ever seen at a concert. The concert was a once in a lifetime experience and something I will never forget. There is nothing quite like seeing Death Grips live while going absolutely nuts in the pit with a hundred other people losing themselves in the music as well, sweating, bumping, pushing, moshing, and flailing against each other, feeding on the energy and atmosphere of the music and their peers. The entire venue wasn't one giant mosh pit as there were 3 distinct sections, one specifically being dedicated to the pit so if you aren't the type of person looking for such a violent or insane experience, there will always still be a place at the concert for you to just watch, dance, sway to the music, take in the visuals and experience, and do your own thing. You may still be brushing up against people but that's always to be expected with any general admission concert and honestly I think that aspect helps create community and adds a lot to the experience. Overall, this is the greatest cocnert experience I have had and I will 100% be seeing them again if they ever come anywhere near my town again. No exceptions. 10/10

It’s all very well going along to see a band and not knowing what to expect, but one should at least feel pretty strong in your conviction that the band are going to show up. It hasn’t always been the case with Sacramento’s formidable experimental rap outfit Death Grips, but the times they have graced the stage (which is, to be fair to them, far more often than not), have been such visceral experiences that folks seems willing to turn a blind eye the odd no-show. Poor date keeping seems pretty fitting with their unashamedly confrontational manner of going about being in a “band” (in the loosest sense of the term) anyway, what with their live shows being some of the most unhinged displays of maniacal rapping from MC Ride and drumming from Hella’s inimitable Zach Hill one could ever sensibly wish for. Battered snare drums often end up splattered with Hill’s blood when not thrown across the stage in a destructive huff, and avoiding eye contact with MC Ride is advice you should take great care in noting down, but for unadulterated and not a little dangerous levels of perverse musical enjoyment, there’s really not much beating Death Grips.

Sacramento hip hop trio Death Grips have created a live show that is considered something of a ritual as opposed to a simple gig. They are known for their incredibly experimental attitude towards live conventions and every tours sees them attempt to reinvent themselves or work in something new when performing. Therefore the audience gathered tonight really does not have any idea as to what they are about to witness. For some this is incredibly exciting yet others feel slightly uneasy as the dim lights illuminate the stage and the three figures stand ominously casting large shadows.

The awkward silence is broken by huge, piercing drums as the half naked musicians appear to spring into life and throw themselves to opener 'Lost Boys'. They run through a setlist comprising exclusively of the first three albums at blistering speeds. Each member is completely transfixed in a frantic musical zone as they screech, rap and chant over the chaotic instrumentals. By the finale of 'Lock Your Doors' every musician is drenched in sweat and the applause received seems very much earned.

The show started off very intense as we all stood there for just under 2 hours with this rising synthetic tone similar to 'Inanimate Sensation'. Then Death Grips show up on stage Andy Morin waved to us, then the show started as soon as Zach, Andy and Stefan took ahold of their instruments and it was literally 2 hours non stop 25 tracks no breaks no talking to the crowd no intro just 25 cutthroat bangers from Death Grips I also felt the fans were very respectable and were good hearted people especially since I was nervous at first as I was at the show alone. But I soon got comfortable as everyone was there for the same reason and we were all there enjoying the music. They performed few tracks from all of their projects including the Death Grips EP. The show was insane and there was no outro some flashy lights that went to black and Stefan and Zach was gone when the lights came back up and Andy gave us a little wave and that was it no encore no interaction (Apart from the little waves and nods) just non stop bangers and abrasive music. Was lit.

The worst, and really annoying thing about this gig was the incompetence of the venue staff. Having just *one* person searching every gig-goer at a time meant that almost all of us were queueing for hours. When I got into the venue, for example, having stood in line for two hours, Death Grips had already started their set! That was extremely annoying, and the venue need to sort out a better arrangement. All of us had paid (quite a lot) to attend the *whole* gig, not just the bits that were left of it after we'd finished queuing.

When I did get in, though, the gig was pretty good. Death Grips ran through material from all their albums (or at least the four I know), and did so without a break! Highlights (for me, anyway) were 'I've seen Footage', 'Up my Sleeves', and 'Giving Bad People Good Ideas', the opener from the new album 'Bottomless Pit'. MC Ride was fantastically animated throughout, and I'd definitely go and see them again (but not at this venue!).

Noided, in terms of whether I'll ever have sensitive hearing ever again or if what I'm perceiving to hear is what I'm actually hearing.

They had no support act, which I'm not sure is a usual trope of their live shows. Prior to Stefan, Zach and Andy's arrival onstage, there was a bass-heavy drone that is very difficult to describe without actually experiencing it. That really built up the suspense and anticipation for their set, which was just non-stop one song after another performed with a very infectious energy that was spread into the crowd. The weird thing about them having no breaks or hesitations between tracks was that their set felt both very long and very short simultaneously; once it had finished I felt that I needed closure, without realising they had performed for an hour and thirty minutes haha. A great time nontheless, but wear earplugs (y)

There was a point at which I genuinely thought, "Oh shit, I've gone deaf." Parts of "Steroids" and "Giving Bad People Good Ideas" were so insanely loud it felt like I was underwater; the sound had taken on a physical quality I had never experienced (and I've seen these guys before). It was an hour of relentless brutality. There's nothing quite like a Death Grips show. My ears are still shot, but the first thing I did when I woke up this morning and started my commute was pop on "Steroids." Love this band so much, and their live shows reinforce that love. Stay noided!

This was the best show I have ever attended. The Fillmore was a cool venue. I was at the very front of the crowd and I wilded out for the entirety of the show. At one point, I lost my balance and threw my arm around a guy to catch myself, and before I could do anything he put his arm around me and we stayed like that for the rest of the song. I highly recommend everyone see Death Grips in order to have a life changing experience. I also recommend wearing high fidelity earplugs when you go! They reduce the sound to safe levels without changing the quality of the music.

Death Grips Will Be Going On Tour In 2023 For The First Time In Four Years

When Death Grips last toured in 2019, they were on the heels of their mysterious , abrasive, and compelling last album, Year Of The Snitch . The Sacramento-forged trio of Zach Hill, MC Ride , and Andy Morin blazed a trail for horrorcore-minded experimental rappers who could never quite replicate the visceral nature of Death Grips’ music. Now they’ve announced a new tour of North America for 2023, but no word yet on if this means a new album is on deck.

The tour begins on May 4th, 2023 in Portland and the band will be touring furiously through the Western US (with a Canadian date) that month, before starting an East Coast swing in September and October.

Death Grips

Closed September 23, 2023

Ultimately, for all the different genres it consumes and spits back, it sounds like no other band on earth.

Rolling Stone

Why See Death Grips?

Rap & Hip Hop Concerts

Death Grips Cause A Frenzy Wherever They Roam

Join Death Grips for their first live show since 2019! Known for their visceral, high-octane performances, Death Grips have broken the hip-hop mould and sewn it back together haphazardly with a riotous punk mentality. Combining and experimenting with rap, industrial and electronic punk, the raucous trio has pushed the genre boundaries even further in recent years. 

Expect to hear tracks from their 2018 album 'Year of the Snitch', and their recently released EP (2019) 'Gmail and the Restraining Orders'. 

Formed in 2010, these noisy innovators blast out of their home city of Sacramento and took the underground scene by storm with their introductory mixtape Exmilitary. Their music has been described in the press as aggressive, loud and confrontational (alongside words like powerful and genius), so its no wonder their shows feature sweaty, undulating crowds and fearsome mosh pits. Wear comfortable shoes and stay hydrated!

'Les Miserables' star to sing national anthem at Phillies game ahead of show's anticipated return

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- It's been hailed as the world's most popular musical -- the critically acclaimed Broadway show "Les Miserables" returns to Philadelphia this summer.

The show kicks off Philadelphia's new Broadway season in August, and Ensemble Arts Philly says every time the tour comes to town, it sells out.

On Wednesday night, one of the show's stars will also kick off the Phillies game.

"I think that not only is it the story, it's the characters, it's this music," says Nick Cartell, who plays Jean Valjean. "I mean, 'On My Own,' 'I Dreamed a Dream,' 'One Day More,' it's packed with hits and classics."

It marks Cartell's third time on tour in Philadelphia.

"I am so thrilled to be able to bring this show back to the audiences there," Cartell says. "First off, the Academy of Music is one of the most beautiful theaters across the country. It truly is absolutely stunning. For us to bring such an epic show into such an epic space, elevates it, I feel. And then, just to have the audiences who love the show, who love hearing the music, and who love seeing this story play out every night, is the cherry on top."

Cartell has played Jean Valjean for the past five and a half years.

"I have over 1,200 performances as Jean Valjean," he gushes. "There are still things that I discover every single night on that stage. I think that is what keeps it fresh for me."

Ahead of the tour's anticipated return, Cartell will sing the National Anthem for the Fightin's.

"I am so excited to get to sing the national anthem and to do it for the Phillies," he says. "It's like a dream come true."

Cartell will sing just before the first pitch at 7:05 p.m. with former "Bachelorette" finalist, Zac Clark, who is on deck to throw out the first pitch .

"Les Miserables" is at the Academy of Music from August 27 through September 8.

Stan Van Gundy remembers late wife, reveals cause of death

• Field Level Media

Stan Van Gundy's wife of 35 years died Aug. 16, at which time her cause of death was said to be "unexpected."

On Friday, with months to reflect on Kim Van Gundy's passing, the former NBA coach and current television analyst revealed more about the circumstances of her death.

Van Gundy told longtime friend and sports talk host Dan Le Batard, on the latter's "South Beach Sessions" podcast, that Kim, 61, died by suicide.

"She took her own life, Dan," Van Gundy said. "I can't imagine that I'll ever get over that. ... It was devastating."

Van Gundy discussed at length the woman he began a relationship with when he was 24 and the life they had built in more than three decades of marriage.

"My entire adult life, I trace everything -- job changes, kids, everything -- I was with her, and she was by my side. I never, ever envisioned that I was going to live any day in my life without Kim," said Van Gundy, who added his wife had been diagnosed with a mental illness.

"I knew she was going through a tough time, but I still never envisioned that happening. Even now, it's been eight months, and I struggle to come to grips with the fact that I'm never going to see her again. I'm trying hard to stay connected. ... My house is full of pictures of Kim. There's a montage of pictures above my bed that my kids did for me of Kim. I'm trying hard to remember her voice, to remember her smile, all of those things. But more than anything, live her values, because her values were better than mine.

"She taught me a lot. And I want to live her values and a life that she would be proud of. And my kids at times over the last eight months, at times, not often, but I think genuinely from their point, I'll do something and they'll say, 'Mom would have really been proud of you for that one.' And that above anything else really makes me feel good, because my wife was an incredible person, and the loss is huge."

Kim Van Gundy met her future husband in 1984, soon after he was hired as the head basketball coach at Castleton State College in her native Vermont. She was a student at the time.

She followed him from one basketball city to another, initially in college towns, until he landed his first NBA job as an assistant coach with the Miami Heat in 1995. He was promoted to head coach in 2003 and served two-plus seasons before landing as head coach in Orlando , Detroit and New Orleans .

Van Gundy, 64, currently works for TNT and is part of the broadcast team for the Western Conference finals.

He said on the podcast that he is in therapy but that life is different without Kim. Their four kids are helping to hold him together, but it's hard.

"I just don't think I'll ever get over it," Van Gundy said.

Philadelphia phillies | latest updates: trump calls for unity after assassination attempt; new details on shooter; man killed at rally identified, subscriber only, philadelphia phillies | ironpigs: tyler gilbert got a grip, in a rhythm in new role.

It was the pitching staff’s most-recent way to connect with the position players during games.

Every time a Lehigh Valley player hits a home run, a member of the bullpen located beyond the left-field wall whacks the mallet against the gong a few times.

It was an immediate hit.

Weston Wilson led off the first inning in that July 2 game with a home run. Though the gong is tough to hear over the thousands of cheering fans at Coca-Cola Park, the gong was solidified as another way to strengthen the team’s unity during a lengthy season full of highs and lows.

Gilbert knows all about the peaks and valleys of a professional baseball season. He returned in May for his second tour in the Phillies organization after stints with the Diamondbacks and Reds.

The 30-year-old left hander arrived after a dreadful start to the 2024 season with Triple-A Louisville in the Cincinnati system. He had a 13.11 ERA and 2.57 WHIP in seven games with the Bats.

Gilbert was ‘gonged’ from the Reds organization much like contestants on “The Gong Show,” a TV game show hosted by Chuck Barris that first aired in the late 1970s and developed a cult following in syndication.

The California native resurrected his career, however, with a stellar run for Lehigh Valley. He has not allowed an earned run in his last 12 appearances entering Saturday’s home game against Buffalo.

Gilbert has hit the gong more often than foes have hit him in recent weeks.

“I’ve made little minor adjustments on grips, including the cutter, and a couple other little things have helped,” he said. “But it’s really just being as aggressive as I can be, pounding the zone and pitching to contact.”

Gilbert has allowed only two walks and one extra-base hit in his last 12 outings. He’s thrown 69% strikes with 20 strikeouts in 13 1/3 innings.

The 6-foot-3, 223-pounder’s success was not immediate after coming back to Lehigh Valley, where he spent parts of the 2018-19 seasons.

The Phillies’ sixth-round pick out of USC in 2015 allowed five earned runs on 10 hits in his first four appearances in May totaling six innings.

He was in a similar role with manager Anthony Contreras’ club as with Louisville — multiple innings in lower stress situations.

Gilbert’s role didn’t change in the next five outings, but his success rate did. He posted a 1.13 ERA in eight total innings.

“He’s a perfect example of a guy who is a very good strike thrower and uses that to his advantage,” Contreras said. “He’s got upshoot on his fastball. On the gun, you see 90 to 92, sometimes 93. But the way he throws it, the way it comes out. He can dot it, put it where he wants to so it plays up.

“He’s an outlier in this day and age of baseball when it’s all about stuff. How hard can you throw it? How big is your sweeper? But when you get a guy who can pinpoint location, it’s very refreshing to see.”

Starting with his June 12 appearance at Syracuse, Gilbert has only pitched the seventh inning or later. He’s responded to the opportunity to pitch in high-leverage situations by filling up the scoresheet with zeroes. The California native has yielded an opponents’ .118 slugging percentage in the last month.

“I’m really loving the role,” Gilbert said. “Late innings, high leverage spots, under pressure. I don’t think I’ve ever had this kind of role before. I’ve always been either a starter or long relief guy. I’m just taking these opportunities and running with them.

“You have to lock in right away. I’m feeling so comfortable with it.”

Gilbert’s confidence has elevated with each quality appearance. It started with a seven-pitch (seven-strike) outing at Syracuse with two strikeouts. He’s picked up two wins and three saves in this stretch that most recently included a nine-pitch, 1-2-3 ninth inning in Tuesday’s game against Buffalo.

“I’m trying to prepare myself to be hot every day,” Gilbert said. “I’ve found a really good routine in the weight room, too. I’m feeling really good with everything.

“I’m just attacking guys, not shying away from getting hit. A little bit of a mentality I’ve developed since I got over here.”

Gilbert, who is among a small handful in major league history to throw a no-hitter in his first career start, came to Lehigh Valley with an open mind. He had not been coached by IronPigs pitching coaches Ryan Buchter and Tyler Higgins or Contreras, though he was teammates in 2019 with Buchter in Arizona.

But Gilbert was willing to listen to whatever that trio offered.

“Sometimes just having a new set of eyes on you, new scenery, can help a lot of things,” Gilbert said. “I like what I’m learning from this coaching staff. It took a few outings for me to settle in, address a few things they were seeing.”
