This May, progressive rockers Spock’s Beard – who recently announced the release of their brand new studio album, Brief Nocturnes And Dreamless Sleep – will embark on a European tour with support from Beardfish and Sound of Contact. Spock’s Beard had this to say about the tour package:
“We are really looking forward to coming back to Europe and playing our new music. The combination of Spock’s Beard, Sound Of Contact and Beardfish promises to be really strong and entertaining for our fans.”
Spocks’s Beard‘s new studio album, Brief Nocturnes And Dreamless Sleep, marks the recording debut of longtime live drummer, Jimmy Keegan, and vocalist/guitarist Ted Leonard [Enchant, Thought Chamber]. It also sees the return of one familiar name to the songwriting credits, that of Neal Morse, who has co-written two tracks after having left the band way back in 2002.
