Mastodon Play Secret Atlanta Warmup With Baroness’ John Baizley, Who Is Joining Them On Tour
Mastodon doing secret warmup gigs under a silly pseudonym is exactly the kind of thing that reminds you why these Atlanta metalheads still matter decades in. No stadium theatrics, just the band testing out new material in their own backyard. Having John Baizley along for the ride adds another layer of intrigue; that's the sort of collaboration you stumble upon rather than read about on a press release. It's the antithesis of the usual metal touring treadmill, and honestly, if you're anywhere near Atlanta when these lads decide to do it again, you'd be daft to miss it.
From Stereogum: In 2024, Mastodon played an intimate hometown warmup for their tour under the name Big Hairy Elephant. Last night, they did it again, this time at Atlanta's the Earl with Baroness' John Baizley.
