The Aristocrats Announce North American “Defrost” 2022 Summer Tour

The ten-week, 50-show run will mark their first live performances since the FREEZE! Live In Europe 2020

the aristocrats the defrost tour

The Aristocrats, (guitarist Guthrie Govan, bassist Bryan Beller and drummer Marco Minnemann) will make their long-awaited return to the stages of North America this summer, for the DEFROST tour. The ten-week, 50-show run will mark their first live performances since the FREEZE! Live In Europe 2020 album was captured, more than two years ago. Audiences starved for some trademark Aristocratic musical mayhem will be treated to a debut of select new material not yet released on any album, as well as a carefully curated collection of fan favorites and deep cuts.

The ultra-power-trio issued a joint statement to mark the occasion: “We’re beyond thrilled to get back out there and do what we do best – playing together, live and loud, in the same room – for our amazing fans who’ve been so generous with their support of what we do as a band. Even though modern technology is great, we wanted to wait until we were physically together before playing any new material, because that’s just how we do it. That’s finally going to happen right before we head out on the road, so it will be really fresh and exciting. We can’t wait!”

In addition to The Aristocrats’ return to the live stage, the band will soon share news of a collaboration project one year in the making, which is slated for release in the spring. More details will follow on this project soon.

Over the past ten years The Aristocrats have released critically acclaimed albums, toured the world, and established themselves as one of the most musically original, refreshingly irreverent, and astoundingly entertaining instrumental rock-fusion acts on the planet. Anyone who’s witnessed their live musical high-wire act – employing random amounts of rock, jazz, pop, metal, and even traditional country – can attest that it is informed by the spirit of a true band, one whose improvisational soul allows for anything to happen onstage at any moment…including the occasional wink and nod at the audience.

The Aristocrats Announce “Defrost” North American Tour

Kevin Johnson

The Aristocrats have just announced the “Defrost” summer tour, which will take the instrumental trio across all of North America with 50 performances. The band – consisting of Guthrie Govan, Bryan Beller , and Marco Minnemann – will be on the road for 10 weeks across the U.S and Canada.

“We’re beyond thrilled to get back out there and do what we do best – playing together, live and loud, in the same room – for our amazing fans who’ve been so generous with their support of what we do as a band,” the group states. “Even though modern technology is great, we wanted to wait until we were physically together before playing any new material because that’s just how we do it. That’s finally going to happen right before we head out on the road, so it will be really fresh and exciting. We can’t wait!”

The Aristocrats are also teasing a collaboration that’s been a year in the making. That project, slated for the spring, will have more details revealed soon. Their latest album Live in Europe 2020 was released last year.

Aristocrats

Instrumental prog supergroup  The Aristocrats  have announced their first UK and Ireland live shows since 2020. The band will perform a run of seven shows, that includes their biggest London show to date at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire.

The trio, who released The Aristocrats With Primuz Chamber Orchestra  earlier this year, will also  be playing a selection of new as yet unreleased material, in addition to highlights and fan favourites.

It’s been far too long since our last shows in the U.K. and Europe, some of which were documented in our live album  FREEZE! Live In Europe 2020  just before the big chill on live shows," the band say. "So now it’s time for the Defrost tour to bring us back, and we can’t wait to finally play shows again for our fans who have been waiting patiently for Aristocrats concerts to return!”

The Aristocrats Defrost UK and Ireland tour dates: Jun 12: Glasgow The Garage Jun 13: Newcastle NUSU Jun 14: Coventry HMV Empire Jun 15: Bristol The Fleece Jun 16: London O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire Jun 17: Manchester Academy 2 Jun 18: Dublin Opium

THE ARISTOCRATS ANNOUNCE ‘THE DEFROST’ UK

& IRELAND TOUR FOR JUNE 2023

TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW

Instrumental trio The Aristocrats are to return to the UK and Ireland in June 2023 for a 7-date run of shows, including their biggest London show to date at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire. Not only will Guthrie Govan ( Hans Zimmer, Asia, Steven Wilson ), Bryan Beller ( Joe Satriani, Dethklok, Steve Vai ), and Marco Minneman ( Plini, Joe Satriani, Steven Wilson ) be playing their first UK and Irish shows in a number years, they will also be playing a selection of new as yet unreleased material, in addition to highlights and fan favourites.

In a joint statement about the tour, the band said,  “It’s been far too long since our last shows in the U.K. and Europe, some of which were documented in our live album  FREEZE! Live In Europe 2020  just before the big chill on live shows. So now it’s time for the  DEFROST  tour to bring us back, and we can’t wait to finally play shows again for our fans who have been waiting patiently for Aristocrats concerts to return!”

A collaborative affair from the 3 most sought after session musicians in rock; in the 10+ years The Aristocrats have been together, they have become a bastion of musicianship and the bottom line in technical mastery of their respective instruments. The trio have been releasing critically acclaimed albums, touring the world, and establishing themselves as one of the most musically original, refreshingly irreverent, and astoundingly entertaining instrumental rock-fusion acts on the planet.

A fusion of rock, jazz, metal, and any other genre that takes their fancy, the band have progressed from being musician’s musicians, to outright legends in the rock community. Anyone who’s witnessed their live musical high-wire act can attest that it is informed by the spirit of a true band, one whose improvisational soul allows for anything to happen onstage at any moment… including the occasional Frank-Zappa-influenced wink and nod at the audience.

Guthrie Govan, host of countless masterclasses and a frequent contributor to guitar magazines in the UK, has been known for over 30 years as the most proficient guitarist alive. Capable of turning his hand to any style of music set before him, he has most recently been on the road with Hans Zimmer, who personally sought Guthrie for his live band.

Bassist Bryan Beller is a familiar face for any instrumental rock fan – a veteran of nearly 30 years, he has been in demand to take the stage with legendary artists such as Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Dweezil Zappa, whilst his studio work has seen him appear on albums with Satch, and frequently collaborate with Brendon Small’s Dethklok and Galaktikon.

Rounding out the  Tres Caballeros  is drummer Marco Minneman, whose technical mastery and innovative style has seen him play with the most extreme of death metal bands such as Necrophagist, to melodic masters Plini and Steven Wilson. As an educator, Marco has released 2 books about drumming, as well as being honoured by Modern Drummer magazine for being  ‘instrumental’  in helping develop complex drumming techniques.

The Aristocrats on Returning to Tour India, New Material and Being Back on the Road

The virtuosic rock trio’s bassist Bryan Beller speaks about having a “renewed appreciation” for performing after the pandemic caused shutdowns around the world

' src=

From clapping in odd-time signatures to raising a cheer for nearly every instrumental song – even when it’s not introduced – Indian audiences love The Aristocrats . Comprising British guitarist Guthrie Govan , American bassist Bryan Beller and German drummer Marco Minnemann , the trio fit the definition of funky, groovy and sometimes showoff-y rock and they’re bringing it back to India starting February 17th at the inaugural edition of Oddball Festival in Mumbai.

While Govan and Minnemann have traveled to India since The Aristocrats’ debut India tour in 2016 with their solo shows, the band’s current run of shows – as part of The Defrost Tour – sees them perform in New Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Guwahati and Kolkata. Not only does the tour come after quite a few years (the gap further widened by the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic), but also after The Aristocrats have put out three albums since 2015’s Tres Caballeros . The setlist for the India shows will likely include material from 2019’s You Know What…? and new material that the band have been testing out on the road.

Ahead of the shows, Beller spoke with Rolling Stone India over email about the tour so far, how the pandemic-enforced lull affected them and their album with the Primuz Chamber Orchestra which came out in 2022. Excerpts:

How have the first few shows of the Defrost tour in Asia gone so far? You played in Osaka after quite a few years.

Bryan Beller: It’s going great. We feel stronger and more locked than ever, and we’re definitely glad to be back on the road doing what we were meant to do – play live and loud – for our fans around the world. And it’s been too long since we came to Asia, so we’re fixing that right now!

This India tour began with the Oddball Festival announcement and now there are more club shows. Considering the festival setting, are we going to hear slightly different sets at Oddball and then in the club shows?

Maybe! We haven’t figured it out yet, to be honest. I’m sure we’ll have a plan by the time we get onstage.

How has it been prepping to return to different parts of the world, like India, following the lull that came about during the pandemic?

A lot of what we do to get ready for a big international tour is the same as before – just making sure we have our set together, our equipment together, our logistics together. Boring stuff honestly! But we have a renewed appreciation for being able to do it in the first place after this long, unrequested pause.

During the pandemic, what was it like not being able to get up on a stage together as The Aristocrats? Do you feel like there’s a sonic language that you all share, that ran the risk of getting rusty, as was the case with so many bands who suddenly became “long-distance” and confined to Zoom calls and the likes?

I think that whatever language we are fortunate enough to share is somewhat timeless. After all, we didn’t even know we shared it when we first met, and there it was waiting for us. So if it survived the first 40 years of our lives when we weren’t a band, I trust that it will survive this short break from live shows, which is now thankfully over.

the aristocrats the defrost tour

With the release of your album with the Primuz Chamber Orchestra, some people felt that when a band scales up to give us an offering like this, they also create an expectation that live shows could be on this level. We saw the studio footage of the orchestra in action, so are live concerts with them also in the works?

We love the work we did together with the Primuz Chamber Orchestra, and we’re grateful so many people enjoyed that unique collaboration. Right now, we’re focused on just getting back on tour, like so many other bands, and there are some additional logistical issues that didn’t exist in the past, so we’ll see as we get going. We’re certainly not ruling anything out.

You mentioned that there will be new and unheard material being tested out on this Asia tour. What kind of direction do these new tunes head in? What’s been an exciting thing about writing/performing these new songs in particular?

Like most of our material, it can go in any direction at any moment! But there’s a certain kind of excitement we have about this new material that we can’t quite describe. That’s probably good. I think the ideal state of music defies language’s ability to fully define it. Beyond that, I think we’ll have more to say when the time is right.

To ask a bit of a cliched question, what have been your favorite memories from India over the few times you’ve performed here, either with Aristocrats or your solo acts?

The incredibly enthusiastic fans, of course! Some of the loudest, most amazing crowds in the world. It’s such a thrill performing into that energy.

At Oddball Festival, you’re sharing the billing with the likes of Blackstratblues and MaMoGi, which has Mohini Dey in it. Are there support acts that you’re looking forward to catch during the festival dates?

We know there are a lot of great bands on the bill, and Mohini Dey is one of the world’s most incredible bassists. It’s always a little crazy on show days but we hope to see as much as we can.

What else is coming up through 2023 for The Aristocrats? 

We’re working on a new studio album, and we have touring coming up all over the U.K. and Europe. We’re looking forward to it all!

Description.

The Aristocrats: Instrumental Rock/Fusion’s “Rowdy New Democracy”

Over the past ten years The Aristocrats have released critically acclaimed albums, toured the world, and established themselves as one of the most musically original, refreshingly irreverent, and astoundingly entertaining instrumental rock-fusion acts on the planet. Anyone who’s witnessed their live musical high-wire act – employing random amounts of rock, jazz, pop, metal, country, and everything in between – can attest that it is informed by the spirit of a true band, one whose improvisational soul allows for anything to happen onstage at any moment…including the occasional Frank-Zappa-influenced wink and nod at the audience.

The Aristocrats will make their long-awaited return to the stages for the DEFROST tour. The tour will mark their first live performances since FREEZE! was captured. Audiences starved for some trademark Aristocratic musical mayhem will be treated to a debut of select new material not yet released on any album, as well as a carefully curated collection of fan favourites and deep cuts.
