US groove rockers Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol announce full EU & UK tour dates in May; Western US tour starts in March!

Austin, Texas based trio Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol announce the complete dates of their upcoming first ever EU and UK tour, kicking off on May 15th, 2025. Please see all dates below. Tickets for all shows are available now HERE.

The band is currently on the road for the last week of their East Coast tour with Lip Critic supporting. Following shortly after SXSW, the band embarks on Western US headlining dates.

»Big Dumb Riffs« is available on digital, vinyl LP and cassette, released May 10th, 2024. Order/stream the album on all formats HERE.

“Our catalog has never been short on big dumb riffs, but the idea on this record was to really turn the screw,” says RBBP bassist Aaron Metzdorf. On »Big Dumb Riffs«, that screw is cranked incredibly tight.

“We just wanted ‘the part’: The opening of Pantera’s »Primal Concrete Sledge«, the breakdown in Primus’ »Pudding Time« – the shit that makes you move and lose your mind. Just that part the whole time.”

Across 11 concise, taut songs – most clocking in around 2 minutes or less – Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol demonstrates their skillful ability to blend the merciless low end of Leo Lydon’s 8-string guitar, Aaron Metzdorf’s masterful chordwork on the bass, and Sean St.Germain’s driving drumming.

“I guarantee you, it will be jammed firmly in your head for days on end.” — Metal Injection

“An instant earworm.” — Metal Sucks

“As ridiculously awesome as their big, dumb moniker would imply… churning out lumbering cascades of clobbering, trucker hat riffage that toe a slobbery line between Dinosaur Jr., Primus, Pantera and ZZ Top.” — Decibel Magazine

“Epically catchy… Imagine the ear-wormy fuzz-rock riffage of Dinosaur Jr. if it was played on an eight-string guitar with super heavy low-end.” — Revolver Magazine
