Gravy Zeppelin Announces First-Ever World Tour – Dumpster to Stadium in Just One Leap
Des Moines, IA – Hide your snacks and hold onto your drumsticks—Gravy Zeppelin is going on tour! The world’s most chaotic band of semi-licensed, fur-covered sonic technicians is hitting the road (and possibly a few dumpsters) for their “Nocturnal Transmission World Tour 2025.”
Fresh off the release of their genre-defying debut album “Unlicensed but Loud, recorded entirely at Golden Bear Records (thanks for not asking too many questions), the band is finally ready to bring their blend of rock, funk, garage punk, and unintentional sound effects to the global stage.
TOUR LOCATIONS INCLUDE:
- Dumpsterstock 2025, Behind Denny’s, Ankeny, IA
- International TrashCan-A-Palooza, Toronto, Canada
- Rinse & Riff Fest, Laundromat Lot C, Berlin, Germany
- Pine Needle Jam, Deep Woods Amphitheater, Oregon
- Area 51 Open Mic, Nevada (if we get past security)
- Tokyo Trash Symphony, Alley #7, Shibuya, Japan
- Last Call Ball, Roof of Golden Bear Records, DSM (BYOBanana)
“We couldn’t have done this without the unwavering support of our family,” the band said in a joint statement from inside a stolen Ford Focus. “Big love to Golden Bear Records for taking a chance on a bunch of raccoons who kept unplugging the mixer.”
A howl-sized thank you also goes to Brian Herrin, affectionately dubbed King Duracell, for his late-night vocal coaching and letting the band bare their teeth to his chart-topping ballad “Hitachi.” (Brian, we promise we’ll return the microphone. Mostly intact.)
Special shout-out to Ashlie Van Horn, our motivational powerhouse and official Trash Whisperer, for talking us out of quitting the band every time someone stepped in the pizza box we used as a pedalboard.
Tickets are available now through questionable internet links, alley whispers, and maybe Eventbrite (jury’s out). Merch includes:
- Tail-wrapped tambourines
- “Certified Unhinged” tour shirts
- Brian Herrin air fresheners (smells like midnight and maple)
