With the roar of an engine and a billowing cloud of smoke, Denver’s stoner/sludge freaks Git Some will be blowing town and stinking up the van for a string of tour dates ending with a performance at Total Fest in Missoula, MT!

The band features Planes Mistaken For Stars alumni Chuck French on guitar and Neil Keener on bass, and has garnered comparisons to Drive Like Jehu, later-era Black Flag, and The Jesus Lizard. They released their debut LP, “Cosmic Rock,” last year via 1-2-3-4-GO Records.
