Description

After returning to the US in late April 2022, The War On Drugs took a short break berore heading back out on an intense 7-week tour that took the band to Mexico, across the US, and back to Europe.  After a massive show with The Strokes in Mexico City, the band returned to the US for a tour that concluded at Bonnaroo in June.  They made a quick turnaround, and headed back to Europe for a show opening for The Rolling Stones in London, as well as run of mostly festival dates across Europe.  Despite a Covid outbreak that took down 3 members of the tour party simultaneously, the band and crew rallied to support each other once more, and by the time they returned to the States in early July, they'd successfully crushed another 28 shows.Host: Dominic EastGuests: Adam Granduciel, Dave Hartley, Robbie Bennett, Charlie Hall, Anthony LaMarca, Jon Natchez, Eliza Hardy-Jones, Craig McQuiston

Although the Super High Quality Podcast was dormant for much of 2022 as the band toured heavily in support of the album I Don’t Live Here Anymore (which includes the Grammy-Nominated song “Harmonia’s Dream”) The War On Drugs are preparing new episodes for a third season of their Super High Quality Podcast. Presented as a series of audio stories told by the band members and crew and featuring previously unreleased recordings, this oral history of their 2022 tour cycle goes behind the scenes to tell the story of a most extraordinary year on the road. Through music, intra-band stage chatter, and a focus on the band’s incredible light show, guitar tech Dominic East covers all the production ups and downs, and takes the story backstage, through airports and hotels, and out to the bus to reveal what it was like to put on an evening of LIVE DRUGS again, night after night.
