Multinational blues rock superstars Blues Pills’ special showcase at SchwuZ in Berlin, Germany this past April has been recorded in its entirety and will be broadcasted this coming Sunday, June 7th at 12:25 AM, CET via French/German cultural TV station ARTE.  

The band’s new release is the very limited live album, entitled Blues Pills Live (Nuclear Blast). A trailer for the release can be found below, as well as the stunning artwork by Marjke Koger-Dunham (The Beatles, Cream) who also created the cover for the band’s self-titled debut album.

 

 

The album was recorded during the band's headlining show at last year's Freak Valley Festival, which marked a special event for the group. With releasing Blues Pills Live, the band says thank you to the person and festival that paved the way for what is today known as, the hottest band in classic/blues rock.

"To the lovely freaks, Freak Valley creators, our dear friend Jens Heide.

For us this moment and this day was really special. It felt like all the puzzle pieces came together up until one moment, this experience at Freak Valley festival. This was our first ever appearance at Freak Valley and our first ever headline show on an outdoor festival. We've known about Jens and his freaks for a long time. He gave the name to our band and been supporting us since day one, before our demos where public or even recorded, before when there was only a young and naive dream of playing for any crowds or getting record deals, before we even played a single show - before devil man even was written and before the band was fully formed, before when it was just the beginning of an idea. This show is a magical moment for us - this is where the circle connects with its other half. This record will only be released on vinyl and cd - the cover is made by our favourite artist Marijke Koger-Dunhamn. Recorded LIVE at one of Europe’s coolest and loveable festivals of our time - Freak Valley Festival. Thank you freaks, Freak Valley pioneers and Jens for this experience and for your support. We won't forget, ever.”

Blues Pills Live is available in various vinyl colors (black, blue, yellow, splatter) as well as on CD in a lavish upright digibook. No digital version will be made available. The release is strictly limited and won't be reprinted once it is sold out.
