Los Angeles power trio Sasquatch announce the June 3 arrival of their awaited sixth album, Fever Fantasy. Preorders are open now for the Mad Oak Records release, and the band has booked a four-week US/Canada tour alongside Portland, Oregon's Hippie Death Cult as well as an early fall Australia/New Zealand tour with Pieces of Molly.
It's been five long years since Sasquatch powerhoused their way through Maneuvers, their last LP. With Keith Gibbs on guitar and vocals, Jason "Cas" Casanova on bass and drummer Craig Riggs (also Kind, Roadsaw, etc.) making his debut with the band, the album established a raw rock-for-rockers ethic that Fever Fantasy pushes forward and builds on. Returning to New York to work again with producer Andrew Schneider, the album was completed late in 2019 and has been waiting for release ever since.
"There was no way to know when the time would be right, of course," says Casanova, "but we didn't want to throw the tunes out there without being able to support them in the right way. We can't wait to hang with old friends and new on the road for this album."
With more tours to be announced and more music to come, Sasquatch aren't just "returning" or "picking up where they left off." In Fever Fantasy, they're answering a call with volume heavy-hitting rock and roll as only they can.

For over 20 years, Los Angeles power trio Sasquatch have been an institution among fuzz heads and those willing to groove. Their early work on 2004's self-titled debut, 2006's II and 2010's III took them through lineup changes but found them unflinching in their purpose toward modernizing the classic heavy rock of their youth, and with 2013's IV and 2017's Maneuvers, their maturity -- such as it is -- has seen no letup in urgency. Founding vocalist/guitarist Keith Gibbs, bassist Jason "Cas" Casanova (ex-Tummler and Behold! the Monolith) and drummer Craig Riggs (Roadsaw, Kind) recorded Fever Fantasy late in 2019 with NY-based producer Andrew Schneider, and have held back releasing it until conditions permitted touring, and having already been to multiple continents and reaped the reward of a dedicated, still-growing fanbase, they look to 2022 and beyond as a chance to build on the accomplishments that have made them one of their generation's most heralded American heavy rock bands.
