Photos: BONGZILLA (Cambridge, MA) – 2023/11/08


Long-time stoner metal overlords BONGZILLA rose from a dense crowd that reeked of marijuana on a chilly autumn night. Blunts, bones, and bowls stretched the sidewalk outside of the venue as others stayed inside sipping on whiskey after consuming an edible.

The riffdealers have released their sixth album, Dab City (2023 – Heavy Psych Sounds), paying homage to their hometown of Madison, Wisconsin, having formed there in 1995. A political and social hotbed and lightning rod for our state, the capital city is known as Mad City. Dab City is their second album as a three-piece, recorded on 2-inch analog tape over two sessions at Future Apple Tree Studio in Rock Island, Illinois. Over 120 grams of cannabis flower went into the recording sessions.
