Cynic & Atheist tour 2023-06-09 by Fernando Alves STAFF | 43 Comments |
Cynic are heading off on a special co-headlining tour of North America with fellow progressive music icons Atheist. The band is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Focus by playing the whole album. Joining Paul Masvidal on stage are guitarist Max Phelps (Exist, Death to All), bassist Brandon Giffin (The Faceless, The Zenith Passage), drummer Matt Lynch (Nova Collective, Intronaut) and keyboardist Zeke Kaplan. They'll also be paying tribute to late members Sean Reinert and Sean Malone.
"We'll be celebrating our lifelong journey together," says Masvidal. "Don't miss a night of Cynic and Atheist magic!"
"This is something Paul and I have been talking about since we were in our early 20s," says Kelly Schaefer, Atheist's vocalist and guitarist. "It's surreal to share a 30-year milestone together".
Atheist will be performing songs from their first three albums, including some that they haven't performed in decades.

|
| |
Just saw the dallas show, got to have good conversations with both Kelly and Paul. Awesome performance from both bands
|
| |
How the fuck are two OG Florida bands going to skip Florida?
|
| |
Cynic is/was composed mostly of gay members, no? obvious reasons im sure
|
| |
Sucks for their gay fans in Florida tho
|
| |
Cause Florida fuckin sucks to tour to because it’s not close to anything else lol
|
| |
Met Cynic back in 2010, wont go to this though.
was meeting them a particularly negative experience?
|
| |
Don’t a lot of bands get robbed in Florida? I wouldn’t go there either
|
| |
Need input on how this tour has been if any of you go. Might go myself, just don't know what to expect.
|
| |

This show was fuckin awesome. Atheist put on one of the best sets I’ve ever seen, and it was super beautiful to see Focus played live in its entirety. Poh Hock were the opener for the Boston show and they were pretty great too. Kelly Shaefer even came up to my gf and I to take a picture.
