"Ben Hozie Announces New Film and UK Tour Dates"
Exciting news for fans of BODEGA! The NYC-based quintet has just announced additional UK tour dates for November, along with the release of their highly anticipated new album, All Inside Aquarium, set to launch on October 9th through Chrysalis Records. This new album promises to showcase the band’s evolution in sound, with their latest single “Weather Me” already making waves.
The single is an exploration of modern life, filled with its myriad information streams and the challenges that come with them. Vocalist and percussionist Nikki Belfiglio describes “Weather Me” as a reflection of navigating the turmoil of everyday grievances while standing strong amidst the chaos. This track exemplifies the band’s new stylistic direction and is a must-listen for anyone keen on contemporary rock music.
In addition to their album release, BODEGA is branching out into film with their guitarist and vocalist Ben Hozie’s new feature, “Jack London Calling.” This punk rock romantic comedy will begin filming this month in Brooklyn and features a star-studded cast including Katie Alice Greer, Peter Vack, and Nikki Belfiglio herself. To support the project, a GoFundMe campaign has been launched for initial production costs.
BODEGA’s upcoming tour will include performances across major UK cities, with stops in Glasgow, Manchester, and London, among others. The band’s trajectory has seen them grow from their post-punk roots to a broader sound, blending melodic rock with ambitious songwriting.
This transition is evident in the album All Inside Aquarium, where the band worked carefully with producer Matt Peel to capture their live energy in a studio setting. Rather than focusing solely on sociopolitical themes, the new material embraces a more poetic sensibility, inviting listeners to connect on a deeper emotional level.
Fans of the band can expect a mix of influences throughout the album, including a reimagined version of Bob Dylan’s “Slow Train.” BODEGA’s commitment to pushing musical boundaries is clear, with a diverse array of sounds and styles featured throughout the record.
With all this excitement, it’s the perfect time to catch BODEGA live. Tickets for their November UK tour are now available, and given their previous performances have sold out, fans are encouraged to secure their spots early. As they prepare for a whirlwind of touring, album releases, and film production, BODEGA’s dynamic presence in the modern music landscape continues to strengthen.
Mark your calendars: All Inside Aquarium drops on October 9th, and keep an eye out for their UK tour dates! Don’t miss out on the chance to experience BODEGA’s innovative blend of rock and poignant storytelling.
