KEN Mode Announces Profound Lore SXSW Show

KEN Mode is gearing up to release ‘Venerable’ on March 15 via Profound Lore and are now excited to announce their participation in the label’s official SXSW showcase in Austin, TX. The showcase will take place at VALHALLA (710 Red River St) and also features performances from Profound Lore artists Slough Feg, Grayceon, Castevet, Wolvhammer and Bruce Lamont of Yakuza. Acclaimed artist Glyn Smyth of Scrawled Design (Wolves In The Throne Room, Cough, Subrosa) created the poster for the show (attached) and will be screened and sold at the show.

KEN Mode is also going to be touring North America extensively in support of ‘Venerable’ and I would like to invite you out to a show in your area. Guest list is available on all dates (minus SXSW parties) and you are invited to photograph, interview KEN Mode and participate in any other press opportunities that you have in mind.
