They&#8217;re currently on a headline tour here with support acts Holy Grail and Lazer\/Wulf, and put on a stellar performance at the Satellite last Saturday October 5th. Before the gig, I had the pleasure of talking to singer Ben Ward about the band&#8217;s active touring run, the latest album releases, club gigs versus European festivals, the UK scene, and lots more. Listen to the 15-minute chat below, and if you&#8217;re into heavy blues-based stoner rock and haven&#8217;t checked out Orange Goblin yet, they&#8217;ll certainly be right up your alley.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SL9Uzy0_NUg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Visit Orange Goblin on the web at:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/orange-goblin.com\" target=\"_blank\">orange-goblin.com<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/orangegoblinofficial\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>facebook.com\/<\/strong><wbr><\/wbr><\/a><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/orangegoblinofficial\" target=\"_blank\">orangegoblinofficial<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/orangegoblin1\" target=\"_blank\">twitter.com\/orangegoblin1<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Remaining tour dates:<\/strong><br \/>\n10\/09\/2013 Oakland Opera House \u2013 Oakland, CA<br \/>\n10\/10\/2013 Oak Street Speakeasy \u2013 Eugene, OR<br \/>\n10\/11\/2013 Fall Into Darkness Festival \u2013 Portland, OR<br \/>\n10\/12\/2013 The Highline \u2013 Seattle, WA<br \/>\n10\/13\/2013 Rickshaw Theater \u2013 Vancouver, BC<br \/>\n10\/15\/2013 The Palomino \u2013 Calgary, AB<br \/>\n10\/17\/2013 The Pawn Shop \u2013 Edmonton, AB<br \/>\n10\/18\/2013 Amigos \u2013 Saskatoon, SK<br \/>\n10\/19\/2013 Windsor Hotel \u2013 Winnipeg, MB<br \/>\n10\/20\/2013 The Aquarium \u2013 Fargo, ND<br \/>\n10\/21\/2013 Triple Rock \u2013 Minneapolis, MN<br \/>\n10\/22\/2013 Reggie\u2019s \u2013 Chicago, IL<br \/>\n10\/23\/2013 Pyramid Scheme &#8211; Grand Rapids, MI<br \/>\n10\/24\/2013 Now That\u2019s Class \u2013 Cleveland, OH<br \/>\n10\/25\/2013 Rockstar Arena \u2013 Dayton, OH<br \/>\n10\/26\/2013 Rex Theater \u2013 Pittsburgh, PA<br \/>\n10\/27\/2013 London Music Hall \u2013 London, ON<br \/>\n10\/28\/2013 The Opera House \u2013 Toronto, ON<br \/>\n10\/29\/2013 Mavericks \u2013 Ottawa, ON<br \/>\n10\/30\/2013 Foufounes Electriques \u2013 Montrea, QC<br \/>\n11\/01\/2013 Empire \u2013 Springfield, VA<br \/>\n11\/02\/2013 Saint Vitus \u2013 Brooklyn, NY<br \/>\n11\/03\/2013 The Note &#8211; West Chester, PA<br \/>\n11\/05\/2013 Strange Matter \u2013 Richmond, VA<br \/>\n11\/06\/2013 Tremont Music Hall \u2013 Charlotte, NC<br \/>\n11\/07\/2013 Broadway\u2019s \u2013 Asheville, NC<br \/>\n11\/08\/2013 The Earl \u2013 Atlanta, GA<br \/>\n11\/09\/2013 Exit\/In \u2013 Nashville, TN<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Andrew Bansal British stoner rock band Orange Goblin are having the busiest year of their career so far, and having been around since 1995, they&#8217;re finally able to present their music on stages across North America on a comprehensive level.
