Legendary Tacoma, Washington mathcore/hardcore/metal band Botch announce their final reunion shows in Seattle to take place in June 2024 following what will be their last EU/UK and Australian tours. Please see all dates below. All ticket links are HERE.


Bassist Brian Cook, guitarist David Knudson, drummer Tim Latona, and vocalist Dave Verellen formed Botch in 1993, becoming one of the most ground-breaking and influential bands during a pivotal shift in heavy music. Their final show was June 15, 2002. The members would go on to play in These Arms Are Snakes, Minus the Bear, Russian Circles and Sumac, among others.


What better way for Botch to end their unexpected year of reunion shows than with a two-night run at Seattle’s Showbox on June 14th and 15th? Not only will the final show coincide with the 22nd anniversary of their farewell show back in 2002 in the same venue, the show will also feature support bands that are alumni from that night — Helms Alee and Great Falls feature members of Harkonen and Playing Enemy, respectively, who opened the show back in 2002. The first night will feature Olympia’s desolate death metal outfit Mortiferum and cult grind savants Caustic Wound.


“It’s been an absolute pleasure to play all these songs for both our old fans, and new fans that have found us over the last 22 years," says guitarist David Knudson. "We’ve loved playing for you and seeing your beautiful faces in cities that we never thought we’d get to perform in again. Thank you for welcoming us back. We are so fortunate to be able play one last tour in Europe and Australia before we finish again in Seattle this June."
