King Crimson alumni DAVID CROSS and his LARKS’ TONGUES BAND will tour North America in the Fall of 2024, celebrating the King Crimson Trilogy albums from the band’s 1972-1974 period, when Robert Fripp’s led band released three seminal legendary albums: LARKS’ TONGUES IN ASPIC, STARLESS AND THE BIBLE BACK and RED. The band will perform entirely the Lark’s Tongue In Aspic album and most of the musics from other two albums, plus some improvs, very characteristic for the live King Crimson band from those days when Robert Fripp was accompanied by Bill Bruford, John Eaton and Jamie Muir.
