Rock ’n’ roll music has always been a reflection of the times, and the new Gov’t Mule album, Revolution Come… Revolution Go, is no exception. “It was very poignant that we went into the studio in Austin, Texas, to begin recording on Election Day,” Grammy Award-winning vocalist and guitar legend Warren Haynes recalls. “It’s not a political record, per se, but there are political connotations.” The new record, released on June 9 coincides with their upcoming tour, including An Evening with Gov’t Mule at the Palace Theatre on Saturday, September 28.

Before they were celebrated recording artists and queer icons, they were twin sisters growing up down the hall from one another, struggling to figure out their identities, their sexuality, and their futures.

The Hey, I’m Just Like You Tour brings the duo to The Fitzgerald Theater on Sunday, October 13.

“People are always trying to figure out which compartment we fit into. They wanna put us on a shelf. But in a world of Sabbaths, we get to be Van Halen.” That’s Torche-guitarist and producer Jon Nuñez talking about his band’s uneasy relationship with categorization. Over the last 15 years, Torche—led by the core trio of Nuñez, guitarist/vocalist Steve Brooks and drummer Rick Smith—have often been saddled with one-dimensional niche terms like doom, sludge, or stoner rock, but none of them really apply. “That shit is tiresome,” he says. “When people ask me what kind of music we play, I just say, ‘loud rock n’ roll.’” Torche plays the Fine Line with The Wolf Council and Crash Cuddle on Thursday, July 25.
