Royal Trux Announce New Live Album Platinum Tips + Ice Cream

Royal Trux are back with a new live album. It’s called Platinum Tips + Ice Cream and it’s out June 16 via Drag City. Recorded at two shows in California and New York, it marks the band’s first release since their 2015 reunion. (Jennifer Herrema said that she and Neil Hagerty hadn’t been in the same room together for 13 years previously.) Platinum Tips + Ice Cream‘s twelve tracks span their entire catalogue and are presented in “new, live, unrehearsed” renditions, according to the press release. Check out the cover art and tracklist below, as well as Royal Trux’s tour itinerary. 

Royal Trux’s first reunion show took place at Berserktown II Festival in Los Angeles in August 2015. Later that year, they performed another reunion show at Webster Hall in New York.
