Tours of Note: the Black Angels
August 28th, 2007 - by Eddie
I love this band. Back in April, someone over at Big Hassle Media told me about the Black Angels and, after listening to a couple of songs on their Myspace page, was convinced to check them out.
I was blown. BLOWN. There are six people in this Austin band and attacked the Middle East club in Cambridge with a loud bass that I can still feel reverberating through my soul.
The other reason I like them? I always imagine strippers dancing to the bass lines in “Black Grease,” and, if you like scantily-clad women dancing around in your head, it’s a nice image to have.
The Black Angels, thanks to the strength of their release “Passover,” have been tapped to support Queens of the Stone Age during their fall tour. This is rock that takes over your body and makes you crazy. You will not be sorry.
Listen to The Black Angels song “The First Vietnamese War” MP3 from Passover:
