SXSW Bands We Know: The Black Angels
March 10th, 2008 - by Eddie
I love this goddamn band. The first time I saw them, it was on a whim. I got an email from someone (PR guy) telling me to check out this band. I went on their Myspace and heard “Black Grease.” Based on that song alone, I went to the show and the six-member band ripped opened my chest and injected psychedelic rock straight into my veins. I’ve been a fan ever since.
If I owned a strip club, I’d have the classiest lady in the joint dance to “Black Grease.” It just has that strip club vibe. Just saying.
Their album is Passover and it kicks ass. Pick it up now if you want to live again.
See them at SXSW Wednesday, March 12, 12 AM at Bourbon Rocks Patio (508 E 6th Street).
