The Black Angels

[Frank The Bunny]

Anybody heard this Austin band?

I just found them this evening, on one of Frank the Bunny's Jack'n'Coke Fuelled New Music Hunts®. I wish I'd found them sooner

Other standout tracks: "Doves", "Mission District" and "Science Killer" from their album, Directions to See a Ghost. "You on the Run" has a Chameleons vibe to it.

Sober now. They still sound good. Sort of a BRMC vs Jefferson Airplane vs JAMC vibe.

Goddamnit! Looks like they were just here 2 months ago... as the backup band for Roky Erickson (13th Floor Elevators). And at my favorite venue!

I bet Will would be thrilled to hear Roky is still out there touring.

That sounds like it would have been a helluva show.
