Black Angels [and Death Song]

Also heavily influenced by the 13th Floor Elevators and the psychedelic ethos, The Black Angels (named after the Velvet Underground song - 'Black Angels Death Song') are a band emerging from a small scene in Austin, Texas. Mostly known through word of mouth and internet corridoors they are creating a devoted following amongst the festival scene. Singles such as 'Black Grease' and 'Empire' display their ability to blast face-melting riffs where as tracks such as 'Manipulation' and 'You On The Run' excrete layer upon layer of psych drenched instruments and menacing drone. Recenlty they have played SXSW and opened concerts for the Warlocks and BRMC.
