On Valentine's Day, Brooklyn's Your 33 Black Angels returns with their fifth full-length installment of psychedelic rock, Moon and Morning Star . Known for their rowdy live shows, this band of self-described "musical lunatics" can range in size from a core group of eight (with appropriately strange names like S. Sunshine, J. O!, and D. Zots) to "countless others." The organs backing Y33BA's rock and roll texture coupled with singer Josh Westfalt's languid delivery recall the early psych-rock of Roky Erickson and The Seeds. Check out the album's first single, "Patient Love", below. [...]

So this is pretty bloody cool. The Black Angels laid a set out as a part of Last.fm Presents series. The band kick out tracks from Phosphene Dream and Phosgene Nightmare plus one previously unreleased number. Check it out.

It's that time of year again: Reindeers and lights everywhere, and long lists of presents… especially from my children. For my part, I just want 2012 to be as much of a "party year" as 2011 has been - or better even! I have a tough job (I may have ...

As we continue our look back on 2011, we reach April, a month that includes Record Store Day. An annual event that helps promote local independent record stores. Over the past decade we have seen many of these unique treasures go under, due to the proliferation of online retailers and big box behemoths, that has made it very difficult for the small local shops to compete. Many artist and labels unveil rare, and or exclusive vinyl releases each year, that are only available to these local stores, to help out. We have a few tracks from said releases in this [...]

• The Black Angels - The Boat Song

Here's Mister Jason's B-Side to "Mister Jason has a Posse", off FRANKENSTEEZ and the 103 vinyl EP. iTunes: Mister Jason Has a Posse! - Mister Jason CD/Vinyl: Frankensteez (Mister Jason of Porn Theatre Ushers + K-No Supreme + Rain)

Although the band have been on the scene since 2006, and their repertoire spans 3 albums plus 4 EP's, it's fair to say that The Black Angels still seem to remain somewhat under the radar. Perhaps it's because their genre, which is described as "Psychedelic Rock", is not exactly your mainstream style. However, you shouldn't be put off by thinking their sound is totally off the wall; it's not. They combine quite an epic percussion sound (really big and spacey – think Rolling Stones "Paint It Black") with mellow, gravelly vocals – the result [...]

[iPhone photos by acidjack] For some, Halloween means dressing up in an ironic/slut/wacky costume, and then hitting various bars acting like a jackass - which is totally cool by me. But for those seeking a tad more structure on a Monday Halloween night (and somewhere more interesting to wear said costume), Music Hall of Williamsburg offered an ideal bill of bands with a dark, psychedelic vibe - gothmeisters Exitmusic (our Glasslands recording of them here ), headliners The Black Angels (our most recent recording of them here ), and [...]

photos by Dana (distortion) Yavin "We got our name from the Velvet Underground song "The Black Angels Death Song." As far as touring with bands with "black" in their names- The Black Keys and Black Rebel Motercycle Club being the two off the top of my head, it was really amazing to be able to tour with those bands. We'd always been big fans of them and when the opportunity presented itself to tour with these bands for the first time, I was like "wow, awesome." [...]

ARTIST: The Black Angels - [Live] with Dead Meadow VENUE: Lee\\\\\\\'s Palace - Toronto, ON - 10/24/11 DATE: 11-01-11 REVIEW BY: Jackson Main PHOTO: Jackson Main It's been over forty years since the acid wave swept through music and gave birth to a genre dependant on mind-altering drugs and extended jam sessions. Unlike ska and swing, psychedelic rock hasn't had a resurgence...but why not? With driving guitars which are, by turns, loud and melodic along with bold and [...]

Happy Halloween to you and you and you. I'm sitting here dressed as Ash Ketchum from Pokémon hoping that the snow storm we had on Saturday night (seriously?) wasn't the beginning of winter for us here in New York City. It's currently supposed to be chilly but nice, which is, in my opinion, the best weather for venturing out and seeing some live music. From Feist and Battles , to The Drums and Pixies , we have some extraordinary artists visiting our city this week. See below for our suggested shows of [...]
