Austin, TX psych rock outfit The Black Angels are playing Georgia Theatre Thursday with Allah-Las and Elephant Stone , and we've got a pair of tickets to give away. The Black Angels are killer live, Allah-Las were on my SXSW list but I wasn't able to catch them, and I've heard good things about Elephant Stone. Solid bill all around. Fun fact: The Black Angels took their name from The Velvet Underground [...]

The Black Angels with Suuns / Mr. Smalls / 04.06.2011 / $15 / Doors 8:00 pm Words by Brendan Sullivan Like it or not, a lot of music criticism these days amounts to a game of "spot the influence". The Black Angels have practically tattooed their influences on their faces, though, ruining this silly game, thankfully. A heavy dose of psychedelic pop, à la fellow Austinites the 13th Floor Elevators ? Check. Some gloomy/dirgy melodies and lyrics, à la the Velvet Underground ? [...]

The Black Angels lifted their name from the Velvet Underground cut "The Black Angels Death Song" – their sound: stirring up the late 60s with threatening bolts of bleeding reverb and bone-chilling psychedelic tidal waves, sturdy as the hangman's rope. With two albums under their belts, Passover and Directions to See a Ghost , the Austin-based quintet signed to the iconic and recently re-launched Blue Horizon Records, setting free their highly anticipated Phosphene Dream . Produced by Dave Sardy, this set finds the band pushing and expanding, further into a new direction: [...]
The Black Angels are back with a new music video for their single, "Telephone", off of their latest release, Phosphene Dream. You can catch Black Mountain team up with The Black Angels at the El Rey Theatre on Wednesday, November...
The Black Angels are embracing their happy-go-lucky sides with this shiny little pop throwback. From their most recent album, this month's Phosphene Dream , "Telephone" is 2:11 of raw, white-hot teenage fun from an idyllic and imaginary time. Get off your high horses, long-term fans! It doesn't always have to be so dark. Just sometimes. Give the kids a break: they used to back Roky Erickson.

Just by coincidence it seems we've been sent a few videos lately that have caught our eyes (and our ears), so as well as our Caitlin Rose post of yesterday , we thought we'd share these with you too. First up is psychedelic stoners The Black Angels in lighter mood with their video for Telephone . It is from new album Phosphene Dream which was released today. Download The Black Angels - Telephone mp3 [...]

I honestly have no reason for this post other than I love the song and I love The Black Angels . They recently rocked this song last week at the Late Show with David Letterman and ever since then people have been raving about this Austin natives.. Their sound is pure ol ' 60s Psychedelic and though that can get annoying they know how to make it hip and enjoyable; will we be listening to psychedelic music instead of electro in the future? maybe and I'm OK with it.
