The Black Angels is a psychedelic rock band from Austin, Texas, formed in May 2004. Their name derives from the Velvet Underground song "The Black Angel's Death Song".
Among other venues, they have played at SXSW 2006 and some festivals in the Midwest in summer 2006. They will be touring the West Coast in October 2006 and the East Coast in November. A major tour partner is the blues rock band The Black Keys.
Hannah Levin's review of the Black Angels album Passover described them as "Walking in the shadows cast by Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized mastermind Jason Pierce" and compared them to The Warlocks and Black Mountain, also invoking "dirges" reminiscent of both The Velvet Underground and the 13th Floor Elevators. The band's icon is a stylized image of Nico.
Los he descubierto este año pero su unico disco es del 2006 y es una autentica gozada. Si a alguien le interesa puedo subirlo a la zona de DD.
Yo el año pasado lo puse en segundo lugar de mis discos favoritos. Me encanta su disco. Es super hipnótico. Vinieron de gira por europa a principios de año acompañando a los black keys. Por aquí, nada de nada.
Tu lo has dicho: hipnótico. Sin duda uno de los mejores discos del año pasado.
