The Black Angels

Live at the Metro Theatre, Sydney. OK, these guys had us when we learned that, amongst their many achievements, they once doubled as Roky Erickson’s backing band. The fact that the famed leader of the legendary 60s psychedelic band Thirteenth Floor Elevators would choose these guys to back him is frankly no great surprise - they’ve carved out an impressive career as one of the great American psychedelic bands in their own right. Taking their name from a Velvet Underground song (The Black Angel’s Death Song), they’ve toured over the years with the likes of The Black Keys, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Queens of the Soneage and even Australia’s own Wolfmother - so that should give you an idea. We caught this show in 2011 after the release of their highly regarded third album ‘Phosphene Dream’.
