Light In The Attic Records proudly presents the debut of The Black Angels. Armed with the home-grown mantra 'Turn On, Tune In, Drone Out' from deep in the heart of Texas, The Black Angels ring real and rugged like a red moonlit night. Formed in May of 2004, the band’s sanctimonious holy racket was born out of life-long friendships drawn up in blood and sealed with a kiss. Their self proclaimed 'Native American Drone ‘N’ Roll' genre has progressed from communal living and the members eclectic upbringings; Bassist Ryan was born on a cult compound, guitarist Bland is the real deal son of a Texas preacher man, organ player Raines grew up in a mortuary, and drummer Bailey and vocalist Maas believe a little girl in a red linen dress haunts the group’s home. Taking their name from the classic Velvet Underground tune 'The Black Angel’s Death Song', these Angels are far more than classic revisionists with extensive record collections. This is heavy-duty psychedelic rock with an incessant primitive beat that echoes the spirit of the 13th Floor Elevators and early Stones as witnesses to one of their epic 3-hour multimedia hometown performances will attest. The Black Angels reverberate madly with shards of fuzzed out guitar, submarine bass lines, tom-tom fuelled drumming, kaleidoscopic keys, and world-weary singing. With strong success in and around the out-skirts of Austin, a city literally exploding with music, it was the prolific hard working band’s sold-out west coast summer 2005 tour that generated increased domestic and overseas buzz; including solid press coverage and exclusive spins on BBC Radio by Zane Lowe. 2005.
