All hail the dark side of the force, this night shall go down in Berlin rock history as the Blackest of all. It’s all gone black. Black Mountain at Festsaal, Black Angels in Comet Club…….rage black-out at Blitzgigs HQ. This is ridicerous.
Why? you ask. Well kids, it’s like this, The Black Angels are one of the finest psych-rock bands around, just think back to how much you enjoyed Wooden Shjips and you’re on the right track, and not only do they unfortunately come to town the same night as Black Mountain we’ve also discovered that these two bands are actually touring together later this year with a double-headlining show of cosmic psych-rock legendariness in London before a tour through the US and Canada ending in Black Mountains’ hometown Vancouver. So, naturally the only question is who’s got a van and secondly, I reckon we can take in a few Guided By Voices shows along the way too. This could be the best winter ever.
The Black Angels release their 3rd album “Phosphene Dream” on September 13th, check out the artwork on that one, phew, these guys don’t just pretend to be into the cool of psych-rock and all it entails, cool record covers, posing looking spaced out and interesting, the website is all wobbly and liquidy and nothing is as it seems, the edges are soft and…….ooh, it’s not what you need to look at with a gigantic hangover. My tummy feels funny. But if you’re feeling fine it’s just the ticket. It’s psych-rock of the highest quality, literally. Dark and brooding and trippy and wibbly and slightly sinister. Perfect.
I’m going to get in training. Why? you ask. If I’m going to take in Black Mountain and Black Angels in one night, or at least some parts of both, it all depends on who has the better merch table really (or the cuter merch table girls 
) then it’s no more booze and kippen for this boyo. Me, wagon, it, on. Over and out.
