@trailofjeff "They had us by the brain banana for nearly 2 hours. Calling it 'epic' doesn't really do it justice."

@paulH-JBaus "The Black Angels killed it last night at the Enmore. An incredible set of fuzzed out bad juju vibes and mind melting grooves for all."

@ChrisZajko "the @theblackangels gig last night at @Enmore_Theatre was one of the best live shows Ive seen."

Only a year old, Wellington's Sunken Seas have already released their debut album 'Null Hour' and have performed alongside Bailterspace and Wooden Shjips. Their music has been described as "space rock" and "cathartic, affecting the feeling of being sucked through a quickly spiralling black hole." Woah! Come see them play in Wellington and see what all the fuss is about before they head off on an international tour.

Ghost Wave is a four-piece rock n roll band hailing from Auckland, New Zealand. Their sound finds itself somewhere between the Flying Nun bands of the '80s, the British explosion of the '60's and they wayfaring dubs of Lee "Scratch" Perry. Early praise has come from the tastemaker blogs, Neon Gold and Pretty Much Amazing who liken their sound to Tame Impala and Deerhunter. The band have also played the SXSW and CMJ festivals in the USA, and will be supporting The Black Angels at their Auckland show.

THE BLACK ANGELS NZ TOUR


Rhythm Group Entertainment, Under the Radar and 95bFM are excited to be bringing Texan based psychedelic rock band THE BLACK ANGELS to New Zealand audiences for the first time.

Known for their monumental live sets with hypnotizing projections, the band will play two shows on their way to Glastonbury Festival in the UK. A New York Times live review said THE BLACK ANGELS “play psychedelic rock as if the 1960s never ended, and they are absolute masters of it.”

THE BLACK ANGELS have been at the forefront of the neo-psychedelic movement for over a decade and are co-founders of the biggest psychedelic music festival in the world, The Austin Psych Festival. The band has also toured with the likes of The Black Keys, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Queens of the Stone Age, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Ravonettes and The Horrors.

The band’s first visit to New Zealand comes hot off the heels of their fourth critically acclaimed album, INDIGO MEADOW.


Do not miss the opportunity to see these undisputed pioneers of contemporary psychedelic rock, THE BLACK ANGELS.
