THE BLACK ANGELS
Austin-based psychedelic rock band, The Black Angels' third album is the highly anticipated Phosphene Dream, released in September 2010. Phosphene Dream marks a giant leap forward for the band. Produced and mixed by Dave Sardy (Oasis, Wolfmother, Black Mountain) over a period of six months in Los Angeles, the album shows off both sonically and musically a bold new direction for The Black Angels, a fresh take on the neo-Psychedelic movement they’ve been at the forefront of for years. The band is featured in the UNKLE song “With You In My Head,” which is played during the most pivotal scene in the hugely popular film, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

While past albums Passover and Directions to See a Ghost were recorded in the band’s hometown of Austin, Texas, the process by which Phosphene Dream was created pulled the band out of their comfort zone and forced them to look at songwriting and recording in a way they never had before. Years of non-stop worldwide touring have turned The Black Angels into a tightly wound unit, and those years of work are all on showcase here. The band plans to celebrate the release with more years of touring, starting at the end of August where the band will be playing the Reading and Leeds festivals in the UK, Rock en Seine in Paris, and the highly coveted Jim Jarmusch curated stage at ATP in NYC.
DEAD MEADOW
Dead Meadow's unique marriage of Sabbath riffs, dreamy layers of guitars fuzz bliss, and singer Jason Simon's high-pitched melodic croon have wond over both psychedelic pop/rock and stoner-rock fans alike. Although the band's members met while attending all-ages punk shows in and around Washington D.C.'s punk/indie scene, the trio's sound draws more of their sound from such classic rock legends as Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath.
SPINDRIFT
Spindrift, California’s psychedelic spaghetti western pioneers, have built their career on American mythology and cinematic drama. Appropriating the legacy of Ennio Morricone, The Sons of The Pioneers, and Johnny Western, they make it their own with flavors of The Doors, Joe Meek, and Lee Hazlewood & Nancy Sinatra. The band’s defining moment was singer Kirpatrick Thomas’s 2001 cross-country odyssey as he transplanted from Newark, Delaware to Los Angeles: exploring the west in a furious, music-filled rocket blast, like Lewis and Clark led by Hunter S.
