CONCERT REVIEW: The Black Angels @ Union Transfer 10/27
Armed with droning synths, astro-sized vocals and thickly distorted guitars, Austin’s Black Angels rocked Union Transfer Thursday night. They opened with “Haunting at 1300 McKinley” from last year’s Phosphene Dream, the album from which much of their set was picked, but it was Passover’s “Bloodhounds on my Trail” that seemed to move the crowd the most. There was a live video feed of them with day-glo colors pojected onto that backdrop, reminiscent of a ’70s music video.
Dead Meadow’s opening set prior was a little less droney and more fuzzy, wah-pedaled and sludgey. Their long, down-tempo songs such “Sleepy Silver Door,” from their self-titled release and “At Her Open Door,” off of Feathers gave their set a more improvised, guitar-driven feel. Sadly, technical issues forced them to cut their set short. Before their set was Spindrift’s spaghetti western rock full of train sounds created by the drummer, whistles, ‘hey, hey hey!s’ and wind blowing tumbleweed duplications. They even dressed the part, wearing hats that could hold a couple gallons and cowboy boots.
