BLACK PISTOL FIRE IN CONCERT:
Hard-hitting blues rock duo Black Pistol Fire has been wowing crowds and steadily building a devoted fanbase since they got started in 2010. The group scorches through their amped-up blues with a punk rock fervor in concert, doling out fuzzy guitar riffs and booming drum fills that get crowds headbanging along with their furious tunes. Guitarist/singer Kevin McKeown delivers passionate solos in between his howled verses, and drummer Eric Owen keeps their fiery jams firing on all cylinders with his energetic, intricate beats. Black Pistol Fire don't hold back during their explosive live shows, and ticket buyers will love every heart-pounding second of their sets as they tear through favorites "Hipster Shakes", "Run Rabbit Run", and "Bad Blood".
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Kevin McKeown and Eric Owen have been friends since their kindergarten days in Toronto. The two began their musical collaboration in high school playing in various bands and covering popular alternative groups like Weezer. After relocating to Austin, TX in 2010, the duo adopted the name Black Pistol Fire and switched their focus to hard rocking blues and R&B. They released a self-titled debut album in 2011 and picked up steam the following year with their sophomore LP Big Beat '59, and in 2013 they blew fans away at SXSW with a performance that led Huffington Post to label the group the "next big thing" in their festival wrap-up. After thrilling fans with the release of their third album Hush and Howl in 2014, they reached an even wider audience by touring with Wolfmother. Black Pistol Fire continue to deliver the same high-energy sound in both their rocking live shows and gripping records – including 2016's Don't Wake the Riot.
Best love show I’ve ever seen live. Absolute killer show.
Where the heck did these guys come from??? Small venue, sold out, two-man band rocked that house! No upcoming shows listed, why not???
Great venue and great energy from black pistol fire. For a 2 man band, they created a whole lotta noise and were super engaging and impressive. Will deff see them again
This band is straight fire! Energy is unmatched, gauranteed to have your face melted!
The opener was not very good. I had seen BPF open for the Glorious Sons in March 2020 - that's when I started really listening to BPF more. The Aug 25/22 show at the Commodore in Vancouver was incredible - these two guys can really pound it out and the guitar solos and energy on stage really got the crowd into it. Can't wait for the opportunity to see these guys again!!!
Best performance I’ve seen in a long while , it’s non stop high energy that makes you want to jump around with a big smile on your face
Black Pistol Fire is a high energy kick ass band. Venue is easy to get in and out good drinks and plenty of floor space
This is the third time I’ve seen Black Pistol Fire and every time they give an amazing show! They leave it all on the stage!! Go see them live you will want to see them again and again!!
Two guys making such great music is ridiculous! First saw them at Bonnaroo maybe in 2014ish. Their songwriting, musical skills, and showmanship have certainly matured.
Absolutely love this band. I've seen them every time they're within 200 miles of me. Best show all around and always
