The Black Angels Tickets

Locals, take note - The Black Angels and their visuals are absolutely stunning! What a great rock band through and through and the Fine Line was a great venue for them. I would recommend they locate themselves at First Ave next time though. More room, for more people because they will need the room...

Third time seeing the Angels in as many years, and they didn't disappoint!! No matter which album they're selecting songs from, they always bring a ferocious energy to their shows, truly a band you feel just as much as you hear! It's HIGHLY recommended that anyone even remotely curious about the band check them out, it'll be well worth your time!

These guys clearly know what they're doing by now and put on a good show. "Bad Vibrations" was awesome live. If I could do it again, I'd listen to the new album more than once before seeing them - I wasn't able to understand most of the lyrics to the songs and it all started to blur together after about 30 minutes. Also wish the sound was LOUDER. But that's just me.

They played a really great gig. I saw them twice in one week just because they where that good. I would totally see them again.

Sounded amazing and played all my favorite songs!!!

All the guys were in costume for halloween. Very cool. but sometimes it was hard to hear the lyrics. at times. But still great music none the less.. Love them boys!!! and Girl....amazing sound. Loved it,

The band from Austin, TX played their Halloween gig at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in BK, NY dressed as if they just came from a Chain Saw Massacre. The neo-psychedelic drone of their lead singer Alex Maas and guitarists Christian Bland and Nate Ryan was complimented by the powerful drumming of Stephanie Bailey. The synchronized projections behind the performers pulled you deep into the music as if subliminal mesmerism were at hand. The only criticism I have is that the lyrics were hard to discern above the music leaving the vocals sounding like another (great) instrument in the mix. A fun show and perfectly suited to the occasion.

Excellent show to see on Halloween. Black Angels never disappoint.

From the opening band to the end there was a positive energy that filled the room and a lot of reverb! This was the first time that i was to see Spindift and The Black Angels. Spindrift's feeling brings you back in time to the old west, very trippy. The hollow body & steel guitars, along with the complimenting vocals make for a broad , full sound. Dead Meadow, one of my favorites, with their original drummer put on another flawless presentation. I can't say enough about Dead Meadow. Such a great band! The Black Angels are pretty sick as well, with almost everyone playing bass to some pretty crazy lead guitars. they definitely had a jam of talent on board. MHOW is also a GREAT place for a show. From the way it is set up to the eateries local. A+

It's a day and a half later and my ears are still ringing. Last time I saw them my ears only rang for a day. Well done! They're a loud gritty bunch that all people should experience at least once!

the black angels kick ass live, see them if you get a chance to. thats all folks.

After listening to all their songs on Youtube, I thought they all sort of sounded the same. Well after listening to them live, their songs REALLY all sounded the same. On top of that, they didn't perform them as well live. Their volume was ridiculously loud. If it wasn't cranked enough, old dude kept SCREAMING INTO A MICROPHONE! Who does that? My ears rang for over 2 days afterwards. All in all I wish I would've just kept my $5.

Sick. So good. As good as the last time I saw them. Love it.

I flew in from Denver to see this show, Denver is out of the way for most tours, I was not disappointed with what I heard , However the light show could of stayed in Texas as it added nothing to the experience. Recommend Shane A Williams, Greeley Co, for a light show that would put the total experience on track, He did the show for them at the Bluebird in Denver. The only song I missed them playing , would of been in the encore " You in Color "

After ending up over 100 people back in line at The Fox Theatre, and therefor having difficulties getting to the front of the pit the night before, I decided to arrive early at The El Rey for 'The Black Angels.' I was #7 to get in there. I positioned myself front and center, able to rest my elbows on the stage so I had a great view. 'The Black Angels' were fantastic at The Fox on 5/14. They literally stole the show from 'The Kills' (another of my favorites), and did so with no sound check at that show. Two guys I met at The El Rey came early for the sound check assured me they sounded amazing warming up. This was an understatement if I ever heard one. They completely ripped it up from start to finish! There is so much diverse, accomplished playing from this 5-piece that you don't know where to look at any given time!! If you watch Stephanie hit those skins, you're going to get mesmorized and miss one of Christian's cookin' solos. Alex's singing is hypnotic as well, until he lets out one of those screams (just to break the spell for a minute). I finally decided that if I missed a screeching guitar run, not to worry. There's going to be more... and in abundance!! I haven't had so much fun dancing and rocking out in a very long time. And I told them so after the show. You're never going to meet a nicer bunch of people. Something I learned from their head roadie: In Berlin recently, at the end of the show, the crowd refused to leave the building after encores and kept chanting "New Velvets, new velvets!" They are absolutely huge in Europe! In response to this, I have to say that I have been a 'Velvet Underground' fan for 35+ years. It's not difficult to mention 'The Black Angels' in the same sentence as The VU!! The Black Angels wear their influences so very well. I asked Alex when they might be coming back this way and his reply was, "I'm not sure. I think after this tour I want to take some time off to write another album..." I mention this only because if you're lucky enough to have the opportunity to see them, don't miss it. It might be a little while before they tour again. Their tour manager rides a long-board skateboard, which I was admiring. I've been wanting to trade in my standard board for a long-board for some time. He said "Yeah man, I'm getting too old to be eating it on a short-board. I'm 35 now!!" I guess that makes me ancient! That's me, an ancient Rock and Roll rebel. Oh well. No worries. I think I'm going to make a point of flying down to Austin, TX (home of TBA) for their big Psych Festival next year. I gotta see 'em play in their home town. Anyone game for that??!!

The El Rey Theatre is a great place to see a band (you can actually see them,instead of on a big screen !!!) I'm always excited when my favorite bands play there. Even tho I'd love them to gain a huge fan base, I hate when they do, and end up at the Nokia or other similarly large venues. I also saw The Black Angels the following night, at the Belly Up in Solana Beach (another great venue to see bands up close) The band did not disappoint ........... two nights in a row !!!!

Sleepy Sun was amazing. They have quite the range, bluesy harmonica, psychedelic rock a la Black Sabbath, and hard charging rhythms reminding me of Led Zepplin. Would love to see them headline. Black Angels were good too, though after a couple songs the volume levels were way to loud at El Rey.

definitely awesome performers. i had a wonderful time!

Awesome show, opening bands didn't suck like some of the reviews say. These guys really kick ass and boasting a hot female drummer never hurts! Could have used a little more mic for the vocals but who the hell cares about vocals when there is face-melting rock. Go see them now, before they blow up and you have to see them at a big venue with actual seating.

A great show overall with TBA playing many of their hits and a fair dose of their latest release. Their live performance does not disappoint and they played for the right amount of time.
