The Black Crowes are leaving the bullshit in the past. 15 years after their last album of original music, the Robinson Brothers present Happiness Bastards - their 10th studio album. Some may say the project has been several tumultuous years in the making, but we argue it's arriving at just the right time. Call it brotherly love or music destiny that brought them back together, the highly anticipated record consecrating the reunion of this legendary band just may be the thing that saves rock & roll. In a time where the art form is buried beneath the corporate sheen of its successors, The Black Crowes are biting back with the angst of words left unsaid penned on paper and electrified by guitar strings, revealing stripped, bare-boned rock & roll. No gloss, no glitter, just rhythm and blues at it's very best - gritty, loud, and in your face.
Since The Black Crowes reunited in 2019, they've made a triumphant return to form with over 150 shows spanning 20 countries worldwide, celebrating the 30th anniversary of Shake Your Money Maker, the album that put them on the map. Upon their return from the road, they knew they needed something new to show for their lost time. The Robinson Brothers and longtime bassist Sven Pipien headed to the studio with producer Jay Joyce in early 2023 and the experiences of years past transcribed themself through the music as the band found their way back to their roots. And it's finally here - Happiness Bastards is out March 15, 2024.

The Black Crowes deftly combined new and classic songs. I was so impressed with their new work that I bought the new vinyl. The venue was great as well.
I've been to more than 20 Black Crowes shows and this one is up there with the top 3 best! Them bringing out Ronnie Wood as a special guest to perform "Stay with Me"was a very nice surprise and thoroughly enjoyable, especially from such a close proximity. They also performed my #1 choice which was "Cursed Diamond", which I had never seen them do before. All that, in combination with their incredible new songs from "Happiness Bastards", made this one unforgettable show!
The Asteroid #4's psychedelic embrace at the Fox Theater in Oakland was both nostalgic and fresh, transporting us to a kaleidoscopic journey on a rainy night. They set the perfect tone with dreamy atmospheres, leading us to The Black Crowes who ignited the crowd with electrifying energy. It was a night of shared musical passion that left us craving more long after the final encore.
The Fox Theater is a great venue and it’s always fun to see Chris Robinson rockin’ out, but the sound was absolutely terrible at the show. Did the sound person fall asleep at the board? At times it felt like everything was just turned up to 11 and it was impossible to distinguish the words being sung from everything else. Fortunately enough hits were played that singing along took over for lead singing. I’m not faulting the band’s performance but am concerned about future shows I have tickets for at the Fox.
It was great to see The Black Crowes live at The Fox Theater in Oakland, CA. They played a good mix of old and new music and I danced my butt off! It did seem that the two guitarists were competing with each other which isn’t necessarily a problem but sometimes you couldn’t hear a distinct lead guitar line. Still loved the concert and very happy I got to see them.
I love a good rock n roll show and this was definitely one. Nothing but good old fashion rock n roll. And Charlie Sexton was a great surprise guest. Had a blast!
Great show. They sounded fantastic. set lost could have been better. Too many new songs and left some older great songs off the set list.
The Black Crowes brought it. Great show lots of energy! Had a blast & danced the entire show. Such a nice intimate small venue @ The Fox Theatre.
Great venue (Fox Theatre Oakland), great performance (The Black Crowes), outstanding overall experience! Would definitely recommend and do it again!
