The Black Angels

2026 marks the 20th anniversary of the band’s debut album,Passover(2006), a now-classicrecord that helped define the 21st-century psych revival. To celebrate, The Black Angels-AlexMaas (vocals/bass), Christian Bland (guitar), Stephanie Bailey (drums), Jake Garcia (guitar),and Misti Hamrick (bass) are returning to the road to perform the album in full, along with theirgreatest hits.Formed in Austin, Texas in 2004, The Black Angels have become one of the most influentialbands of the modern psychedelic rock movement. Drawing inspiration from forebears such asSyd Barrett, Roky Erickson, Arthur Lee, and The Velvet Underground, the band crafts a soundthat is both reverent to the genre’s roots and fiercely forward-looking, hypnotic, heavy, political,and immersive.Beyond their own recordings, the band’s impact on the global psychedelic community iscemented by their role as founders of Austin Psych Fest, one of the world’s most importantgatherings for psychedelic, experimental, and underground music.Following albums such asDeath Song(2017) andWilderness of Mirrors(2022) on PartisanRecords, The Black Angels continue to evolve while remaining unmistakably themselves: aband that channels the spirit of classic psychedelia into a dark, modern, and deeply powerful form.
