Psychedelic rock band The Black Angels – one of my all-time faves, by the way – are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album ‘Passover’ with a spring tour that features the band performing the record in full each night. The run includes appearances across the United States and Canada, beginning with a performance at Austin Psych Fest and continuing through major cities including New Orleans, Nashville, Atlanta, Brooklyn, Boston, Montreal and Toronto before wrapping up in Kansas City. L.A. Witch joins the tour as support across the run, with an additional Miami performance alongside Interpol also on the schedule.
First released in 2006, ‘Passover’ helped define the modern psychedelic rock revival with tracks like “Young Men Dead” and “The First Vietnamese War,” drawing inspiration from the darker textures of 1960s garage rock and the experimental spirit of bands like The Velvet Underground. The album established The Black Angels as one of the leading voices in contemporary psych rock and remains a defining record in the genre.
