Band To Watch: The Black Angels

5:41 PM EST on November 8, 2005

Fans of BJM and Secret Machines will dig the Black Angels, a band who's dubbed its primitive psych-rock "Native American Drone 'N' Roll." The bassist was born on a cult compound and the organist grew up in a mortuary. That creepiness informs their stoner metal sound (dig the otherwordly "Manipulation" on MySpace). Black Angels play Boston's Middle East Upstairs tonight and Brooklyn's Southpaw tomorrow. If you go (good way to celebrate Native American Heritage Month) let us know what you think.
