If you listen to this video without watching it, you may get confused. You may think you've inadvertently stepped into a time machine and exited into the late 1960's, when guitar lines were in no rush, singers moaned like Jim Morrison, and no one minded if you gave a full-volume concert from the roof of a building. (That didn't go over so well in Across the Universe.)
Seriously, moments of this feel like the Doors Revisited. But that's likely what they're going for: The psychedelic rock band hails from Austin, Texas, but their laid-back, long-tone jams would make just as much sense coming out of a boombox in Venice Beach.
The Black Angels played Lolla in 2007, a year after the release of their first LP Passover. Since then they've cut three more records and gained experience playing at SXSW and on tour with a handful of color companions, like the Black Keys and the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, as well as Queens of the Stone Age, the Raveonettes, and others.
If you're looking for a trip (or a trip) back in time, I suggest checking out the Black Angels on Friday of Lolla.
