Heavy psych rockers the Black Angels have waged a one-band campaign to export Austin weirdness to the world since 2004. The excellent, just-released Death Song LP adds a bit of West Coast sheen to the fuzz guitars and dark subject matter courtesy of producer Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, the Shins). Combined with the band's name it also completes the VU song title which inspired the moniker in the first place. With A Place to Bury Strangers.

$24 ($20 adv.). Doors 8 pm.

press release: The Black Angels – Austin’s psych rock masters – have unleashed their latest album, Death Song. This is the five-piece’s first full-length release in four years, and their debut for Partisan Records. Scorching opening track “Currency” is streaming now via NPR Music’s All Songs Considered, who called it “a dark and gritty new cut about greed and corruption.”
