This is gonna be a big one that you don’t want to miss. This Saturday, March 8, the Black Angels present the first Austin Psych Fest. As we noted in the intro to our Sound Advice Vol II Compilation, Austin’s psych scene is experiencing a rejuvenation, in no small part due to the return of it’s pioneer, Roky Erickson. No band embodies the spirit of the 13th Floor Elevators more than the Black Angels, and they’ve gathered some friends to help, shall we say, expand your consciousness.
The lineup is hard to beat, especially for the mere $10 ticket. The space that the band has co-opted is an ideal setting, housing nearly 1000 capacity with white wall and plenty of room for projections. The Red Barn is located at 6701 Burnet Road, just north of 2222. Despite the great location, we anticipate finding our way back to be a bit more difficult.
The fest gets kicked off at 1:00pm with Cavedweller, and the Black Angels headlining at 11:00pm. Full lineup below.
