Black Angels To Expand Psych Fest To Three Days

By Austin Sound • Jan 27th, 2009 • Category: News •

Last year, the Black Angels revived the Spirit of the Vulcan Gas Company and Austin’s Sixties psychedelic past with their Psych Fest held out the Red Barn on Burnet. It was one hell of an event, and we’ve been looking forward to a second installment ever since! Well, word has finally leaked out that this year’s Psych Fest will be a whopping 3 day event, to be held just before SXSW on March 13-15. With so many great bands coming to town for our annual indie bludgeoning, we expect this to be an amazing weekend and just hope we survive to make it to SXSW! The lineup and more details will be coming soon, but we’re hoping that given their recent tour backing Roky Erickson and project to record some his material, that the 13th Floor Elevator himself might be unleashing his unholy growl on the scene. We’ll keep you posted.
