Here to mark the hallowed 20th anniversary of their genre-defining modern psychedelic rock classic and debut album, Passover, The Black Angels are set to bring sacred fuzz to the unholy temple of the Powerstation this June. This Texan behemoth lovingly blends the magic of The Velvet Underground with the wild minds of Syd Barrett, Roky Erickson, and Arthur Lee, all while generating a sound all their own. Not just a radical rock band, The Black Angels founded the legendary Austin psych festival Levitation, and maintain a fierce political stance within and outside of their music. It’s high time we had them back, hell yeah.
Strange Universe: Winter also features the most welcome return of retrofuturist pop heroes Stereolab, Welsh chanteuse and producer extraordinaire Cate Le Bon, and the Fragile World album release show from brooding babes The Veils, all taking the stage at the mighty Powerstation. Hollywood Avondale plays host to droll indie darlings Dry Cleaning, while Double Whammy sets the scene for Japan’s psychedelic legends Acid Mothers Temple and one of the great American singer-songwriters Cass McCombs and his band. Finally, we’re adding two new venues to our list this time around, with the bilingual bossa nova of Mei Semones at the Tuning Fork, and breathtaking Warp Records favourite Kelly Moran at the exquisite Kahui St David’s.
