The Black Angels - Spokane, WA (10/26/2008)

The Black Angels were force to be reckoned with on their first ever concert in Spokane. They brought their psychedelic sound to the surprisingly spacious Big Dipper. The played a healthy dose of songs from their newest album Directions to See a Ghost. They even had copies of the 3 x LP for sale. It is part of a limited pressing that has been sold out on Light in the Attic records for some time.

There set included some 13th Floor Elevators covers. Makes sense since they will be opening for Elevators frontman Roky Erickson beginning in Seattle on Oct. 28th and for four shows following.
