2026 marks the 20th anniversary of the band’s debut album, Passover (2006), a now-classic record that helped define the 21st-century psych revival. To celebrate, The Black Angels - Alex Maas (vocals/bass), Christian Bland (guitar), Stephanie Bailey (drums), Jake Garcia (guitar), and Misti Hamrick (bass) are returning to the road to perform the album in full, along with their greatest hits.

Formed in Austin, Texas in 2004, The Black Angels have become one of the most influential bands of the modern psychedelic rock movement. Drawing inspiration from forebears such as Syd Barrett, Roky Erickson, Arthur Lee, and The Velvet Underground, the band crafts a sound that is both reverent to the genre’s roots and fiercely forward-looking, hypnotic, heavy, political, and immersive.

Beyond their own recordings, the band’s impact on the global psychedelic community is cemented by their role as founders of Austin Psych Fest, one of the world’s most important gatherings for psychedelic, experimental, and underground music.

Following albums such as Death Song (2017) and Wilderness of Mirrors (2022) on Partisan Records, The Black Angels continue to evolve while remaining unmistakably themselves: a band that channels the spirit of classic psychedelia into a dark, modern, and deeply powerful form.
