The Black Angels - Live At Levitation

 

Limited edition colored vinyl LP

The Reverberation Appreciation Society is proud to announce the second entry of the Live at Levitation series with festival founders — The Black Angels.

Live at Levitation was recorded between 2010 and 2012, back when the festival was known as the Austin Psych Fest and The Black Angels were still in their early days as a psych-rock band. Like a memoir, Levitation tells the story of The Black Angels on the rise.

Levitation (formerly known as Austin Psych Fest) began as a simple idea in a Black Angels tour van in 2007 — let's invite all our favorite bands and all our friends, for our version of a music festival.

The first Austin Psych Fest was held in March 2008, and expanded to a 3-day event the following year. From there the festival quickly developed into an international destination for psychedelic rock fans, with lineups spanning the fringes of indie rock, from up-and-comers to vintage legends, and capped off with headlining performances from The Black Angels each year. The Black Angels and Levitation helped spark a movement, inspiring the creation of similar events across the globe and a burgeoning psych scene that would soon ignite.

"Each year we get to see our friends and music community from around the world gathered in Austin, and we've been able to share the stage with many of our music heroes. Playing at Levitation is like playing at the psychedelic Olympics, and everyone walks away with a gold medal." — Alex Maas, The Black Angels
