    shybox:how do you feel about boot versions of unreleased new songs being played on college radio? I have not done so; new to this and looking for a yay or nay.


    Good question shybox...I've been posting the show from March all over the internets. All I've heard is good stuff about the new material, and people asking for more.

    the new album comes out at the end of August, then we'll be heading out on tour around the US. I'd say we'll be out west by late september.

    Are there any plans to release Phosphene Dream earlier than August Digitally, like what was done w/ Directions? (like w/ a pre-order for example)

    Also, any plans to release the stuff recorded this past fall w/ CB & The Revelators? (just got the Lost Album, and it's awesome. Need more!!)

    I would like to play some Black Angels side projects on my radio show, but want to get the okay from you first. I am looking at playing:

    CBATR - Candy Land
    Ghost Songs - Do Run (one of my favorite songs at the moment)
    The Shine brothers - Death's Door
    Viet Minh - Haunting @ 1300

    I got some positive feedback on the two live TBA songs from this past Monday.

    Shybox, I think you're good to play whatever you want on the radio based on Christian's comment above. My bro in Iowa has been spinning some of the new stuff too

    Can you tell me about when you were writing the song "The Return". I have been trying to work on lyrics for some songs I'm writing, and "the return" has inspired me a lot. The lyrics are great and there is a strong message behind them. I was just curious if you could give me any thoughts about when you were making this song and what inspired you to write it.

    The song's inspired by my childhood. My Dad's a preacher, so I grew up going to church weekly. The idea that Jesus can come back at any time's ingrained in my psyche.
    The song's about having to always been on guard because you never know when he'll return. I grew up singing so many church hymns that I think that comes through a bit in this song as well.

    Great question Blankbox, and thanks for the reply. Another son of a preacher man, eh. Although my experiences pales in comparison to many that I have heard and know about these days.

    Awesome, thanks for the response. That is scary thing to have inbred into you brain at such a young age. My father wasn't a preacher but my mom had me going to church every sunday also. I can hear the church hymns coming through in the song now that you mention it.

    Sounds good, man. Thanks for the response. Also, Bad Vibrations is great, that main guitar line is delightfully 13th Floor Elevators-esque.

    To the fellow that asked the drug related question...

    I think it's probably too personal of a question to ask in this forum. But I'm also curious. I'd kind of like to know what the band dabbles in. Reefer is a given but I wonder if they still trip or what. A lot of folks seem to say "oh I used to do all that shit back in the day but now I just toke herb". That seems to be a popular answer/progression.

    The music is what's important here, no doubt. But we are talking about the psych scene so I think it is valid to ask about drugs. Just don't expect an answer... heh.

    Question for the Angels-

    Can you suggest a low watt tube combo amp for a 60's psych/garage sound? (guitar amp) I love your sound and taste in gear, and would appreciate any advice you can offer. Tremolo and or reverb would be nice, and it needs to be 20w or less because I want to be able to crank it up for some sweet disgusting overdrive. Think Neil Young trashy tones... thanks.

    Can't wait to see yo uin Chicago again. It's been too long.

    Dear Angels,

    I don't know how you feel about your music being in a video game, but the popular Call of Duty series has a new installment coming out in November 2010 and it's set in the Vietnam war. It would be great if they'd use some of your music (especially from Passover or maybe even Directions). Just a thought. I'm guessing they would have to approach you rather than vice versa, but whatever. Just throwing that out there.

    Would you be interested in something like this if the oppurtunity presented itself?

    to me it seems like a perfect match. This new game is called "Call of Duty: Black Ops", and as I mentioned it's set in Vietnam during the Vietnam war supposedly. This is THEE most popular video series out there so it would be a great way to get your music into people's ears. Plus it fits so perfectly with the vibe from Passover and even some of the tunes from Direction.s

    Yeah, as Sonic Boom said its a shame a lot of bands dont discuss what drugs inspire them.

    I think the problem with bands endorsing/discussing drugs is that you'll always have that one guy who takes shit too far and ends up dying or hurting/killing someone and then the band may have to deal with the aftermath, or at the very least have it on their conscience. Drugs are different for everyone. Drugs don't usually kill people, it's just that some people abuse drugs to the point of death. Some people have fucked up personalities and can't handle their shit. Some people just like to see how fucked up they can get, instead of recreational use in search of higher truth/experience/etc.

    Some things work for some, other things work for others. Find the drugs you enjoy and enjoy them responsibly. Everything in moderation.
