bonnaroo rollcall #2: The Black Angels
The Black Angels will be playing this year at Bonnaroo for the first time. I gave their 4 songs on their Myspace page a listen. I’d say this Austin, TX band is a psychedelic mix of The Velvet Underground, The Doors, and the some of their songs even sound like The Black Keys. Which is kind of amazing, since they are a six piece band and The Black Keys are only two. Anyway. I’ll probably skip them this year, though I’m sure they will have a decent draw with the jam band/psychedelic crowd. Though with The Police and Tool headlining this year we may have a different type of fan base.
As a side note, I did get word yesterday that I do have a press pass again this year, so I’m excited. I”m working on a video camera to cover the press tent and a few shows.

As usual, I’m jealous of you and you’re press pass. Maybe I can steal it this year to take a shower. I’ve always been kind of anti-shower at roo, just because it wouldn’t be Bonnaroo if you were clean, but that’s getting old. Clean is good. Someone stole my Kings of Leon cd and I’m having withdrawl, listen to it once for me.
Maybe I’ll have to send you a copy, I’d be pissed about losing music. Read your blog about your break in at Cbus, sorry to hear that.
I am excited about shooting roo again. this will be my 5th year, i’m starting to get a really great collection of music photos. i’ve had thoughts about trying to publish a book of my bonnaroo shots. this year i’m going to concentrate on music like have in the past, but also the people at the show, when I’m walking (quickly) between stages i’m going to take more time to shoot the crowd, whats going on besides the music. what bonnaroo is all about. i used to rarely go into the public camping, this year i want to try to spend some time there and try to capture the feel of the entire place. so if i see you, i’m getting your photo
