San Diego Shows–Sunday, March 22
PLAN A: Black Mountain, The Sadies @ The Casbah. As much as they reach back to the past for inspiration, I have no qualms in saying Black Mountain is one of the most enjoyable bands currently making rock music. Considering they’re only on album No. 2 and have already opened for Coldplay on a U.S. tour, I’d say they have an bright future. –Todd Kroviak
The guy who shot this isn’t exactly the next Scorsese, but you get a good idea of what you’re in for at Black Mountain tonight:
And while it’s definitely not one of their most beloved songs, “Set Us Free” has to be my favorite Black Mountain song:
