Saw Black Mountain at the Echoplex in L.A. last weekend, man oh man I can't recommend seeing them live highly enough!
For those not familiar with the band, they're a psychedelic rock band from Vancouver who are very reminiscent of Black Sabbath and Led Zep at times with their heavy riffs, but along with your standard solid male rock lead on vocals they also have an intense female singer who sounds somewhat like a combination of Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane and Beth Gibbons of Portishead.
Especially you northwest folk, they're playing in Bellingham and Seattle in the next few days, check them out! Tickets for the L.A. show were only $12, you really can't beat that.
Best show of '09 for me so far.

glad you like our pride and joy! they are a cool bunch of people.
p.s. - how long was bright lights at your show? ugh
p.p.s - great choice linking wucan, that song was blowing my mind a year ago. best on the album for me.
I hadn't been listening to the band that long when last weekend came, but Wucan was the one song during the show where I heard the intro and that first guitar riff and out loud said to myself "oh hellll yeah...", super happy that I was able to see that song live!
Yeah, anyone reading this who's going to see them...GET THERE EARLY for the Sadies!!! I'm not a big alt.-country guy, but these guys were incredible! The two vocalists are brothers from Toronto, one with a low vocal tone and the other with a higher voice that sang mainly harmonies. Both of these guys can play their guitars like motherfuckers, as someone who's played the guitar for 13 years they were absolutely mind-blowing to watch.

I'll keep an eye out for them. Thanks!

and I'm with you on the sadies, they are a great, great band, that plays really cool sounding music. its awesome to watch when they are on. seen them 4 or 5 times....One time was especially outstanding.
Didn't Ladyhawke open for Wintersleep last February on the West Coast?
AWESOME SHOW!
I thought so . . .
I really enjoyed Ladyhawk's set at last year's Wintersleep show. I would definitely check them out again!

Maybe it's the Wolfmother syndrome....the album is good but nothing special, yet when you see them live your perspective changes...
At least that was my feeling on Wolfmother...

really dig the new record. Sad that Amber and Josh left, but they got Rachel from Sleepy Sun in her place. I was so bummed when Rachel left Sleepy Sun. They lost a huge dynamic when she left. Stoked to see the new lineup tonight.
