The Black Currents

The Black Currents LIVE at the Good Hurt - April 28th @ 9pm!

Sully likes our blackface growl. We like Sully's (and Corey's and Earl's and Ryan's) joint. The time has come to break sound with friends again and so we will return to the Good Hurt on April 28th. Let's get a little sweaty and do the pagan grind the way we love to, hey? In the past they had rent parties and hellfighter rallies for purposes akin to what we will visit on that Saturday. Be there and meet Dragan, the Black Falcon. I'll see you on the stripper pole.

The Black Currents LIVE at the Good Hurt - March 30th @ 8pm!

And it came to pass that unto the town of Angeles there was delivered a man called George, and this George slayeth the lower frequencies with his mighty Rickenbacker, and bringeth his Rick among The Black Currents and they were well pleased with the notes and the groove of this man and the muses spake unto them and they were TWO WHO HAD BECOME THREE.

Come down to the mighty mighty Good Hurt on Friday the 30th for our 8pm show. George will be there. 

We really miss the stage so we can def guarantee a sweaty good time for all of our pagan friends.

The Strength Of This Young Army

I am trapped in the flow of the bookburners, who start their days rhapsodizing about their beauty (mirror, mirror...) and pull stale images from the pages of approved reading.

Universes

I fought for that parking space and tattooed gangsters clicked their guns. 

The Snow Provides Cover

A wise teacher once told me: know the feeling of power held in reserve.

Orgone - Sophisticated Honky

(This came in from the one and only DJNYC. Everyone needs a filter- when you bet on DJNYC.com, you bet to win- Agent 777)

This is such a great album of funk/soul/jazz. If you missed it's release By Ubiquity Records in '07, highly recommend checking it out. Great versions of Funky Nassau, I Get Lifted and It's What You Do.

Color by a Drunken Corsair

All time is happening at once. Which makes your watch the first thing to forget when you need to do anything meaningful. Our neighbors have all been robbed, their computers and jewelry stolen, so we encased our house in steel and light. We need another month here to finish what we came to do and then we can lob a grenade over our shoulders at our HQ and disappear into the next frame of this spy film.

Agent Mighty and I enter the blue room today to begin our first full length record.

Funny how putting it all down kind of kills something in the band. But it also sets something free.

Will you man the gun turret at my house until the scavengers come out?

Will you protect the nest while I do my best?

Agent Triple Seven

If You See My Pigmeat

Fulton Allen became Blind Boy Fuller this way. He was on the case, staring mistrust in the face and the air kissed his eyes with acid. Agent Mighty and I were in Shibuya to deliver the Accidental Pistol to Tanaka, who was a weasel for the Tokyo Yakuza.

Feral Plaid- TBC live 2/24/10

You can measure a person's wit by the quality of choices he makes when he travels back in time. Smuggle an almanac and bet on sports events to get rich? Giant plot hole, mister. Once you start betting, outcomes change and the almanac you smuggled turns into a work of fiction. Plus it's boring.

What if you seduced Mata Hari before she flashed the firing squad, or sipped ayahuasca with Richard Spruce in 1851...what if you downed martinis with Ian Fleming at Goldeneye or sat with Robert Johnson at the crossroads and met the devil?

In that spirit of adventure, The Black Currents return to The Good Hurt on Wednesday, February 24th at midnight. Our west Los Angeles home.

Get in our pocket- and bring your future self.
