Black Mekon: Album Launch

BLACK MEKON
13 Songs About Monsters
ALBUM LAUNCH PARTY

Celebrate the release of BLACK MEKON’s new LP ’13 Songs About Monsters’ (on PNKSLM Recordings)by attending the ONLY monster-bashing mash you will need this year!

BLACK MEKON will play the fuzz-glam-garage-punk songs from their new album, urging that we watch out for zombies and wipe out all monsters! Not good monsters, like Frankensteins, bad monsters like... well, you know, they’re everywhere! We can do it by coming together on 30th October at The Hare and Hounds and dancing like escaped mental patients.

Read the room... beware the moon! (There’s a gift for every ghoul in a costume!) with support from:

FUZZ COUNCIL One of our favourite band of upstart Brummies, awesome garagepsych with harmonies and melodies and licks and fuzzzzz. https://www.instagram.com/fuzzcouncil/

B.B. KAIZOB. B. Kaizo is a man-machine hybrid from an apocalyptic future. Amix of blues guitar and electronic beats creates "wasteland rhythm& blues" for you to shake it AND get a little melancholic.

“A tightly-fuzzed glam-beat, drag race that sounds like someone has filtered Marc Bolan through a gravel pit.” - Paul F Cook, Joyzine

"Black Mekon make blaring, sludgy garage bashers, smartly, they know to curb their near-nihilistic side with cooing vocals." - Evan Minsker, Pitchfork

“Black Mekon’s rock‘n’roll is a brutal twist, they’re industrial blues blasphemy, with distorted harmonica beatboxing, convulsive yelps and a guitar tone that sounds as if it’s emanating from a poorly tuned pirate radio station. They’re a curveball to music in general.” - Guy Hirst, BrumNotes

“Black Mekon are superheroes, when they put on the mask amazing and opposing things are made possible.” - Jared Dix, Echoes and Dust
