Artist:Christian Bland & The Revelators
Song:Brian Wilson
Album:The Unseen Green Obscene
Christian Bland is the guitarist for the popular neo psychedelic band The Black Angels. He leads The Revelators when The Black Angels are off the road. They don't stray far from neo psychedelia so I think Black Angels fans will enjoy the music. Bland is from Austin, TX which has always been a breeding ground for psychedelic music going back to 60s bands like The 13th Floor Elevators. Plus Bland says his major influence is Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett. Bland attended Florida State University on a track scholarship. He was a high jumper. After Bland injured his knee, he looked seriously into music. He is a founding member of The Black Angels and they have been recording and touring since 2004. When The Black Angels are off the road, Bland is involved in the Austin based The Reverberation Appreciation Society. They produce the Levitation music festivals. When they started a record label in 2010, Bland formed The Revelators and released the first album on the label. The other band members are Chris Catalena on vocals and guitar and Bob Mustachio on drums. Mustachio does multimedia for The Black Angels but he is not a member of the band. Brian Wilson is from the 2014 album The Unseen Green Obscene. It's obviously s tribute and Catalena tries to sound like Wilson. This is available as a budget CD. This is the most recent of the band's three albums. They have released a couple of singles and played a few gigs last year. The Black Angels released a new album and are on tour. I'm sure Bland will reform The Revelators after they finish touring. Here's the video for Brian Wilson by Christian Bland & The Revelators.
