The Sunn also rises

If you examine the National Capital Rock header closer, you'll see it's a picture of a bunch of amps from the Boris/Torche/Nachmystium show at Babylon. I think the folks from Blackbread, Hellbros and Black Pussy may have plonked even more wattage into a smaller space for last week's House of Targ show.



That's a lot of Sunn amplitude. As befits a Targ show headlined by a 1970s-revering act, Yogi's own heavy crew, BlackBread, started things off.

And now, direct from the 1970s, it's Black Pussy! The Portland, Oregon crew have been making waves lately (and generating a bit of name controversy as well), but they aren't just a retro act. Like Queens Of The Stone Age they take the psychedelic and hard rock guitar sounds of the late 1960s and early 1970s and generate something new.



Organ action!
