Black Mountain Bridge Eras

By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) September 29, 2008 12:55 pm
There are two types of people who attend Black Mountain shows: 20-somethings who are hip to good music; and 40-somethings who heard from 20-somethings that Black Mountain are the reincarnation of the rock 'n' roll heroes they grew up admiring — Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heep and Black Sabbath. If this Opera House show was proof, there's now no doubt...

Stanley Fest Day Two

in
By Brian Pascual (CHARTattack) September 3, 2008 2:42 pm
When the original forecast of rain for day two of the Stanley Park Singing Exhibition changed to partly sunny skies, hopes for a repeat of day one's success were high. Just as The Evaporators brought high energy to the opening spot on Sunday, Seattle's Visqueen started Monday with their revved-up, sugar-coated power pop. Sounding like a less...

Black Mountain Find Clarity In Montreal

By Noah Love (CHARTattack) March 4, 2008 4:00 pm
There's nothing quite like seeing a band you love in a tiny venue. Not that I've seen Black Mountain in any huge ones (having missed that Coldplay tour), but their show at Toronto's Horseshoe Tavern in October should have been a great one. Too bad nobody told the sound guy. That performance, where the B.C. group debuted much of the material on In...

Black Mountain's In The Future

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) January 22, 2008 6:30 pm
Before 2005, Vancouver's music scene wasn't very happening. Sure there was Sarah McLachlan, Matthew Good and Nickelback, but the most famous member of its coolest band (The New Pornographers) was an American (Neko Case) and its second biggest star, nobody was sure he was from this planet (Destroyer's Dan Bejar). Here's how low things were for...

Black Mountain Bring The Future To The Present

If earplugs didn't exist, I would be deaf right now. Well, if that was the case, I'd probably have gone deaf a long time ago. But, suspending reality for a moment, if Friday night's show at the Horseshoe was the first I'd ever been to and earplugs didn't exist, then I would, in fact, be deaf right now. Thankfully, this isn't the case on either...

Black Mountain — Black Mountain

in
By Marc Boudignon (CHARTattack) January 11, 2005 8:17 am
Four of the five members of Black Mountain spend their days working at a mental care facility in Vancouver. Their moonlight gig as blues-cum-stoner rockers seems to have produced a similar calling — they’re out to heal people. Some cure with pills, others with infectious grooves. Equal parts Can, Rolling Stones and the avant-garde side of Queens...

By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) February 16, 2011 10:52 am
It's a tale of two charts this week on the campus radio Top 50 for Feb. 15, 2011. The top ten is almost a carbon copy of last week. But below that point things are in a major upheaval with a mix of new entries, re-entries and big rises and falls.First up, Braids' Native Speaker continues its chart dominance, holding onto the #1 position for a...

Black Mountain Are Classic Rock School Teachers

By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) November 1, 2010 3:31 pm
I never want to go hang out at any member of Black Mountain's homes. Sure, it'd be great to talk about movies with Matt Camirand, or play pool with Amber Webber, or share my most favourite Zach Galifinakis YouTube clips with Jeremy Schmidt, or go to a beer tasting with Joshua Wells — basically fantasize about totally movie montage best friending...

After eight weeks with the same album sitting in the #1 position, the top 50 campus chart for the week of Oct. 26, 2010 features another new #1, the third different title in three weeks to do so. This week Black Mountain's Wilderness Heart rises a place to #1, forcing last week's top album, Women's Public Strain down one place to #2. Arcade Fire's...

Video Of The Day: Black Mountain's "The Hair Song"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) September 9, 2010 2:23 pm
Black Mountain's "The Hair Song" has a laidback Zeppelin vibe, so it's only appropriate that its video features plenty of skateboarding in the summer sun. Oh, and its protagonist has long locks. And when he doesn't get in to see Black Mountain because he's underage, he manages to catch them in a better, much more awesome...

Who's Better: The Black Keys, Black Mountain Or The Black Angels?

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) August 9, 2010 4:23 pm
This seems to be a year where a lot of bands with "black" in their name released (or will release) awesome records.The Black Keys' latest, Brothers, is one example, but Sept. 14 will be an incredibly black day, since it will see the release of two wicked-cool psychedelic records, Black Mountain's Wilderness Heart and The Black...

Song Of The Day: Black Mountain's "The Hair Song"

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) August 3, 2010 3:02 pm
You know what's going to easily be the best tour this fall? Black Mountain and The Black Angels together. It's like the very best parts of psychedelic rock from the '60s and '70s mashed together on one stage with or without the drug(s) of your choice. "The Hair Song" is from Black Mountain's upcoming third album, Wilderness Heart, which is out...

Evolve Festival organizer Jonas Colter was arrested by a Mountie in Halifax last weekend and charged $4,500 for postering. The Chronicle Herald Yellowcard are releasing a new album on Hopeless Records after a two-year hiatus. They'll continue to be overshadowed by more popular emo bands that no one gives a crap about, either. Alternative...
