Danny Lee Blackwell’s Night Beats project started in Texas, found its sound in Seattle, then traveled down to California. That peripatetic existence fits a band that sounds like a cowboy dropped a bunch of acid, wandered in the desert, and erupted from a cloud of dust and weed smoke to front a rock band. Think 13th Floor Elevators and fulsome guitar riffs and Sergio Leone soundtracks and, sure, a dash of R&B.
These are photos from concerts where Night Beats played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
