There Is Much Win In New Blackout Promo Pic

Babe + Beards = BLACKOUT

I will experience a Blackout in Brooklyn for the first time tonight (alongside Weedeater, Polygamist, and Godmaker), and the band is really whetting my appetite with such a baddass photo.  What makes it so baddass, you ask?

Well, in this picture (and band) you’ve got:

• a big-boob’d rifle-wielding babe in an American flag bikini top & heels
• a shirtless skipper hat’d epic-ly beard’d dude exhaling smoke from either a cigarillio or a blunt (I’m guessing the latter)
• a seated sunglass’d psychedelically shirt’d kemptly beard’d dude with a prosthetic leg drinking an unidentified large cup’d beverage

The shot takes place in some kind of brick wall’d green cabinet’d red ladder’d wooden floor’d abode, and the standing guy and girl each have a hand on seated dude’s shoulders.  All of this adds up to a simple yet AWESOME down-home band photo as far as I’m concerned.

BONUS/MOST IMPORTANT PART: the band’s MUSIC is pretty sweet too, phew!  Check out a few sludgy/doomy psych-laden Melvins-y tracks on Blackout’s Bandcamp page.

And if you’re in the New York area, please join me at the show!
