The Black Halos @ The Bluebird, Denver CO, 2000-05-23

 

I been thinking about and listening to The Black Halos a lot lately since they just dropped a brand new album called 'How The Darkness Doubled'.  It is a rousing return with Rich Jones, Billy Hopeless, and Jay Millette all back in the fold.  Check it out on all your musical avenues.  It's rocks!  Great production too.  I'm loving it.

This 2000 Denver Black Halos show at the Bluebird had them opening up for L7.  Which I posted a while back.  HERE 

They would have still been touring behind the self titled album in 2000.  The do play a few songs from the upcoming 2001 album The Violent Years.  Sound is pretty decent I think.  Billy has a lot of fun stage banter.  Enjoy.

Black Halos @ Larimer Lounge, Denver CO, 2005-03-15

 

While I'm down here mining the nuggets from this 2005 vein.  Here is a rocking show with Canadian's Black Halos.  Live at the Larimer Lounge back in March of 2005.

I saw the Black Halos a bunch over the years.  Opening for L7, on the Warped Tour one time. They seemed to always be on tour.  They put out a bunch of great albums from 1999 - 2008.  They disbanded for awhile after that.  

They recently have released a few new songs on 7 inches and supposedly are working on a new album.  Can't wait to hear it.

This was a fun show with Call Sign Cobra opening up.  There was another band on the bill too but I can't recall.  It was 16 years ago.

The sound is pretty good and they rip through a lot of originals and play there Joy Division and Heartbreakers covers.  Enjoy.
