BLACK PISTOL FIRE IN CONCERT:
Hard-hitting blues rock duo Black Pistol Fire has been wowing crowds and steadily building a devoted fanbase since they got started in 2010. The group scorches through their amped-up blues with a punk rock fervor in concert, doling out fuzzy guitar riffs and booming drum fills that get crowds headbanging along with their furious tunes. Guitarist/singer Kevin McKeown delivers passionate solos in between his howled verses, and drummer Eric Owen keeps their fiery jams firing on all cylinders with his energetic, intricate beats. Black Pistol Fire don't hold back during their explosive live shows, and ticket buyers will love every heart-pounding second of their sets as they tear through favorites "Hipster Shakes", "Run Rabbit Run", and "Bad Blood".
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Kevin McKeown and Eric Owen have been friends since their kindergarten days in Toronto. The two began their musical collaboration in high school playing in various bands and covering popular alternative groups like Weezer. After relocating to Austin, TX in 2010, the duo adopted the name Black Pistol Fire and switched their focus to hard rocking blues and R&B. They released a self-titled debut album in 2011 and picked up steam the following year with their sophomore LP Big Beat '59, and in 2013 they blew fans away at SXSW with a performance that led Huffington Post to label the group the "next big thing" in their festival wrap-up. After thrilling fans with the release of their third album Hush and Howl in 2014, they reached an even wider audience by touring with Wolfmother. Black Pistol Fire continue to deliver the same high-energy sound in both their rocking live shows and gripping records – including 2016's Don't Wake the Riot.
First time seeing Black Pistol Fire after discovering them on Spotify. The band was awesome! So full of energy. What a true rock and roll show. And the foundry was the perfect location. I’ll define see a show there again….hopefully BPF.
For 2 band members they have a lot of energy and the lead singer/guitarist enjoys body surfing in the crowd.
1st time seeing them in concert and for a 2 piece band they were extraordinary. The guitarist was amazing and the drummer reminded me of the Muppets drummer the way he pounded the drums. I recommend this show to anyone.
It was my first BPF concert. Actually, I have recently "discovered"them and I am so glad I was able to attend their concert in Gramercy Theatre in NYC while I was on vacation there. The best rock-punk-band at the moment and the best band to see their live show.
Fantastic performance that felt real, spontaneous and joyful, with the intent to entertain and to share that energy. One of the best shows i have seen in a whole in a small intimate venue….love this band so much
Black Pistol Fire is absolutely amazing live. The show was on another level. From start to finish, I had an absolute blast!! Don't miss them!
I saw these guys years ago open for Gary Clark Jr. and they blew him out of the water. When I noticed they were touring but not coming to my hometown I flew to Atlanta just to see them. Honestly they are the best live band playing right now and their songs are incredible. Give their music a listen and if you get a chance to see them live you should definitely check them out. You will be amazed.
Best love show I’ve ever seen live. Absolute killer show.
Where the heck did these guys come from??? Small venue, sold out, two-man band rocked that house! No upcoming shows listed, why not???
Great venue and great energy from black pistol fire. For a 2 man band, they created a whole lotta noise and were super engaging and impressive. Will deff see them again
