The Angels’ in the details

At The Gig>

Austin’s own Arc Angels rocked the Houston House of Blues (HHOB, from now on) Friday night with a steady mix of tunes of their sole album, the still-revelant 1992 self-titled offering, and covers from their favorite songwriters. The band opened the near two-hour set with the stomping ‘Paradise Cafe’. Afer a bit of a jagged start, including a bit of pedal sloppiness, the group started to groove on tracks like ‘Sent By Angels’ and a slowed, slinky version of my favorite Arc Angels tune, ‘Spanish Moon’. Check out a brief gear rundown and eye a few pics from the show after the jump!
