Get Down with Black Acid at SXSW featuring Richard Fearless LIVE & DJ set

“A terrifying Charlie Kaufman-scripted trip” – Guardian UK

“You’ve been warned against the brown acid time and again, but the Black Acid? Gobble that one down and, brother, you’ve got yourself a real trip on your hands. Black Acid may not be an ingestible commodity, but boy oh boy is it a potent mixture indeed.”
- Pitchfork

Richard Fearless of Death In Vegas returns with his new band BLACK ACID. The New York based band are influenced by the likes of The Stooges, Roky Erickson and Hawkwind, don’t come looking for sympathetic pop songs in this debut release. Fearless takes the dark soulful psychedelic rock of Death In Vegas and brings a whole new twist with BLACK ACID.

Richard Fearless
