Music - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

From Nine To Noon, 11:10 am on 20 November 2013

The trio known as Black Rebel Motorcycle Club formed in the late 1990s when high school buddies Robert Been and Peter Hayes, both from San Francisco, hooked up with British drummer Nick Jago. The band's music is heavily influenced by the droning, distorted rock of The Velvet Underground and The Jesus & Mary Chain. Jago left the group about five years ago but Been and Hayes have carried on, with their two most recent albums among the band's best. They are touring New Zealand this week, with shows in Wellington and Auckland. Tracks: 1. Love Burns (4:06) - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club taken from 2001 album, "B.R.M.C." (Virgin) 2.
