Black Mountain -- Druganaut

  I remember the first time I heard this band, my friends and I were on our way to a drunken barn dance, I'm serious, we saw fireworks once we hit the lane way ... anyway my buddy popped in Black Mountain for the ride, my god that was a wild night, I never danced in a circle none stop for so long and I heard this band for the first time ... point is these guys re-cooled Sludgy stoner rock, mixing the best elements of the 70's heyday with the 90's latter day, like a Led Zeppelin meets Dinosaur Jr.  This little EP only features two numbers, Druganaut and Buffalo Swan, but clocks in at over fifteen minutes, and you know what, it's my Aunt who bought me this record for Christmas one year, what a killer gift!  Thanks Ro, it's still awesome!
