The Black Angels Will Headline The 4Knots Music Festival; Davila 666 And Oberhofer Are Also On The Bill

The first annual 4Knots Music Festival is approaching pretty quickly–July 16, South Street Seaport, in case you haven’t yet marked your calendar–and today, we’re announcing three bands playing the show. Headlining the day will be the Austin psych-sludgers The Black Angels; the Puerto Rico spazz-punk band Davila 666 and transplanted NY bedroom-pop act Oberhofer will be on the bill as well. More bands and DJs will be announced as the weeks tick by, but for now, get familiar with a few videos after the jump.

The Black Angels, “Haunting At 1300 McKinley”

Davila 666, “Patitas”

Oberhofer, “Away FRM U”

4Knots is also on Facebook and Twitter.
