Before taking the stage in New York on November 8th, tensions were high but still hopes were higher. We played as if there was no tomorrow, as we always do. When we walked off stage however, we found a country shattered and its people torn apart.

There are no adequate words right now, and even though life may appear to be going on as business as usual, beware of the normalization of this election in the days and months ahead. Right-wing movements are gaining unimagined momentum all over the globe, and we are now at the front lines.

Do not refill your prescriptions, do not tune out, do not move to Canada just yet, and don’t think it’s enough tweeting and re-posting all your thoughts/frustrations to friends and family.

This is real. We brought it on ourselves, it’s now our responsibility to oppose right-wing populist movements here and everywhere.

It’s been a very long time in the making but we’ve finally launched the new Official BRMC Website.

www.blackrebelmotorcycleclub.com

This has been a labour of love as it was well over a year ago when our original site designer David McCrindle pulled us aside and began brainstorming about how to resurrect all that was great about the original site, and also lose the bullshit. 

David has brought back to life a lot of the old features including the ‘Tour Archive’ which lets everyone upload their own personal Live Photos, Set Lists, and Reviews of every show, dating back to 1999. 

There’s also retooled Discography, Lyrics, and a giant Photo Archive, with more to come in the following weeks.

David’s somehow managed to rebuild much of the site from scratch working from his home in-between other jobs, while simultaneously having a real life baby as well… Needless to say we owe him a fairly tall drink.

Also to all the fans who already discovered it this past week when we did a ‘soft launch’, thank you for all your positive feedback. 

There are still a few new pages left to come… but for now hope you guys enjoy it.

Back in late 2015, two good friends met at a coffee shop in LA. Neither of them drank coffee but it’s important to note that they both have good hair. The one with the good hair (me) presented to the one with the better hair (Robert) that we get the brand back together and redo the official BRMC website.

And so it came to pass that Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (them) are reunited with pal and longterm collaborator, David McCrindle (me).

My vision for the site was to celebrate the history of BRMC. I didn’t want it to simply be a new album plug. Of course it will be in time, but it should also showcase the band from it’s very beginnings.

The most exciting news is that the Tour Archive is back and it’s better than ever. Unfortunately, it’s not as populated as it was back in the day. Sadly, everything from the old archive is gone so we’re starting fresh. Therefore, we’re looking for your reviews and photos.

We’ve also started a massive photo library so look for more photos in the coming weeks and months.

We hope you enjoy!

“It’s a fun to call on the old school kind of rock ’n’ roll rules and regulations.”

This has been a long time coming, and it’s cool to finally get the word out that we’re teaming up with Death From Above 1979 for a co-headlining tour across America, along with our friends in Deap Vally for a real twisted up tour. It’s gonna be a pretty full tilt rock n roll circus. And if all goes as planned we’re hoping to debut some new songs for folks live for the first time, which will be cool to share with people before the new album. At the lowest hum of that mistress drum, where the needle aches and the souls gotta shake, sugar that’s where you’re gonna wanna be. -Robert Levon Been
