The Blue Angel Lounge formed in 2006, led by singer Nils “O.” Ottensmeyer and Dennis Melster. Initially a 6 piece darkly psychedelic outfit, with their second LP “Narcotica” (8MM Musik 2010), they began subtly introducing post-punk elements to their melodic songwriting, and the intensity of Nils O’s vocal began to come to the forefront.
Strangers to the mainstream, but revered by a steadily expanding fanbase around the world, the band supported other groups on tour such as Interpol, The Dandy Warhols, The Brian Jonestown Massacr and A Place To Bury Strangers. Anton Newcombe (founder of The Brian Jonestown Massacre), a fan of the band, assisted with production of “Narcotica”. The band have been invited twice to the prestigious Austin Psych Festvial in Austin, Texas (2011 and 2012).
