With their leather jackets, messy mops of hair and stone-cold gazes, the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club looked as formidable as the Marlon Brando-led road gang from the classic film The Wild One that inspires their name.

And sure enough, Black Rebel Motorcycle tickets get you in to see an amazing tour de force, with the raucous energy of a pack of Hogs roaring through the venue. The band consists of Robert Turner, Peter Hayes and Nick Jago. Turner and Hayes met while still in high school, and shared a love for the ‘80s alt-rock genre known as dream pop. With buzzing layers of guitar fuzz turning every song into a hazy, druggy echo chamber, the music of My Bloody Valentine and the Jesus and Mary Chain held a special fascination for the budding musicians. They went their separate ways musically, joining various bands but eventually coming together with Jago to form the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club in the late 1990s.

After recording a demo, they earned some much-needed airplay on KCRW, which gave the band immense exposure and helped them develop their niche. Before long, they had a self-titled debut on the music store racks. Critics eyed B.R.M.C. as the second coming of many of the sounds those hazy sounds first popularized in the late ‘80s. That, combined with their messy garage rock look (and style), attracted plenty of fans in the indie-rock scene.

Three years after their 2000 debut, the band released a follow-up. Take Them On, On Your Own manages to build upon the edgy sound of their first record, making it more raw, more aggressive, fueled by a bitter gasoline. Weirdly enough, the band would continue to surprise fans. In 2005, they released a third record, Howl-but unlike the angry garage-punk they had been plying, they turned to a softer, more mellow, acoustic sound. There's country influences, there's blues, there's certainly folk. It was really different, but more importantly, it was really good. The shock wore off, fans bought Black Rebel Motorcycle Club tickets, and it simply was another page to add to the BRMC book.
