Robert Been of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
This is your first full tour in the United States in a while! What about this tour are you most excited for?
The timing of it. We’ve been working in the studio writing new songs and so we’ll be able to finally play some new songs for fans live before the album comes out. That’s always fun playing things live before people have heard the record.
Your tourmates this time around are Death from Above. Have you gotten to see them live before?
Leah has, she lived in NYC for a while right before joining BRMC and she was a fan, got to see them over there. I dig their records but somehow we never were in the same city at the same time playing shows, so we missed out.
If you could collaborate with Death from Above on any song live onstage (yours, theirs, or a cover), what would it be?
Ha, we were talking about doing something together live possibly, but I can’t let the cat out of the baggy.
Say you’re on the road, and you have a few fast food options coming up… which drive-thru do you pull through, and what do you order?
Pete probably needs his Starbucks. I need the tastiest burgers. And Leah always just wants to get out of there fast, and to the gig more than anything.
Tell us about the first concert you ever went to.
I traveled around with my dad’s band The Call when I was just a kid, so I remember them touring with Peter Gabriel on the Shock the Monkey tour. That was fun, I remember liking Peter’s face all painted up like a monkey. I was really into monkeys back then.
Who are you excited to see in the crowd this year, either while on tour, at a festival, or during your off time?
There are a lot actually, over the years we’ve had some of the most diehard fans in the states that travel from show to show with us. Sometimes you even forget that they aren’t officially on the tour working or something because they are usually more punctual and reliable than our own crew even. But they’re always good to see once we start up again. Some of them move on over the years and like have a baby or something and then don’t travel as hardcore, but most will still come out at least in their hometown and catch up.

Night Beats “VULTURES” ft. Robert Levon Been
Looks like we can listen to the new Night Beats track “Vultures” that Robert Levon Been performed on:
Hey folks, so back when Leah was getting her new brain installed, I met up with the band the Night Beats and helped co-produce and perform on their upcoming album ‘Who Sold My Generation’ (along with Nick Jodoin at home studio in Echo Park).
I just got word though that the first single ‘No Cops’ is being released as 7 inch vinyl, along with the b-side ‘Vultures’ which we co-wrote together just for some late night fun.
Anyway it’s about as weird as weird gets without adult supervision.
hope you enjoy-From
Robert Levon Been‘VULTURES’
It’s not the same, not the same, not the same old sound yeah
You used to ignore but you had to get closer yeah
I know there’s something in the soul of a vulture see,
Inside the glove is the hand that will hold you
Whisper words as you’re close to another
Raise your voice stand at your altarIt’s not the song that stops,
It’s just the devil’s watch, hypnotized by the side of a mountain
Blinded by the walls on the side of the story, burnin’ in your eyes with a neon gloryIt’s not the same not the same not the same old way yeah
You used to ignore but you moved from the summer yeah
I know there’s something in the soul of a vulture’s mouth
Inside the glove is the hand that’ll take you outYou have been sold and bought,
lost in a chinese market in the year of the cock with a rodent
wishin’ to the stars when you’re down on the bottom,
even when you’re good you just think your rotten,
swearin’ to your cause, I don’t think you’re a martyr,
even for a God I don’t think you’d applaudI know it’s right I know its cold, I know its closer to you
I know it’s right I know its cold, I know its closer to you my love, and I’d hate for you, to turn me around -
