Hadn’t heard much from Blacklist since I caught the NYC quartet’s fairly gripping set at SXSW – until this past week, when the band’s West Coast debut was announced. The foursome’s revivalist post-punk will make you want to bust out your black; it’s urgent and shadowy and Goth to the core. I had overlooked (shame on me) the release of their debut album “Midnight of the Century” this summer, but now I an catch up: The band will be visiting L.A. as part of Wierd Festival 2009, a three-night event staged by Brooklyn-based Wierd Records and Club Killing Spree, who will host Thursday’s kickoff party at the Meduca Lounge on Beverly Boulevard.
