About

BLACK PISTOL FIRE IN CONCERT:

Hard-hitting blues rock duo Black Pistol Fire has been wowing crowds and steadily building a devoted fanbase since they got started in 2010. The group scorches through their amped-up blues with a punk rock fervor in concert, doling out fuzzy guitar riffs and booming drum fills that get crowds headbanging along with their furious tunes. Guitarist/singer Kevin McKeown delivers passionate solos in between his howled verses, and drummer Eric Owen keeps their fiery jams firing on all cylinders with his energetic, intricate beats. Black Pistol Fire don't hold back during their explosive live shows, and ticket buyers will love every heart-pounding second of their sets as they tear through favorites "Hipster Shakes", "Run Rabbit Run", and "Bad Blood".

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Kevin McKeown and Eric Owen have been friends since their kindergarten days in Toronto. The two began their musical collaboration in high school playing in various bands and covering popular alternative groups like Weezer. After relocating to Austin, TX in 2010, the duo adopted the name Black Pistol Fire and switched their focus to hard rocking blues and R&B. They released a self-titled debut album in 2011 and picked up steam the following year with their sophomore LP Big Beat '59, and in 2013 they blew fans away at SXSW with a performance that led Huffington Post to label the group the "next big thing" in their festival wrap-up. After thrilling fans with the release of their third album Hush and Howl in 2014, they reached an even wider audience by touring with Wolfmother. Black Pistol Fire continue to deliver the same high-energy sound in both their rocking live shows and gripping records – including 2016's Don't Wake the Riot.

    Best concert I’ve ever seen in my life

    by Pistolero on 2022-05-15

    Title says it all. I saw Black Pistol Fire for the first time when they opened for The Glorious Sons in Toronto just before the lockdowns and they absolutely blew me away. In London they did it again tenfold. I’ve never in my life seen a band with higher energy or stronger musicianship and I will go out of my way to catch their shows whenever I can just so I can hear the songs I already listen to on repeat with face-melting guitar solos thrown into the mix

    Great concert, poor fanbase

    by B on 2022-05-14

    Loved the energy of their performance, super talented duo. Wasn’t a huge fan of the crowd/fanbase, aggressive and disrespectful crowd.

    Awesome Energy

    by Li on 2019-07-16Commodore Ballroom - Vancouver

    This is definitely in my top 5! Great band in a great venue. The sound was awesome, the crowd was into it and BPF has amazing energy. I loved every minute. The slam dancing was a little much but no suggestions on how to deal with that one.

    Drummer is jacked Blake.

    by LayLay on 2019-07-05Commodore Ballroom - Vancouver

    Absolutely killer. 100% would recommend. These guys rock! And the drummer looks like a jacked Blake from Workaholics.

    BPF = a “wear your heart on your sleeve” show

    by Hank on 2019-07-02Commodore Ballroom - Vancouver

    First, the opening act was not to my liking and seemed like an odd match. Like an 80’s throwback without energy. All that changed when BPF hit the stage. Energetic driving guitar and drums with well crafted songs. Great show, my fourth. To the credit of the band and the Commodore, after the encore the lights and house music came on and most of the crowd remained cheering. Just when I thought it was over, the band came back on and the second encore was amazing.....

    Black Pistol Fire is a hidden jem!

    by Gerosavas on 2018-06-19London Music Hall - LONDON

    Kevin and Eric bring an electrifying performance, redoubtably one of the best I have seen in awhile. Wasn’t sure what to expect. I am an avid NIN fan and someone recommended I see this band. I started listening to them about 3 weeks ago and after seeing them I won’t miss another show that comes to Toronto/London/Hamilton area. These guys rock!

    by CRMurphy on 2018-04-18The Gorge - George

    Saw these guys back at Sasquatch in 2015. Such an amazing show with great energy. They knocked it out of the park! Excited to see these guys again at Skookum and again in Calgary for a full set! One of my favorites to listen to!

    by harmonix on 2017-06-14Danforth Music Hall - Toronto

    One of THE BEST live acts I've seen!! These guys can rock. They play with so much energy, you can't help but get in the groove. Check them out if you ever have the chance, you will NOT be disappointed!! A mix of White Stripes/Black Keys.
