    S.F. psych rockers Howlin Rain, featuring Comets on Fire co-founder and lead singer Ethan Miller and Drunk Horse's Joel Robinow, will be joining The Black Crowes for the West Coast and East Coast legs of their fall 2008 tour. Favorites on the summer festival circuit here and abroad (Bonnaroo and upcoming gigs at SF's Outside Lands Fest w/Radiohead on 8/22 and Seattle's Bumbershoot Fest on 8/31), Howlin Rain embrace and expand on the cosmic musical legacy of their Bay Area blues-driven home base. The band's Birdman/ American debut, Magnificent Fiend, is freeform, organic and transcendent, with songs that roll from the speakers like a half-waking vision made of dreams and nightmares, ignited and guided by the power of the band and the velvet roar of Miller's vocals.

    Road-tested on tour with Queens of the Stone Age and fellow tripper outfit Black Mountain, Howlin Rain's laid-back grooves and soulful breakdowns build to explode into anthemic choruses with mind-melding guitar riffs and soaring, string-bending solos. Miller is a passionate, possessed frontman and the band's intuitive playing and synched-in musicianship is a heady shot of pure, timeless rock and roll.
