Galvanizing modern classic rock trio THE BLACK MOODS unveiled an electrifying cover of The Doors’ 1970’s hit “Roadhouse Blues” featuring The Doors’ guitarist Robby Krieger and rock singer-songwriter Diamante last October which “infuse(d) this classic with fresh energy and gusto” (Rock & Blues Muse). THE BLACK MOODS have now shared an extended version of the track along with an extended music video featuring behind-the-scenes clips of the recording session with Krieger and Diamante at Krieger’s Los Angeles studio, Love Street Sound. Watch “Roadhouse Blues (ft. Robby Krieger of The Doors & Diamante) – Extended Version” streaming below or via YouTube HERE. The song is also available digitally across all platforms to stream/download at https://orcd.co/roadhousebluestbm.

“Playing ‘Roadhouse Blues’ with the man that wrote it was life changing,” remarks THE BLACK MOODS vocalist/guitarist JOSH KENNEDY. “It’s something I never ever thought I’d have a chance of doing having grown up in a small town in the Ozarks.”

“Lately, I seem to meet more and more young muscians who are into The Doors,” says KRIEGER. “It was really fun recording ‘Roadhouse Blues’ with The Black Moods.  They seem to connect with 60’s style music.”

“We have a big year ahead,” KENNEDY adds. “We kicked it off with ‘Roadhouse Blues (Extended Version)’ and we have a lot of touring coming up too. We have been writing new material and have a new single coming out soon that we can’t wait for our fans to hear!”

THE BLACK MOODS have relentlessly brought their raw, amplified rock & roll to stages across North America alongside acts including The Doors’ Robby Krieger, Shinedown, Jane’s Addiction, Whitesnake, Collective Soul, The Dead Daisies and The Gin Blossoms as well as appearing at festivals such as Aftershock, Luna Del Lago and Roger Clyne’s Circus Mexicus. The band finished 2023 with an opening show for Rick Springfield in their hometown of Phoenix, AZ and will perform their first show of 2024 on February 4 at Phoenix’s Celebrity Theatre with multi-platinum singer-songwriter and guitarist Orianthi. The trio will then perform a headlining show on March 9 in Chandler, AZ at SanTan Gardens which will include the relaunch of their limited-edition “Bad News” Bourbon in collaboration with SanTan Brewing.

THE BLACK MOODS released their fourth album INTO THE NIGHT in 2022 via Wit Hustle/The Orchard/Steelhorse Entertainment with Grammy Award-nominated producer Johnny “K” Karkazis (Disturbed, 3 Doors Down). The album was lauded by Metal Edge Magazine as “raw, riff-heavy, blues-drenched rock delivered with a nod to the classic acts that came before them, but filtered through a youthful, high-energy lens.” Stream/download INTO THE NIGHT at https://orcd.co/tbmintothenight.

Their previous 2020 album SUNSHINE earned the band four Top 30 singles–including their first-ever Top 20 charting hit with title track, “Sunshine,” which peaked at #16 on Billboard‘s Mainstream Rock radio charts. To date, THE BLACK MOODS have continued to receive strong hometown including multiple cover features from Entertainer! Magazine and Phoenix New Times, appearances via The Arizona Republic, AZFamily (CBS5) “Good Morning Arizona,” Arizona PBS, and even a half-time performance for the Phoenix Suns (NBA) 2022 semi-finals game. The band have also received acclaim from national rock publications including Guitar World, Classic Rock, Loudwire, American Songwriter, Paste, SPIN and many more.
