Spend Sunday Funday at the Rev Room at 7:30 p.m. to hear Blacktop Mojo, with The Resistance and Stony Ground. Admission is $10 in advance; $13 at the door. No one under 18.
Hailing from Palestine, Texas, Blacktop Mojo plays a blend of post-grunge, classic rock and metal and has been compared to Soundgarden and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Frontman Matt James and drummer Nathan Gillis founded the band in 2012. Bass player Matt Curtis and guitarists Ryan Keifer and Chuck Wepfer round out the band.
The band's debut album, I Am, was released in 2014, and a tour saw them playing with Bon Jovi, Sammy Hagar and many others. Another album, Burn the Ships, followed in 2017, and Blacktop Mojo is shooting for its third full-length album release later this year.
