They’ve played shows with the Ramones, The Damned, The Cramps, The Pretenders, The B-52’s, The Plasmatics, Oingo Boingo, and toured with The Psychedelic Furs. Their debut album is now back in print! 12 songs, newly remastered \u0026amp; re-presented with focus, this \"Definitive Edition\" brings attention back to the album's dark narrative arc \u0026amp;amp; unusual genre chemistry. Having slipped through the cracks of underground rock history, it can now stand as a missing link between cowpunk, psych revival, rockabilly, goth, post-punk, and cinematic sci-fi storytelling. Recorded in two days in August of 1984, Sundown on Venus was originally released by Enigma\/Pink Dust after the newly reconfigured band, formerly known as New Math, signed with\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e Enigma. Often placed near the cowpunk movement and loosely associated with ‘80s Paisley Underground psych revival, Jet Black Berries were never easy to categorize. They were heavier, darker, and more sonically unsettled than many of their roots-rock peers. Sundown on Venus plays like a space-western fever dream: cinematic, literate, moody, sometimes droning, but never static. The songs create a world of desert noir, dead planets, outlaw romance, and post-punk propulsion. The original 1985 Sundown on Venus release arrived with complications. Enigma wanted additional material included, so the album was packaged with a bonus 12-inch featuring extra tracks, including songs written for The Return of the Living Dead, ill-selected cover songs, and re-recordings of older New Math material. Unfortunately, those bonus tracks were folded directly into the album sequence, relegating some tracks intended for the original album’s sequence to the bonus disc. The inclusion of these non-album tracks blurred the album’s concept for its space-western saga, opting for a label-driven sales gimmick over an artistic choice at a time when the band was actively trying to move beyond its recent past.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eRIYL: The Gun Club, The Damned, The Birthday Party\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e*****(5-stars) “Here we have The Jet Black Berries' first fruit, and by Lucifer 'tis a fine harvest indeed; this is their 'psychedelic musical western about Venus' . . the evidence is all here.
