About Altamont Diary

Alamont Diary is the debut album by Melbourne electronica band Black Cab. Released in 2004, it is a concept album based on the ill-fated 1969 free concert at Altamont Speedway in California headlined by the Rolling Stones.. David Fricke wrote in US Rolling Stone magazine: “With bloodied-fuzz guitars, hellish electronics and sound bites from Gimme Shelter, the Australian duo Black Cab has created a riveting, album-length memorial to the fatal folly of the Rolling Stones' free concert at Altamont Speedway.”Band programmer Andrew Coates said he came up with the idea while living in San Francisco. "In a collectors' shop I found the issue of Rolling Stone magazine that came out after Altamont with a 20-page special. The album grew from there, loosely inspired by the events of a day which ended so badly, the end of the summer of love." He said San Francisco "had already got a bit shitty—the Grateful Dead had moved out of their squat and into the hills, and the Haight-Ashbury was full of street kids and harder drugs. Altamont was like putting all of them into a shitty field and beating them."Cutler, who only learned of the album in 2006—and subsequently contributed a spoken-word section to the band's follow-up, Jesus East—said: "It was such a bizarre idea that someone would make an album based about a disaster. It's like making an album about famine—not an album of pop songs designed to raise money to alleviate famine, more like an album about what it feels like to starve to death. But I loved it, especially the slightly psycho fearfulness of it. Bits of it made me feel afraid."
