BRMC has released eight studio albums to date, including their latest release "Wrong Creatures" in 2018.

They have been compared to bands such as The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Black Angels, and The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
The History of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
BRMC was formed in 1998, when Peter Hayes and Robert Levon Been met each other in high school. They both shared a love for music and decided to start a band together. The band's name was inspired by Marlon Brando's motorcycle gang in the 1953 film "The Wild One".
The band's self-titled debut album was released in 2001 and featured their hit single "Whatever Happened to My Rock and Roll (Punk Song)". The song received critical acclaim and helped to establish the band's signature sound. BRMC went on to release several more successful albums over the next decade.
In 2010, the band suffered a tragic loss when Robert Levon Been's father, Michael Been (who was also the band's sound engineer), passed away while the band was on tour. The band dedicated their next album, "Specter at the Feast", to Michael Been's memory.
Ha Ha High Babe: A Closer Look at the Song
"Ha Ha High Babe" is a song from BRMC's third album, "Howl", which was released in 2005. The song features a bluesy, southern rock-inspired sound and is one of the band's most popular tracks.
The lyrics of the song are somewhat cryptic, but seem to be about a woman who is both alluring and dangerous. The chorus of the song features the lyrics "Ha Ha High Babe, We're bound for nowhere", which could be interpreted as a commentary on the futility of chasing after something that can never be obtained.
The song's music video features footage of the band performing the song in a dimly-lit room, interspersed with shots of a woman walking through the city at night. The video's dark, moody atmosphere perfectly captures the mood of the song.
Conclusion
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club is a band that has been making music for over two decades, and their sound has only become more refined over time. "Ha Ha High Babe" is just one example of the band's ability to create music that is both catchy and thought-provoking. Whether you are a longtime fan of the band or a newcomer to their music, "Ha Ha High Babe" is definitely worth a listen.
