Biography
Transcontinental punks The Blacks are a dark and dancy San Francisco/New York three-piece known for their short, blistering stage shows and laser-beam intensity. With a stripped down instrumentation featuring guitar (Luisa Black), drums (Gavin Black) and wild-eyed tambourine player JDK Blacker, The Blacks serve up a hot, electric, garage noir sound that mixes the rawness of The Jesus and Mary Chain and The Stooges with the vocal elegance of Romeo Void. Their debut full-length "Nom de Guerre" (2007) was released on Tricycle Records. A new single, Gravitas, from the EP "Tiger Songs" was released on RCRD LBL in September 2008.
