Step 2. Have the title revolve around the word "black"...and do it quick because the options left--they are few.
Black MountainGenre: Rock, Revival
Synopsis: Canadian late 60s/early 70s rock revivalists Stephen McBean, Amber Webber, Matt Camirand, Jeremy Schmidt, and Joshua Wells pump out Led Zep-esque power chords, yet still maintain their own sense of self to avoid impersonating territory. On their newest release In The Future, Webber's vocals fortunately get more emphasis and give this garage rock some depth with a haunting backdrop. On a sidenote: when my best friend Alex discovered Black Mountain, she send me a text that went a little something like this: "Oh my god, Have you listened to Black Mountain? Talk about sex music!" If that doesn't get you to buy the album, I don't know what will...
Black LipsGenre: self described "flower-punk"
Synopsis: They gained notoriety last year by playing 12 SXSW shows in a three day period and were then coined as "The Hardest Working Band" in 2007 by The New York Times.
*stand back twenty feet coachella goers-their stage antics involve chickens, vomiting, nudity, and urinating in mouths.
Black KidsGenre: Pop, Rock
Synopsis: Based out of Jacksonville, Florida, these indie popsters made a name for themselves solely from their live performances well before record labels and tour schedules came knocking. In November they were listed as one of Rolling Stone's Artists to Watch and their debut album Wizard of Ahhhs is short, sweet, and stuffed back to back with catchy pop singles.
