The Black Market Band are a four-piece band hailing from the New York City metropolitan area. Fueled by a desire to play fresh-sounding music that they themselves would listen to, with one foot in american roots music and the other in a steaming puddle of punk rock. Alt. country is the wrong word, so is rockabilly, so is psychobilly. Roots-Punk-Surf-Rock-n-roll-a-billy seems to be the first word that comes to mind, right? If you looked at their hypothetical Ipods (being that none of them have one and Matt couldn't figure out how to stuff crates of vinyl into one) you'd see an eclectic and probably very confusing mix of artists, songs and genres. It's been hard to corner the band into a specific genre and staple a label to their collective forehead, but isn't that a good thing?
The Black Market Band formed in 2005 out of a maelstrom of local NYC underground heavy hitters and have since since been dodging genres and flying beercans (the good kind of flying beercans, of course) ever since .
Seth, himself, was the Lead Guitarist for the Blind Pharaohs and toured the country playing solo acoustic sets for a time
and Bobcat the Lead Guitarist for NYC Psychobilly act, the Devil Spades.
Matt "the Knife" Goldpaugh has played for several NYC punk acts including the NY Wrecks and American Noise before picking up the upright bass with Jesse Jaymz & the Cuntry Blumpkins, a vulgar comedic country train wreck.
The Black Market Band got a few songs together for a [supposed] one-time gig and practiced once beforehand. The feeling and the response was right, and so began the long hunt for a full-time permanent drummer, and so it continued for almost a year.
Their show has become an energetic, flailing, sweaty fury which always seems to spill out into the crowd, but never do they revert to sheer antics, the antics become a second nature display of their effortless playing and a byproduct thereof. They have toured the south, the midwest, and the northeast, playing hot-rod shows, laundromats, antique stores, Heavy Rebel Weekender (a 3 day rockabilly/psychobilly/country/punk festival in NC), private parties, and even a wedding, and opening up for Rancid.
