The Black Market was formed in Helsinki, Finland in January 2007 by singer Mikko Rautakallio (b. 1977) and drummer Erno Ovaska (b. 1980). The guys had a very specific vision and drive towards the music they wanted to create and before they knew it, The Black Market was in the studio working on their debut e.p. The line-up was strengthened during the year by their old friend and former band mate bassist Ben Bogdanoff (b. 1978). The band was completed by Lasse Sakara (b. 1980) in May 2008, after nearly year and a half search of a lead guitarist.
The music can be described as a modern rock that combines strong melodies with dynamic playing. At the current moment the band is playing gigs and preparing to work on their debut album. The Black Market wants to be considered as a live band that gives their everything to make sure the audience gets a bit sweaty during the show.
Just checking in with you my friend and hoping you are well!
A THOUGHT FOR THE CHRISTMAS SEASON ...
“I have always thought of Christmas as a good time; a kind, forgiving, generous, pleasant time; a time when men and women seem to open their hearts freely, and so I say, God bless Christmas!”
~ Charles Dickens
MAY YOUR HEART BE FILLED WITH THE JOYOUS SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS ALL YEAR LONG!
Please stay in touch from time to time and let me know how you are!

Musta köksä on kuiskinut korvaasi jo kauan. Nyt se huutaa!
Mustan köksän esikoislevy ilmestyy pian. Nyt pitäisi valita levyn kappaleista paras ja iskevin singlekäyttöä varten. Auta meitä päättämään mikä se on. Välitä tämä viesti kavereillesikin!
Äänestä täällä www.myspace.com/mustakoksa. Palkintona arvotaan Musta köksä t-paitoja. Edessä teksti "Mustana vainosi selkäni takana" ja takana Musta Köksä-logo. Teksti tulee vanhasta Noitalinnan laulusta Musta köksä.
Oh.. Thank YOU!!! (especially for snow dance.. hihihi.. No doubts it'll help :D) I'm ok now! ;) To be honest I just can't be in a bad mood for a long time no matter what happens -- life is beautiful anyway!!!!!!!
Hmm.. and what do you think if I ask Santa to bring me When Sparks Begin to Fly for X-mas? I've been a goood gal the whole year.. hahaa (I'm soooo in love with it and it would be great to have a possibility to listen it not only from MySpace)
Well.. Have a nice day.. (no "pigs" there anymore I hope) <3
Dear friends! We are happy to see a good year go towards a good end. Again we will be playing our Christmas Show in the Moscow Megasphere - and that really makes us happy. The Moscow crowd is one of the best in the world and we would love to have you all with is. It's gonna be one hell of a rock party! Our website has undergone major updates at the moment, but it's back and we highly recomment that you pick up your free Single and DVD "Chase the Dragon" and tell us what you think. In the meantime Rozencrantz is back in the studio, working on brand new material. As always, we will keep you updated. Best regards, Horatio
