About Black 47
Black 47 espouses an unblinkingly political and thoroughly Irish form of rock
'n' roll, with songs covering topics from the Northern Ireland conflict to civil
rights and urban unrest in contemporary New York. Black 47 earned their chops
playing the pub scene in Manhattan and self-producing their first indie record,
Black 47, before converting The Cars' Ric Ocasek to the cause and gaining
mainstream attention with their second album. The band celebrates their 20th
year on the road with their latest album "Bankers and Gangsters"
"Usually most comfortable playing loud and live with upraised fists and
chunky guitar riffs in local hangouts - explodes with declarations of gnashing
street poetry punctuated with wailing uilleann pipes, Joe Strummer-style chord
chops and Bourbon Street sax sojourns." — Rolling Stone
