Penny Black were formed in the basement of a castle in Switzerland. Their desire to write energy fuelled music drove them to overthrow the oppressive local land owners and rent a train to fly to England. Upon arrival they launched themselves into writing and practicing material that they believed would serve them well. They approached local promoters and soon found themselves playing increasingly popular venues to much acclaim and applause from the local artisans. Here I will now describe to you each individual member of the band.Dean: A battle hardened warrior drummer. Aged around 40. A highly competent drum machine with the enthusiasm of a child in a sweet shop.Emily: A maiden fair with the voice of an godess Aged around 19. The vocal chords of this girl were crafted by the hands of the angels.Matt: A man of the bass.Aged around 23 A virile,strong, hunter with the nimble fingers of a third world sweat shop employee.Ben: A tall and vigorous guitarist and singer. Also aged around 23 .He has been blessed with the power of telepathy and can control the guitar with his mind. You may never see him touch it.Tommy: A pianist and a singer with the grace of a master sculpture. Aged around 21. Never before has a piano been played with such finesse and agility, his fingers live in different time zones.Who knows what the future holds for penny black. If the future is written by the past, then we fortell much good ale and a fun time had by all. If I were to recommend something to all you readers out there it is, mount your steeds and make your way to the next penny black event, bring your friends and chums, even people that you don’t really like, swell the crowds with your presence and join the penny black brigade.

Sounds Like: "A crazy, fun and upbeat mix of Blondie-esq 70's dancehall punk and funky 50's rock n roll. This band crosses genres like chickens cross roads. They have a growing reputation as one of the most danceable bands in Nottingham." SAGGY-PANTS, EAST MIDLANDS PROMOTER ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________"Pennyblack... describe themselves as an indie-ish jazz band, but really there's much more to this Nottingham five-piece than that... They've already supported the Paddingtons at their first big gig at Nottingham's Boat Club as well as recording a 5-track LP, crammed with witty, heartfelt lyrics and beautiful tunes." EXPOSED MAGAZINE ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ___________________ "Penny Black are from Nottingham a duel fronted boy/girl band playing beautiful folksey blues music about houses on hills and sunny winters days. These are a must see bundle of joy to your ears." CLUB FANDANGO ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ___________________ "We all know what kinda sound we are looking for in a new band because when we hear it we think that's what i've been looking for. Obviously this is different for everyone but this band did that for me." SAGGY-PANTS, EAST MIDLANDS PROMOTER
