BLACK STAR BRIGADE

They Think They Can Knock Us Down

About Me

BLACK STAR BRIGADE * (was) a 4 piece, high energy punk band, with catchy hooks and sing-a-long choruses. Proclaimers of ' Texas Street Punk Rock 'N Roll ' they played a "go for the throat" style of street punk, that blended the angst of the working class with the (sometimes rowdy) commradery of your best drinking buddies. Their live shows were loud, fast and full of raw untamed energy. Their ability to play with bands of all genres and still stand alone was the key to their success, and kept touring acts wanting to share the stage with them any chance they could get. Since 2001 Black Star Brigade has been fortunate to share the stage with many great bands (in random order): Ann Beretta, the Roustabouts, Hudson Falcons, the Cutthroat Hoods, Good Riddance, Raw Power, the GC5, Student Rick, the Forgotten, Lower Class Brats, Sixer, the Distillers, Krum Bums, the Misfits, the Ritchie Whites, Roger Miret & the Disasters, Pride Kills, Pistol Grip, Complete Control, the Unseen, Born To Lose, Street Dogs, the Briggs, Far From Finished, the Casualties, 7 Seconds, the Applicators, the Donnas, Groovie Ghoulies, Youth Brigade, Blitz, Rancid, the Briefs, Damage Case, Riverboat Gamblers, the Exploited, UK Subs, Total Chaos and many, many more.... ************************************************************ ****BUY BLACK STAR BRIGADE MUSIC .
