E-Rok and Blacklight

About Me

Erik "E-Rok" Richards (Vox, Guitar, Bass, Juno, Loops) and Rob Boyle (Vox, Percussion, Synth) have been developing and playing together since high school. After the sudden passing of E-Rok's friend and band mate, Alan Black of 3bone, the guys decided to set up a tribute to Alan's amazing life and music. Blacklight was born at the Alan Black Tribute Concert at the Ventura Theatre on Dec. 28 2002. Since the Tribute Concert, Blacklight has been creating a diverse collection of songs. An acoustic album titled "Songs You Can Play and Sing To" was released in 2005 and is available at itunes and other stores (links @ somissound.com).
