“If you leave, don’t leave now
Please don’t take my heart away
Promise me, just one more night”

Actually, the Black Black Black can promise more than one night - they can promise at least three nights in October at various venues and many nights thereafter. The Boy Gorilla-ers are back! Recently renewed by the return of a member from school in Olympia, the band is free from hiatus and setting out to make a record, but before we get there, let us look back at the Black Black Black’s catalog and a certain stand-out track.

Oh how I heart the Black Black Black boys who wear their student status at PSU on their sleeve. I also heart that this track has an intro that reminds me of Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark and you can never go wrong with that. This band isn’t offering anything remotely resembling a new-wave revival, but instead “noisy rock and roll songs on drums and guitars,” as they accurately self-describe. There is some fuzzy furry to be had in the melodic guitars and shouty vocals that swerve in an out for the very welcomed two minutes and seven seconds of “The In.”
