Details:
This story is one of hard work, compassion and perseverance. Singer-songwriter Dave Black (Liquid Logic; Driver; My Favorite Sex) delivers his most personal work to date with the highly anticipated, newly formed project, "Year of the White Buffalo." His songs inspire and provoke and leave the listener thinking about how this old soul lives in a present day body - wise beyond his years.
Seeing potential at an early age for his uncanny ear for music and the passion to pursue it, his Grandfather bought him all of his first instruments. He spent countless hours in his room honing his skills and learning his craft - this would shape his life.
Eventually opportunity rose while attending his first year of college. Black quit school to join a band back in New York City with a few seasoned musicians who were a bit older than him. Now playing bass for "My Favorite Sex," Black started to experience the NYC music scene. "My Favorite Sex" had a strong underground following with a sound ahead of its time. Though never signed to a major label, the band never had a problem filling venues to capacity. This band later became the newly released sensation, "Joy Zipper," which Black still plays with from time to time.
Frustrated with the lack of risk labels would, or in this case, would not invest in, Black started to search for other opportunities. Approached by the singer and guitar player of what would soon become buzz band "Liquid Logic," was just what Black had in mind. Within this band, they would collectively write and record their creative genius, building a sound that was both eclectic and psychedelic with a hard rock influence. "Liquid Logic" signed a record deal and immediately started to tour around the country opening up for name acts on huge stages. After several years together, the members of "LL" started to take on a variety of projects in recording, writing and producing and found themselves wrapped up and enjoying other aspects of the business, paving the way for each to experiment with other ventures.
Black thought he had found a glimpse of hope with a band called "Driver," which was promised the world from the majors, but once again delivered nothing. He left "Driver" with life staring him in the face, asking him, "What now?" As Black says, "It''s like I keep walking into the same fight and getting the shit beat out of me." "I felt it was time to throw it all to the wall and for the world to hear my solo stuff with ''Year of the White Buffalo,'' where I have full creative control, I have the say on where, when and how I want to put the record out - it''s my success, but it''s also my failure. It''s out there. I''m out there. Naked. For the world to judge. And I just feel like I''m at a point in my life where I''m ready, because honestly, after pouring your heart and soul for music my entire life, it''s my turn. And if someone doesn''t like it, well, fuck ''em. And if they do, cool."
And so the story goes, Dave Black went into the studio and recorded a masterpiece. "Year of the White Buffalo" brings out his innermost struggles with life, as heard in such songs as, "Window Song," a zen tragedy where in the end nothing matters, and "Fall To The Gun," about resisting excess and psychological break down. The results, a self-exposing look inside the soul of a singer-songwriter hell bent on simply creating sound.
