Black Dice

Black Dice, Family Collective at London Cargo, Mon 17 Mar

Black Dice

Black Dice formed in Brooklyn, New York, back in 1997. After spending time on the DFA label, the trio are currently signed to Paw Tracks.

Beginning as a purposefully noisy, thrash-fuelled outfit, Black Dive have begun to shift towards a more melodic direction of late. That said, it must be stressed that the most commercial-sounding Black Dice material is still pretty far out there.
