Commanding the stage with melodies, and reaching for the stars with poetry, Electric Black has listened carefully to the history of music. Out of the sentiments of Howlin Wolf, Jimmie Rodgers, and Woody Guthrie, in conjunction with the poetic license of Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Charles Bukowski, and Pablo Neruda comes the new blues-rock sound of American Gypsy Music.

Since their debut show in March 2009, the band has grabbed the attention of the Brooklyn Rail, New York Times, CNN, Brooklyn Vegan and URB Magazine. They shared the stage with Nouvelle Vague at the Fillmore (Irving Plaza), played the Brooklyn Fashion Week, recorded for FOX Fearless music, collaborated with the Chelsea Art Museum, sold out New York’s Bowery Electric and headlined the Mercury Lounge.

The brutal government crackdown in Iran after the stolen election in June 2009, caused the band and its Iranian born front-man Johnny B, to found Freedom Glory Project (www.freedomgloryproject.com) - a non-profit collaboration of Iranian-American artists dedicated to supporting the Iranian struggle for freedom. Their song of solidarity ("Freedom, Glory, Be Our Name") became an instant viral hit across all borders.

Currently the band is recording its follow up EP in the Legendary Avatar Studios along side producer Tommy Mokas.
