BOMBAY BLACK is a hard melodic rock four-piece from Little Rock, Arkansas. Instead of starting out as a club band, we spent time recording a ton of material which has resulted in our debut CD, "Mercy", on the Kivel Records label. Our style is influenced by a lot of the bands we grew up on like Mtley Crüe, Kiss, Pantera, and Ozzy Osbourne, but more in line sonically with the modern rock that can be heard on the radio. We've opened up for bands such as L.A. Guns, Firehouse, and Slaughter and have recieved favorable reviews from the media. Our live shows are as much a spectacle as we can muster, from the musicianship to the light show. Occasionally, we blow something up.
ORIGIN OF THE NAME: It's the name given to East Indian Hash as well as a color of printer's ink. We found out about the drug reference long after we found the ink in a local Office Depot. So much for being decadent!
FORMING THE BAND: It's a long, involved, and slightly confusing tale of musical inbreeding. If you've got the inner fortitude to make your way through this twisted little tale, here it is:
Ty and Jim were in "Red Light District" along with a drummer named Sharpe. Later, this trio would end up in another band called "2 Much TV". Erik was a bassist and singer with a band that had a revolving door of drummers and at one point that band auditioned Rob, but the lead singer never called him back. They'd meet again when Rob's new band "Walking Mary Jane" (formerly Dirty Minded Romeos) would open for Erik's band (including a guitarist named Bruce).
Ty would soon leave "2 Much TV" and be replaced by three other bassists, one of which was Erik. Then, Erik and Sharpe splintered off with another of the replacement guitarists (Bruce from WMJ/DMR, who had replaced the original second guitarist's replacement) to form a new band. Jim and the singer for 2MTV got in Rob to play drums and rehired the bassist that Erik replaced to round out thier act.
Hang on. It gets better.
2MTV puts out a disc and subsequently folds. Meanwhile, Sharpe, Ty, and Erik get Darrell and form "The Screaming Santas". During this time, Rob and Jim are playing in a blues/rock cover band with Ty up until the Santas put out thier first CD. He's replaced by the bassist he originally replaced (who would soon be replaced by Erik, but that's another story!)
Two years and two CD's later, The Santas go on hiatus and Sharpe and Darrell move on halfway through the production of what is to be the material for Bombay Black. Erik and Ty get Jim and Rob to fill the vacancies, and there you have it.
Told ya it was screwy!
