One of Lighthouse Promo's premiere artists, Drop Black Sky is a sonorous mix of digitally generated rhythms and soundscapes, ambient textured layers of guitar and bass, and ethereal reverent female vocals. Their influences fall between the melodious harmonies of ancient music, the precision of electronic, downtempo and Goth/Industrial, to the intensity of hardcore.
Based in Oakland, Drop Black Sky has been performing in San Francisco clubs since 2003. The band uses a broad spectrum of sounds and instrumentation including effects laden guitars, heavy bass, self-crafted samples, field recordings, digital programming, piano, and er hu (Chinese violin). The band has had a few different singers and drummers, but the creative direction has stayed consistent.
Want to support the band and look fashionable while doing it? Buy some attire! The women's V-neck long-sleeve ($18) is very popular for its deceptively simple design and sleek cut. How many concert shirts actually make a woman's body look good...this one can! The men's ringer T-shirt ($15) is made of a tough grey fabric and features an up-close extraction of one of the screaming faces hidden in the drop black sky butterfly logo:
If you'd like a shirt, pick one up at one of the upcoming DBS shows! Or if you've got paypal and would like one shipped to you, email lisette (at) lighthousepromo (dot) net !
And it goes without saying that you can buy Drop Black Sky's CD's...just $7 each!
