“We Are The Black Things have been doing really great playing out in West Hollywood at Whisky A Go Go predominantly lately, and that’s ok, it could be worse. It’s the way we like it.The mere fact we established the name change at Whisky A Go Go on March 8 2018 is a celebration. We are playing new songs off our new Down In Wuhan record like Drop The Bomb, Down In Wuhan and The Chinese Virus Song. We have our new outfit up and on at at the Whisky A Go Go. Come out and see us with BulletBoys in June, Trixter in August, or Hookers N’ Blow in November, please come out to all of em,”exclaims Tone Raven.
We Are The Black Things are Tone Ravenguitar/vocals, Frank Garrett - Bass, Rae Owl Starling - Keyboard, Luthario Mitcho - Turntable, and Carrie Cane on Drums.
Movements from West Hollywood is the latest sense of what you’re getting with We Are The Black Things. X band at Whisky A Go Go and overlooked during the pandemic and scratched off their current scheduled show at the time, which was originally scheduled on April 9 2020, but was cancelled for pandemic reasons.
“Like the whole world was shut out from the live playing season, and at that time We Are The BlackThings was scheduled to play at Whisky A Go Go in April of 2020, and the show was cancelled due to Covid-19. https://www.facebook.com/ravenscrymusic
That’s where the blinders come in on the Down In Wuhan cover. The cover symbolizes the way our band felt at the time of the shut down as well as other people we loved around us, which was shut out, locked down, and fed a bunch of garbage from the Chinese Authoritarian infiltration that’s bleeding into our country, and wants to bleed our society of great generations of Americans dry etc. I was behind those blinders on our new Down In Wuhan album cover, I’m like all other sensible American God, Guns, n Family people. I saw through the lies of the lockdown rules by the far left winger fanatics and put pen to paper during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown and wrote and recorded our new We Are The Black Things Down In Wuhan record,” Expresses Tone Raven.
