BB BlackDog Biography
Crazy start to new Band, Dale met Stephan through a friend while partying in Germany, they`d been in loads of bands (porobably sold 200 thousand albums between them, Incubator, SuperKraut, DragonStar, The Happy CitiZens etc) Stefan now looking after his young girl, (single Dad,) and making amazing hand crafted Guitars for a living.
Dale selling musical Instruments to pay the Bills, and living in The Derbyshire Countryside.
One Day stefan say`s, hey It`s my birthday next week Dale, fancy coming over to Germany and we`ll have 3 days in my mates Studio, write and record a few songs with no Guitars, just 2 bass`and drums, you can play lead bass and Sing.
Well, they had a good time, stuck some songs on web sites and F**k me Loads of people liked them. No1 on MP3songs.com, myownmusic.de, and high on Bandwagon, Extraplay, britband, garageband etc. All with a dodgy mixed, fast recorded Demo made for a laugh. So BB Blackdog was born, and they booked more studio time arranged for proper website`s, Tshirt`s and all the s**t that go`s with it.
The new songs are Kicking, especially liked in Germany. The permanent addition of Giant Axel Boldt on Drums, completed the line up.
Three old Rockers, who don`t even speak the same Language, (Dales German is s**t, Stefan`s English is hardly perfect, Axels a bit better), Its a 3 piece with 2 Bass`s, But Its Works, Thank F**K FOR ROCK: Cheers For Reading.
