live: BLACK BONZO (Rock - SWE)
In the begining of 2004 Black Bonzo started to record the debut album at the classic analog studio Rumble Road Studios, in Skellefteå. In late march the recording, mixing and mastering was finished and in July the record was released. Black Bonzo was born.
The album got good response from all over the world, and sold out the first pressing, within a couple of month, here in Sweden. Ward Records from Japan soon showed interest in the band and signed a licensing deal with B&B Records. In July 2005 the album was released in Japan. The band really wants to be on the road as much as possible and have done some fantastic gigs, for Black Bonzo is a band you just must see live in order to fully understand the bands ambitions and musical statement.
Black bonzo finished the recording and mixing of the second album “Sound Of The Apocalypse” in 2006, released in June 2007 on B & B Records. Magnus Lindberg mixed the album at Tonteknik. “It’s more adventurous, original and mysterious then you ever can imagen!” as the bassist player Anthon Johansson puts it. The album got good reviews in rock magazines such as Record Collector and Classic Rock Magazine. A European tour was put together in September 2007 and was later followed by a short US tour in May 2008. It was the first time the band performed in the States but certainly not the last. They did not stop there because later in June Black Bonzo toured the UK with good response.
In February 2008 the recordings of the third album “Guillotine Drama” began. By Christmas Magnus Lindberg at Tonteknik had finished the mixing and mastering of the album and, as usual, he did a fantastic job. The 18th September 2009 “Guillotine Drama” was released through B & B Records and Ward Records (Japan).
