    Welcome back #teamblackalley.... We have a couple of extras for you guys when you purchase the whole album. Nothin' major - we just wanted to give a little bit more to show our appreciation. Please feel free to download our commemorative recap of the night of the album release concert and/or a nifty little flyer that'll link you to a free download of our single "SHAKE.STOP" which is cool since we didn't play it at the concert. That's all. Like we said, nothin' major. But like your Mom always reminded you, "It's the little things that count..."

    Enjoy... -Black Alley

about

One year ago to the day (3-18-12), two years of hard work, prayers, and whatever-it-takes fortitude came to a head on the stage of DC's Rock n Roll Hotel. Finally, our debut street album, SOUL. SWAGGER. ROCK. SNEAKERS. was here. It was real. Fans had a Black Alley CD to rock out to at home, or work, at the gym or in their cars...

The building was packed (literally sold out!). The atmosphere was electric. Menacing beats made love to meaningful words, while heads banged and asses shook! To put it simply - it was heaven!

That album release concert was a celebration. It was a love letter to our family, fans, and city. Note-by-note we were trying our best to say, "Thank you so much for all you have given us..." It was our way of paying homage to our homegrown heroes like Chuck Brown, Marvin Gaye, and Backyard, as well as other major influences like Erykah Badu, Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix, and Tina Turner. Simultaneously, we were signaling to ourselves and our supporters, THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!

Josh on Bass (our fly ass bass player) once shared with the rest of the band that success is not about how many people you impress, but about how many people's hearts and lives you make an impression on! Honestly, that's always been our artist prayer - to make music that means something and cranks like shit at the same damn time! One year after the release of our debut album and album release concert, we want to share the magic of that night with the world. We want you to feel the energy. And we want to make sure you make plans to make the next one....

Always.Love.
- Black Alley
