Bringing lawless Americana to Brighton for almost a decade, making music together on many different projects, for the 

last three years this group of Brighton-based musicians have become The Black Fields. 

The Black Fields’ songs and lyrics dwell in the dark and depraved worlds of the wild west, latino prostitutes, lovelorn  lost artists, and bare-knuckle fighters, demanding comparisons to Tom Waits at his most twisted and Nick Cave at his  most snarling and, at times, mournful and melancholic.

2013 is due to be an exciting year for The Black Fields with the June release of a new Tim Larcombe-produced record,  (Lana del Rey, Saint Etienne, Placebo, Sugababes, Gabriella Cilmi) followed by a string of tour dates across the UK’s  major cities. It may be summer, but The Black Fields’ live performances are made for anything but a quiet recline in the sunshine. Their shows are visceral, chaotic and debaucherous, with each multi- talented guitar-playing member taking turns to be front man. Expect sticky floors, a sweaty party atmosphere and onstage energy reminiscent of The Rollin  Stones’ swagger and passion
