Black Dice is an experimental noise group based out of Brooklyn , New York City .
history
Black Dice formed in the spring of 1997, shortly after guitarist Bjorn Copeland met drummer Hisham Bharoocha at the Rhode Island School of Design . Together with Bjorn's brother Eric Copeland as a singer and the bassist Sebastian Blanck, the band was together in their first constellation. The early music of Black Dice was considered by Trash Core -influenced noise described. They released several 7's and toured for a short time before Blanck left the band and was replaced by Aaron Warren. In 1999 the band moved to New York City and began experimenting more with sound so that more pedals were added to their gear Their sound changed from their early punk-like style to motorized and dub- like noise rock .
You are also known as part of the Fort Thunder artist network from Providence , where Lightning Bolt originally lived and worked.
Black Dice gained attention through the record deal with FatCat Records and DFA Records . Her first album on the label, Beaches & Canyons , and her follow-up album Creature Comforts became known. However, the band suffered setbacks as the drummer Bharoocha moved to Japan and the long-planned tour with the befriended band Animal Collective had to be canceled.
Black Dice recorded Broken Ear Record (2005) in Australia only as a trio . Without a drummer, the music changed again to Afrobeat and Breakbeat . Over the course of their career, the band toured five continents with artists such as The Residents and Godspeed You! Black Emperor .
Noah Lennox from Animal Collective said in an interview about Black Dice in 2005: "[...] I feel like the wisest things I've learned about being in a band I learned by watching them." In a 2009 interview with Magic magazine, Lennox confirmed that he saw Black Dice as a "model for a band":
"I feel like as a band, I can't speak for the other guys , but certainly for myself, like I modeled the way I approach to everything with the band watching the way Black Dice did it."
In 2007 the band switched to Paw Tracks . There the album Load Blown was released in the same year , which included the song Kokomo . Kokomo was the band's first track to have a music video produced. Her last album to date, Repo , was released in 2009.
