Black Sheep 1999
Black Sheep, one of the L.A's metal scene's most respected cult bands is back, returning with their most impressive line-up yet and their new album, Sacrifice. The band has been home to some of L.A.'s finest musicians, including Slash (Guns N' Roses), Paul Gilbert (Racer x, Mr. Big), Kyle Harrison (Trampled Underfoot), Mitch Perry (Steeler, Talas, MacAulley-Schenker Group) and Kurt James (Steeler, Dr. Master Mind). The original Black Sheep album - with Willie Basse, Gilbert and James--was released by Enigma Records in 1985 as the L.A. rock explosion was peaking and is a sought after collector's item.
Black Sheep circa 1985
The new Black Sheep, Basse's 1999 musical adventure in overdrive is fueled by James Kottack (Scorpions, Kingdom Come, The Cult, Krunk) on drums, Jeff Northrup (King Kobra, Paul Shortino, Billy Thorpe) on guitar and guitar prodigy, Marshall Harrison (Kram) on lead. Originally recorded as an EP. Sacrifice is now a full length CD and will be released on Rocks'cool Records (a play on the many top musicians that have passed through the band).
The members of Black Sheep are musicians' musicians who have played with some of the biggest names in rock. The band's patented sound is at once heavier and more musical than ever, delivered by a group og veterans who aren't afraid to stretch the boundaries of traditional hard-rock. Black Sheep's impressive level of musicianship comes from the fact that all four members write and produce individually, giving the band a tremendous resource for songs and melodies, not to mention experience.
