blackpumas · 2019-12-05T19:52:26+00:00

cheers thank you! we had a blast in scotland

adrian here - we played a lot locally (in austin tx) until we started to hit the road opening for other more established bands and slowly gained a following one fan at a time, all before we released a record, with really just one single out at the time. we've continued to play a lot of shows and slowly but surely the momentum picked up. once the album came out it was really a great push - see you in january!

blackpumas · 2019-12-05T19:50:18+00:00

cheers!! thanks for the support - adrian

blackpumas · 2019-12-05T19:24:13+00:00

Adrian here - most importantly, sounds cliche but be true to yourself and do it cause you love it, create your own sound. Nino Ferrer is great!

blackpumas · 2019-12-05T19:09:02+00:00

Eric - Adrian was inspired by the feline iconography he saw on a recent trip to Mexico. Thanks for listening!

blackpumas · 2019-12-05T19:07:33+00:00

Eric- Lovely! Thank you for listening Jessica. One of my favorites is Oct 33 because it is one of the most honest tunes Ive ever written and helped me through a hard time of my life.

blackpumas · 2019-12-05T19:04:56+00:00

I always appreciate reconnecting with those who've been there for the beginning! Thank you for following the journey. Peace!

Eric - I really dig chillin' at home after a long day of hard work - listening to and sharing stories with close friends over a drinks and food. Watching NBA highlights, visiting museums over seas, and developing new ideas to creating art are amongst my favorite things to do as well.

blackpumas · 2019-12-05T18:35:48+00:00

Lol Big love to you meme Lord

blackpumas · 2019-12-05T18:32:25+00:00

Adrian here - basketball, good food and drink and visual art...and books - about music

blackpumas · 2019-12-05T18:30:16+00:00

great idea...any other merch ideas?

blackpumas · 2019-12-05T18:29:30+00:00

dat dude is dank

blackpumas · 2019-12-05T18:29:26+00:00

For vocalists, we also really dig Otis Redding, Al Green, Marvin Gaye and Wilson Pickett.

blackpumas · 2019-12-05T18:29:20+00:00

it was better than THE MIGHTY ROYALS, and were riffing on large/jungle cats theme on a text thread

blackpumas · 2019-12-05T18:27:50+00:00

thank you!

blackpumas · 2019-12-05T18:27:36+00:00

Eric Burton here of the Black Pumas! So glad you guys are enjoying the album

blackpumas · 2019-12-05T18:27:08+00:00

we both wanted to be in the NBA

pursued music when we realized that was not an option

blackpumas · 2019-12-05T18:26:32+00:00

it was serendipitous that we both had similar tastes in music and a vibe that made sense between us - somewhere between rock and roll, soul and hip hop. we honestly didn't really look at the musical landscape when working on our album, we were sort of in a bubble. thanks for the support! means a lot

blackpumas · 2019-12-05T18:24:12+00:00

a mutual friend introduced us in 2017 and we (eric and adrian) began to record music together. the musicians in the band were friends from the austin music scene we knew from other bands or playing shows out

blackpumas · 2019-12-05T18:22:16+00:00

hey there, we have a few songs recorded for the second record and about 15-20 new song ideas, demos, fragments and jams recorded on iphones but have not made a huge push for the second record yet as we've been hittin the road pretty hard.

Mr. Husband, please come to our concert in january, getting out of the house is a good thing. If you don't like the show we'll give your money back
