Black Market Karma — Don’t You Know?
(Live @ The Social) A couple of months ago while in London I finally met up with Black Market Karma, the South London psychedelic collective that have been churning out multiple albums a year for the past few years. Their name implies what they’re all about, in these days where piracy, youtube downloads and P2P sharing are the common norm they burn the bridge and allow all their back catalouge can be downloaded for free from their labels website Flower Power Records, in the hope that Karma will eventually bring back the fruits of their hard labour.

Tess Parks opened up for them in mid-August. We had a few minor technical problems and couldn’t shoot the Session we had planned for, the band has a studio in Crayford Stan Belton, the band’s vocalist would play me a couple of unplugged songs. The location we found was the Crayford Cemetary, where we sat on a bench surrounded by mossy tombstones and falling leaves. Both songs that Stan played for me were previously unrecorded and he played them on his beautiful cherry red VOX Ultrasonic semi-acoustic.
