The Black Mambas are a four piece Punk Band, heavily influenced by first wave Punk, their live performances are breath taking filled with power and fury, they released their first 45′ RPM record late 2013 and their first full length record “Black Mambas’ in early 2014. Both of these releases have received fantastic response. The band is currently working on new material and will undertake their second European tour mid 2016.

Black Mambas are: Michael Price, Leroy Martinez, Billie Telephone

“They have a Rolling Stones-meets-Iggy and The Stooges way about them. Very bluesy side of the Stones vibe, with an edge of garage…I’m playin “Baby I’ll Give It You,” “Bulldog,” and “Teenage Letter.”

The Black Mambas stagger into 1976 with gutter-glam songs and dawn-of-punk velocity and attitude. Like the New York Dolls, you ask? Oh mais oui, as the Dolls’ singer David Johansen must have once bellowed, but there’s lots of Redd Kross and Real Kids roaring alongside, too. (The Mambas’ “Teenage Letter” cover is just a few burst blood vessels away from the Count Bishops’ bruising 1975 version.) L.A.’s 1980s glam punk legends The Joneses remain the once and future kings of this sound, but the Mambas are young and hungry. Well, actually, that probably should be “thirsty,” at least judging by the way they smash out these shot-of-whiskey hits.”
