BLACK were born in 1982, instigated by Steve Albini, then a Sophomore at
Northwestern University, a fanzine writer and a loudmouth. A six-song EP,
LUNGS, was recorded on a borrowed 4-track for the price of one case of beer.
Five years later, at the peak of their popularity, Big Black split. They
never had a manager, a booking agent, a lawyer, or taken advance from their
record company. They left a musical legacy dripping with power, cynicism
and a sense of humour that was blacker than black. In Seattle, at their
final gig, they smashed up all their stuff. In 1992 Touch and Go Records, through Southern Studios re-released the entire Big Black catalog. |
