Line Up
Welcome to the inner workings of some unusual people. Black Gabanza is a 5 piece band hailing from various parts of the South East and Kent. With a heady mix of the dark, imaginative and twisted; A penchant for whipping up swampy, driving riffs, sublime melodies and sliding so deep in-the-pocket that they could be gasping for air, drowning in their own loose change, wrinkled receipts and lonely fuzzy ‘mint with the hole’. Black Gabanza are inspired and influenced by bands/artists such as Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Grinderman, Queens Of The Stone Age, Rival Sons and Tom Waits amongst others and are chomping at the bit to show the world the songs that they’ve been crafting in a cabin hidden in the depths of the Kent countryside
