Ahhh Blackerface!! Force of freaking nature. Blacker Face is a lot of things at once: activist post-post-post-punk, a prog band, confrontational, good as hell performers. They’ve been going for a few years now, but have really started burning hot in the 2017, also known as the year of atomic dumpster fire. Seeing Blacker Face live leaves you good and sweaty, and likely chewing on a rant frontperson Jolene W/E gave about white people. Jolene is really good at railing against white people. Really really good at it.
This one was filmed by Erica Mei Gamble at a benefit for Hurricane Maria relief I put together with the help of Ben Baker Billington. The RP Boo set from this night is forthcoming, and maybe I’ll up the little talk from the Logan Square Neighborhood Association as well.
