The Black Ryder



The band, hailing from Sydney Australia, relocated to Los Angeles late last year following the release of their album entitled Buy The Ticket, Take the Ride in the states by Mexican Summer They toured with The Cult across the USA for 2 months, played a sold out show at Noise Pop Festival in San Francisco with Tamaryn and The Soft Moon, kicked off the new year with shows in LA, and now the band have some brand new dates to announce opening for the likes of Broken Social Scene and Spectrum (Pete Kember / Spacemen 3 / Sonic Boom as well as some headline shows. In addition, The Black Ryder will be playing Austin Psych Festival on the 30th of April along with Crocodiles, Black Moth Super Rainbow and Spectrum.



A little more about The Black Ryder as told by The Cult's Ian Astbury:

"With auspicious sensual textured layers of melody and guitars, both Scott Von Ryper and chanteuse Miss Aimee Nash weave a densely rich tapestry of love, sex and death, mountains, oceans and astral travel.

They indicate the way to the heart of life the centre of our humanity in ritual space, in crafted chords, in veiled waves of sonic tone and drone. Rich dangerous opiated swirling attacks on the third eye lysergic and lupine in equal measure. Once drawn in by this perfume its essence stays with the listener forever.

There is only one way to truly experience the journey and that is to listen to their debut album 'Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride'.

Self-produced, self-funded, self-realized. An act of necessity formed in earnest from the ashes…. Nash Von Ryper locked themselves away to create this beautiful set of recordings.

We are struck be Aimee's beauty and Scott's sartorial gaze. They are assassins of experience of deep exploration broadcasting direct from the palace of wisdom."
