Record Store Day 2012: Big Black Delta

....And last but not least, closing out the Origami Vinyl Record Store Day 2012 celebration is the notorious BIG BLACK DELTA. They will be playing at The Echo at 7pm,  capping off the the free day-long 8-band show (doors open at noon). Big Black Delta is a solo project of Mellowdrone vocalist/bassist Jonathan Bates. Big Black Delta has collaborated with a number with other artists such as War Widow, Alessandro Cortini, and Morgan Kibby. 

As of July 2010, Jonathan Bates says BBD is his  “new musical endeavor” which aims to release new free music every few weeks. The bands first release “BBDEP1” was released for free download in August 2010 and the followup lp, “BBDLP1”, was released on September 26th, 2011 to rather positive feedback. BBD opened for M83 at the Fox Theater recently and is back again to play our free show at the Echo! I hope you enjoyed my bios and will see you on Saturday for Record Store Day! It's going to be rad B-)
