In all fairness, Black Dice are hard to keep up with. Concept-slingers as much as musicians, they formed during the late 90’s in Providence, RI. They have gone from broken aggressor to amiable droner, and now have moved-15 years later-into a much poppier locale. They never seem overly satisfied by the tiny taxonomy of musical classification, and any tertiary lap in the internet-whirlbath, paints a full figure and shows them all over Mendeleev’s table, Well, then, they are a mainstay, but a mainstay that changes.
