Black Dice formed in Brooklyn, New York, back in 1997. After spending time on the DFA label, the trio are currently signed to Paw Tracks.

Beginning as a purposefully noisy, thrash-fuelled outfit, Black Dive have begun to shift towards a more melodic direction of late. That said, it must be stressed that the most commercial-sounding Black Dice material is still pretty far out there.

Members:
Bjorn Copeland
Eric Copeland
