After a chance meeting in Clapham, Devid Dell’Aiera joined the family and the lads have been fortunate enough to showcase their music across the UK and Italy.

This will mark the first official tracks to be written with their new guitarist, Tommy London. Their influences are pretty eclectic ranging from blues, soul, pop and Britpop. Their songs lead the sound, telling stories about modern city life with defiant optimism.\n**Black Swan Event**\nIn a twisted milieu stretching between and geisha brides and psycho dominatrixes, Illuminati and new world orders, Black Swan Event peer behind the twitching curtain of everyday life, channeling the surrealism of the 60s underworld with cynical observations of modern Britain. Somehow this fuses together in melodic tales drawing on classic blues themes of unfaithful women and underpaid jobs, new wave chronicles of inner city life, the lyricism of Ray Davies and the melancholy of Kurt Cobain.
