Black Moscow

As of February 2011, Black Moscow are under Headline Artists management.

Black Moscow started in May 2010, aiming to make music that is intelligent and without pretense. The band has a solid grounding in musical theory courtesy of guitarist Marc Röntsch and bassist Luke Otto’s training at The South African College of Music, UCT. The line-up is completed by guitarist Stephen Alfreds - a graphic designer; drummer Rob Ruhrmund - who owns studio and production house Def Empire; and Xavier Van Der Zandt - who performs vocal duties and is a freelance writer and student at UCT.
