Black Top is a rocking blues guitar player, a thumping, stomping rhythm section and two great lead singers. Black Top is a three piece blues rock band with a rock & roll attitude and a sound thats large as life. Mick Hup, Martin van Hills and Theo Thumper put there heads together after touring with Noel Redding, Tracy Bonham and T-Model Ford. They have a fresh view on blues rock music.
Black Top plays originals and put out their debut album Rough and Gritty late 2008
Sometimes they play classic blues rock songs by ZZ Top, Joe Walsh, Willie Dixon or Rory Gallagher with respect for the tradition.
Put on your biker boots and your black leather jacket, but be sure to leave your pick-up and your Harley at home, because after a night of Black Top blues rock, youll be crawling home
