Electronic/rock duo BLACK BOOTS continues to stir it up with their refreshingly new take on dance music with rock ‘n’ roll attitude. Most recently the Ultra Music recording artists–tagged by such outlets as Vibe.com, Alternative Press and Billboard.com (see quotes below)–released their buzz-building single “Streetwalker.” Beginning today (8/6), BLACK BOOTS and Ultra Music are offering the track as a free download via the group’s Facebook page, for one week only. Get it now here: www.facebook.com/blackbootsx.
BLACK BOOTS—LIGHTKNIFE (production) and MIKEY FRANCIS (vocals, production)–explore further into the depths of song and verse with “Streetwalker,” the follow-up single to “Flash Of Light.” Shimmering synths build alongside MIKEY‘s elegant delivery as the song swells into an irresistible refrain. Words will not be forgotten on this towering dance floor rollercoaster that features a hypnotic female vocal cameo from MIKEY‘s cousin Katie Roberts. A music video for “Streetwalker” recently premiered on the mtvU network and MTV Clubland. Watch it here: http://youtu.be/bmsxmwgCvyw.
BLACK BOOTS has also added a few new live shows to their schedule: Friday, September 6 at Heat Ultra Lounge in Anaheim, CA, Saturday, September 7 at Dolphin Nightclub in Chicago, IL and a special hometown show Friday, September 27 at Body English at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. Following a powerful one-hour set in front of a sold-out crowd at the Avalon in Hollywood earlier this year, as part of the venue’s celebrated EDM club series Control, MusicYouNeed.net noted “Their set commenced and they got right into without hesitation. It was a super melodic and super fun set full of electro house bangers, progressive house beauty, and Mikey’s live vocals over top of their two hit singles ‘Flash Of Light’ and ‘Rebels In The Night’” (1/21/13). More tour dates will be added soon.
While not on the road, BLACK BOOTS stay busy working on new remixes and curating their new mix series. They just released an original remix of Tom Swoon’s “Wings,” available for purchase now at http://www.beatport.com/track/wings-feat-taylr-renee-black-boots-remix/4611653. Check out the a clip of the track here: https://soundcloud.com/blackbootsx/tom-swoon-wings-black-boots-1. Additionally, BLACK BOOTS recently began rolling out their new “Blacklist” mix series. “Blacklist 001” can be downloaded at https://soundcloud.com/blackbootsx/mixes-blackboots-blacklist-001 and “Blacklist 002” at https://soundcloud.com/blackbootsx/mixes-blackboots-blacklist-002. Ultra Music has also released a “Streetwalker (Remixes)” EP out now: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/streetwalker-remixes-ep/id661732044.
Since their worldwide debut with the track “Rebels In The Night” in November 2012, BLACK BOOTS has built a rapidly growing fan base and earned accolades from the media. Billboard.com wrote: “New Ultra Records signees Black Boots aren’t the typical EDM outfit. The Las Vegas-based duo–producer Lightknife and vocalist/producer Mikey Francis–eschews neon for black leather, abandons mainstream polish for a punk aesthetic, and aims not only to move crowds but to create a movement. Lightknife and Francis’ sound joins full-bodied electronic production with raw indie-pop vocals, all fueled by a devil-may-care, rock ‘n’ roll attitude.” (1/30/13) Elsewhere, Alternative Press included BLACK BOOTS on their 100 Bands You Need To Know list and Vibe.com tagged them in their “30 DJs To Watch in 2013” feature.
