LATEST SINGLE “SHINE” FROM NEW YORK’S BLACK GOLD
FEATURED ON HIT TV SHOW
“SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE”

BAND LAUNCHES YOUTUBE DANCE CONTEST TO CELEBRATE

BLACK GOLD ON TOUR NOW WITH
ROONEY AND THE YOUNG VEINS

“Shine,” the latest single from breakout New York rock band BLACK GOLD, is currently featured on FOX’s hit dance competition show “So You Think You Can Dance.”  The soaring, anthemic track can be heard during the weekly contestant exit montage.
 

To celebrate, the band has announced a web-based dance contest inspired by the show with BLACK GOLD offering fans the opportunity to record videos of themselves dancing to “Shine” and upload them to http://www.BlackGoldThinksYouCanDance.com via YouTube.  The videos will be judged based on creativity, originality, humor, vibe and number of YouTube views rather than dance expertise, so all are welcome and encouraged to participate.  One winner will be selected to receive a series of dance lessons from a local dance school in their hometown.  PureSYTYCD.com (www.puresytycd.com) has partnered with BLACK GOLD to promote the contest to the show’s most loyal fans.

BLACK GOLD is currently on a month-long North American tour with Rooney and the Young Veins in continued support of their debut Rush on which “Shine” appears.  The album was recently called “…one of the lost gems of the last year” by Lily Moayeri of VenusZine and upon release SPIN hailed it as “breathlessly experimental” and lauded its “sweeping orchestral rock.”  “Shine” continues to impact at Hot AC and AAA radio stations across the country.
