Ray Black & The Flying Carpets

Ray Black & The Flying Carpets are totally devoted to the raw and honest sound of early Rockabilly. Still these guys are not afraid of critically selected garage songs from the 60s, that they translate into their own style and use them as a fuel injection for their mainly authentic Rockabilly sound.

The outcome is a highly driven performance, that is danceable, whether you want to bop or jive and shows the uncompromising dedication of the four bandmembers Ray Black (Singer, Upright Bass), Bone (Lead Guitar), Howlin’ H (Acoustic Guitar, Baritone), Boz Doz (Drums) to what they do, on every stage that they enter.

The band is based in Stuttgart (Germany), but has played all over Germany, aswell as in Austria, Switzerland and France. The band members have always been active musicians in the scene, playing with The Hidden Charms, The Railbones, Dusty Dave & The Heartattacks or Blue Rockin’ so you certainly could have seen them on stage before.

Their 12-track debut album “Better Way To Move” was released on the Rhythm Bomb Records Label in March 2018. This was also be followed up by a 7“ single on Migraine Records aswell, featuring 3 killer tracks for the DJs.

DJ Mark Armstrong had a first listen and this to say about it:
“This album is made by rockabillies for rockabillies it’s the real deal, a little different, and full of exuberant energy, and will introduce ‘Ray Black and The Flying Carpets’ to a greater audience base.“
