Talbot is from New Orleans.
Patrick is from St. Louis.
Johnny is from Mississippi.
We all live in Oxford, MS.
We have all been in alot of bands...some good...some bad.
We hope you think this is one of the good ones.
Talbot and Punk Rock Pat are both Checkmates alumni. Now if we can get Valiant to do a set of ELO covers with us we'll have the Black and Whites all sewn up.
Loving the music! I typed The Black and Whites on myspace music cos i wanted my band to be called that! But now i see you have the name, and you're a million times better, so no deal :p Great music guys! x
Jeepers! I'm diggin' the new LP! "Gonna Have Some Fun Tonite" sounds like Rob Tyner fronting The Real Kids. This platter is, to quote the Bard, "groin-grabbingly good". I bid you adieu.
