Making a Scene Brings you an Interview with Lou Black

Lou Black is a Peruvian born, Washington DC based singer/songwriter/producer/video artist/statistician. His 2004 debut album (“City of No Winters”) has been described by the press as “sophisticated global pop” and “one of the best in the singer songwriter genre,” but Lou Black describes his music as “subversive pop songs of social commentary and personal struggle. I have many musical influences, my primary ones being Roy Orbison and the Velvet Underground, but I always like to keep track of what listeners/fans say I remind them of. The list is broad, but there are some frequent references to Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, Bryan Ferry, Lou Reed, Nick Cave, Johnny Cash, Weezer, Pixies, Billy Idol, Tom Waits,
Enrique Bunbury, and Raul Seixas, to name a few."
