BLACK SHOWS (prior to the departure of HOME and Nik Gunz) : The originator of BLACK -- Nik Gunz and his crew "HOME" - left BLACK in the summer of 2009 to pursue new endeavors - and we thank him for all he helped to build. Below you will find a number of flyers from the "previous" days before the "new" home (Particle People, Loud & Clear, and HotDish) began! A huge thanks goes out Nik Gunz, HOME, and to all the artists that played at BLACK during these years!
