Black Light White Light looks and sounds like a band out of the heart of Los Angeles or San Francisco, with its grungy neo-psychedelic rock and lyrics that reference 1950s Beatnik culture sung in perfect English. While the group did record its debut album in Los Angeles, Black Light White Light is actually a Scandinavian trio with members from Copenhagen, Denmark and Malmo, Sweden. Formed in 2007, the group quickly impressed fellow Scandinavian indie and alternative rock bands, which garnered Black Light White Light opening slots on a few European tours. However, with its absorption with American rock and culture, the band sought to spread its fan base to the US and thus embarked on a North American tour with the release of its debut album in 2011.
