Black Spiders Biography

The band – who consist of: Pete ‘Spider’ Spiby who does vocals and guitar, Ozzy ‘Owl’ Lister also plays guitar, as does Mark ‘Dark Shark’ Thomas, with Tiger Si on drums and Irwin ‘the Fox’ playing bass guitar have spent the last two years playing for audiences across the UK and main land Europe. With friends such as Airbourne, Supersuckers, the Datsuns, Stone Gods and Wildhearts among others plus the wowing of festival crowds including Download, Sonipshere, High Voltage, Bloodstock and iTunes Festivals in the UK alone. iTunes, of course, was very special as the band were chosen by none other than Ozzy Osbourne to open for him at the Roundhouse. Ozzy was so impressed he then offered the Spiders a slot on the UK leg of Ozzfest at the O2 Arena.

With acclaimed ep’s No Goats In The Omen and Cinco Hombres (Diez Cojones) preceding the album release they’ve been winning a lot of friends and influencing a lot of people in the build up to the album release, with features and sterling reviews across the board. But don’t take our word for it…
