Miss
Black America have known good and bad times. They've won band contests,
recorded sessions for Radio 1 and been reviewed by Q, NME and Rollingstone
but band members (and even little fingers) have come and gone. |

The
full MBA line-up is:
Ryan Banwell - bass
Mat Anthony - guitar/voice
Simon Chapple - drums
Seymour Glass - voice/guitar
MBA formed in October 1999, within two weeks they'd played their
first gig and by August 2000 they were supporting The Dandy Warhols.
They
released their first EP in May 2001 and began recording the debut
album, God Bless Miss Black America, in September of the same year.
Unfortunately it's first review in NME wasn't all that favourable,
their record company went bust and the original line-up imploded.
However,
successfull sessions for John Peel helped front-man Seymour Glass
to recruit new members and in May 2003 MBA supported Therapy? on
their UK tour.
They
continued to write and gig like crazy and in June 2004 they began
to record their second album, Terminal, which is due for release
in 2005 through R>E>P>E>A>T Records.
