RACES (formerly known as Black Jesus) formed in the fall of 2009 after singer/songwriter Wade Ryff escaped the sweaty grips of multiple bands, the San Fernando Valley and a real life witch. First formed as an impromptu group assembled for a one-off performance, the band was a haphazard collection of musicians who had befriended one-another over years of playing music. The band of seven is on the verge of releasing their self-recorded and produced album. Pick up their debut release – a 7 inch single of “Big Broom” b/w “Cruel and Rude” out late April 2011 on JAXART Records!
Holy cow. Back from SXSW finally. Our showcase with Twosyllable was a total success and thank you so much to everyone who came out and all the bands who played! I’m really looking forward to our jampacked spring which includes several new 7 Inch releases and amazing shows in Echo Park!
Be sure to come out this Saturday to see two amazing Canadian Bands Duzheknew and Cousins along with Basement Babies and Birdhand. Details below!

We really wanted to extend a sincere THANK YOU to everyone behind the scenes who made Saturday’s SOLD OUT 3D Live show such a huge success: Corey and Viv at Danceism, Matt from MFG Productions, Carlos at The Alexandria, Tim at ShakerMaker PR, Devin, Brigitte, Kelsea, and Veronica for volunteering their time and making check in a breeze, everyone who helped set up and tear down, and last but not least – the whole team at Visatech 3D for providing us with a glimpse into the future.
Most importantly we’d also like to thank all the fans, the curious, and those who came to dance their buns off for bringing the energy and truly making this a night to remember!
A show like this has never been seen before.
