Born from an obsession with old-school country, The Black Dakotas play pedal steel soaked country music and they play it real well.
Hailing from Brisbane Qld Australia The Black Dakotas feature ex members of The Silver Dukes, Halfday and The Vegas Kings and are no strangers to the seediest of bars in any corner of the world.
Tipping their hats to George Strait, George Jones, Merle and Kris, The Black Dakotas write songs about real life - the good bits, the bad bits and the whiskey-soaked bits in between.
Recent performances in and around South East Queensland at The Triffid, Ekka, Greazefest etc have reinforced The Black Dakotas' reputation of one the country's finest Honky Tonk acts.
