Big Black Mamba - Blue Moon Marquee (Bare Knuckles & Brawn Live)

From the album Bare Knuckles & Brawn available on Vinyl and CD at This song was inspired by a Native legend of the black snake that will run through the ground and poison our waters. It was filmed on the coast of the Salish sea in BC starring an Indigenous cast along with local artists and actors. It deals with decades of corruption regarding environmental and human rights issues by big oil, the RCMP, the government, and the church. Big Black Mamba (Official Music Video) also has a film we made with the legendary Keith Picot. Watch Music Video: Listen. Like. Follow.
