 | | Their winter Saturday night NYC shows have been described by as "a rite of passage for all New Yorkers." Having once closed down the town of Hoboken, Black 47 shows are legendary and incendiary, where you're as likely to be rubbing shoulders with a celebrity as a cop, student, hardhat or writer. |
 | | They have released six other albums: Black 47, Green Suede Suede Shoes, Live in New York City, On Fire, Trouble in the Land, New York Town and in 2005 Elvis Murphy's Green Suede Shoes, which featured duets with Rosanne Cash, David Johansen, Suzzy Roche and Eileen Ivers among others. |
 | | Black 47 burst onto the American scene in 1993 with their hit single, "Funky Céilí." They formed in the Bronx in late 1989 and became immediately controversial because of their eclectic sound and provocative lyrics. |
