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. Originally formed as an impromptu group assembled for a one time performance, this haphazard ensemble of 6 musicians decided to continue playing together and see what opportunities came their way.
The band recently released a 3 song digitial EP, which features 2 songs that will appear ontheir forthcoming debut LP, Year Of the Witch. Their debut LP is due out March of next year. In the meantime, the band are excited to announce a string of California tour dates to round out the year.They’ll then be headed out on the road with El Ten Eleven this January.
