BlackMahal, the Band Behind Viral Steelers Bhangra Anthem “Black, Gold and Silver”, Will be “Blitz-Singh” the ‘Burgh for the First Time Friday July 13 at the Thunderbird Cafe
Show at ThunderBird Café brings BlackMahal back to where it all began
(PITTSBURGH – June 13, 2012) – Punjabi-
funk hop band BlackMahal can trace its
start back to a casual conversation at a
wedding in Pittsburgh twelve years ago,
but this summer marks the first time that
the band will be playing here.
BlackMahal’s July 13 th debut at the
Thunderbird Café is due largely to the
popularity of their hit song and video
“Black Gold and Silver (Lombardi Baby!)”,
which was created to cheer the Pittsburgh
Steelers on in their bid for the Super Bowl
Lombardi Trophy. The video available
here spread across the world and back to
the ‘Burgh.
“We’ve toured across North America from the Olympics to the upcoming Montreal Jazz Fest but nothing beats coming back to your hometown,” says Vijay Chattha, a founding member of BlackMahal and a native of Weirton, WV, just 45 minutes from Pittsburgh’s Heinz Field stadium.
