The black panthers are a Blues influenced Christchurch, New Zealand supergroup, consisting of members of the Hi-Tone Destroyers and thee Strap-ons. Vocalist Matt Alien is known for his Jim Morrison like gaze and formideable stage performance, forever pluging and occassionally giving piggy back rides on stage legendary guitarist Mr. Rod Buick ladies and gentlemen.... They often don full sized fake Afros and constantly abuse and slander the audience. Unforgettable performers!
