...picture a rock and roll circus...big top,jugglers,a bunch of midgets jumping out of a small car and the most bad-ass,heavy-duty jams flowing...

In the summer of 1989 , the BLACK PAMPERS were established. From that point on, all we ever knew about the face of Rock and Roll had been dramatically transformed into one of the most creative, most inspiring, international networking families known to the western world.

BLACK PAMPERS are a family, in every sense of the word, who bring together thousands of creative minds, bodies and shit from all around the world with the sole purpose of creating a system which constantly opens doors to explore the boundaries of what a Rock and Roll show could be.

In 1991, BLACK PAMPERS spawned a group called BISHOPS DAUGHTER, made up of a collection of Swiss & American rockers who help to originate a part of what BLACK PAMPERS stand for : HARD,MINDFUCKING,FREAKADELIC MUSIC. BISHOPS DAUGHTER is on a roll, making a move out of the underworld, and into the overground. They are part of a movement which is dedicated to giving the audience more than they came for. Not just a concert , but a goddamn circus !
