Manchester
BLACK PILATE are the North West's premier classic rock covers band. The energetic four-piece, based in Manchester, have been gigging since early 2008 with a sound focussed firmly on what the band like to call "balls out rock".
They cover many classics by the likes of AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, Queen, ZZ Top, Jimi Hendrix, T Rex etc as well as many 'modern classics' by bands such as The Foo Fighters, Wolfmother and Jet.
Regulars on the Greater Manchester live music scene, the band have played at many pubs, live venues, private functions, biker rallies and corporate events, and have been very well received by all. If you're looking for a live, energetic, top class rock band, then these boys are for you.

Hello All,
BLACK PILATE are needing to record some new demos, nothing fancy just something of decent quality and at a fair price.
Can anyone recommend a good studio that is reasonably cheap? We are based in the south manchester area, but anywhere around Greater Manchester is fine.
Thanks in advance
