Out back of Black Bikes lives a small music studio called Dead Beat where Perths best bands gather to create excellent music.
Perth has always been known as the birthplace of some of Australias biggest bands and it is hidden hives like Deadbeat where the genius is brewed.
Black Bikes has always been a massive supporter of local music and from time to time we will update the track here so you can be exposed to the sound of Perths best while you peruse the sweetness of two wheeled human propelled steel.
Now sit back and listen to a track by Luke Dux and Dave Benck from their gritty side project 'Dux and Downtown.

The Back Alley Peddlers/Black Bikes crew took to the gravel country back tracks of the Beverley-York locale for a Heroic 50 miles.
The Black Bikes Doom Racer took out the peoples choice and a Heroic Bike award.
Built up two days before the race from a solid Malvern Star Path Frame and new old stock shifters and brakes, she held up well to the gruelling, rutted and loose gravel tracks.
Congratulations to all involved.
Special mention to Owen Watchla and Max Brinkworth for taking out Heroic awards along with The Boss.
The Rover Road Race of 1897 was the brainchild of Percy Armstrong, noted rider and entrepreneurial owner of the Rover Cycling Agency. The gruelling event of 116 miles over rough turn of the century roads proved popular and was later re-named The Beverley to Perth Race - or simply the “Beverley”.
