Black Pumas have partnered with the Texas Department of Transportation’s Don’t Mess With Texas litter prevention campaign.
Black Pumas have released a vibrant new live video of their cover of Rodriguez's iconic 1970 single "Sugar Man." The band originally released the cover as Spotify Single earlier this year, and Adrian Quesada said, "'Sugar Man' is one of those songs we've both been attracted to for years, from Rodriguez's songwriting and performance to the production of Dennis Coffey, it's inspired us in more ways than one and is one of those true timeless pieces of music. It was a total blast to dissect it and reinterpret in our voice."
Black Pumas' self-titled debut album recently surpassed 500,000 in album equivalents worldwide, and they just celebrated the record's two year anniversary with a performance of a special brass version of their hit single "Colors" on The Late Late Show with James Corden. This past weekend they made another television appearance on NBC's Macy's 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular alongside Coldplay, OneRepublic, and Reba McEntire. NBC was on hand for the band's historic sold-out five-night stand at Austin's Stubb's BBQ last month and captured performances of "Colors" and "Black Cat" that aired exclusively on the special.
Black Pumas have partnered with the Texas Department of Transportation's Don't Mess With Texas litter prevention campaign for a new TV, digital, and radio PSA that is airing now. The PSA was filmed and recorded on-location in Austin in May during a special concert at Stubb's before an audience of 150 winners of a social media contest. The contest winners submitted a photo or video of themselves picking up litter to gain entry to the exclusive performance. In teaming up with Don't Mess With Texas, Black Pumas join a host of other Texas celebrities who have lent their support to the campaign throughout the years, including Matthew McConaughey, Willie Nelson, Erykah Badu, and Eva Longoria. Watch the PSA HERE.
This summer, Black Pumas will return to the stage with an extensive 2021-2022 tour across the U.S., the UK, and Europe. The tour includes four nights at NYC's Brooklyn Steel in September - 3 already sold-out and the fourth going fast - Los Angeles' YouTube Theater, multiple shows in Chicago, Seattle, Portland, and Denver, and festival appearances at Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, BottleRock Napa Valley, Ohana Fest in Dana Point, CA, Atlanta's Music Midtown and more.
