Black Gold Sun is a 3 piece Black Girl Punk Band whose members are from the legendary bands Sistas In The Pit and Dolorata. “Black Gold Sun is punk at its purest—loud, fearless, and impossible to ignore.” Three Black women. One punk riot. Black Gold Sun doesn’t play by the rules—they tear them up. “Black Gold Sun brings a punk spectacle—blistering riffs, riotous drums, thunderous bass and a presence that grabs the crowd by the throat. They don’t play. They own the stage.” Black Gold Sun is a high-intensity Black girl punk trio delivering raw power and unapologetic presence.

Their sound blends aggressive guitar riffs, thunderous bass lines, and electrifying drums into a force that’s as visceral as it is unforgettable. Members are from legendary San Francisco bands- Sistas In The Pit, The Hail Marys and have opened for and toured with Iggy Pop and The Stooges. With international tours across Europe and China, and viral live performances, they’ve earned a reputation as one of punk’s most vital rising acts. Bold, genre-defiant, and fiercely authentic, Black Gold Sun is a band built for the stage—and made to shake the system.
