Two Lane Black Top are influenced by Refused, The (International) Noise Conspiracy, Fu Manchu and Hellacopters. They were founded in Wellington in 2001 from the ashes of DYIAD.
Two Lane Black Top are a four piece rock and roll band from Wellington New Zealand. Forming two years ago with a mutual love for the rock of days gone by, eg: Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Kiss, The Stooges and Deep Purple, they also have a huge passion for pretty much any cinematic experience that leaves a lasting impression on them.
Naming themselves after a 1970’s drag-racing movie, Two Lane Black Top write songs about the movies that inspire them.
Supporting the likes of The Datsuns, Grinspoon, Pacifier, Mach Pelican and The Stalkers, TLBT achieved renown for their all meat no fat style of playing.
Two Lane Black Top disbanded in late 2003.
