Blonde Vinyl Memorial | Black & White World

Black & White World was a slightly funky alternative rock band that was actually on Blonde Vinyl long enough to record two full albums. They were also known for humorous and witty lyrics set to energitic or introspective music, depending on the mood of the song. They were also one of the few Blonde Vinyl acts to create a video (for "Love is the Law").

Rob Gallas became the lead vocalist for Undercover on their 1994 album Forum

Just want to add that Rob Gallas and Dave C. went on to be involved in 2 other OC based bands in the late 90s and early 00s. First was Oscar, which had an EP release called "Put Your Pants On". Oscar later evolved into Free Spin. I'm not sure if Free Spin ever released anything.

My band did a cover of "Love is the Law" back in the day. I loved that song. Wore the cassette out though. I need to find it on CD.
