Reptile Black -- HIP Magazine

Vocals/Guitar: Vladik Cervantes

Keyboards/Drum Prog.: JoJo

Bass: Topan Chifron

Reptile Black briefly existed during the late 80's as a semi-pop band with dark/goth undertones, almost gothic pop. Vladik Cervantes contributed his writing skills, guitar skills, and voice. Reptile Black's keyboardist (JoJo) had come out of the same band that John Koviak of London After Midnight did, Another Perfect Day. Reptile Black's bassist was a former member of the band Nausea.

Unfortunately, we never got to release any studio recordings. The only good recording was a home-studio demo that was mainly given out to friends and other contacts. If anyone out there has that demo from 1989, please contact us. Below are 2 live songs I managed to track down and post here.
