Black Frog is run by a Hard Rock and Heavy Metal Fan with a passion for getting behind KIWI bands..
I have been around the local Metal Scene since around 2008 when I became the Youth Rep for Auckland for the Heavy Metal Hard Rock Society (which sadly has now closed) Black Frog came to life in Feb 2010 with my first show raising over $700 for Save the Children and their work in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake.
I am dedicated to the cause when it comes to raising the profile of NZ Hard Rock and Heavy Metal both within NZ and eventually internationally. I don't want to make this kind of music mainstream but I aim to make the rest of the world give our kind of music the respect that it deserves.

I am always looking for new causes to support or willing to give advice to bands. If you want to meet up for a beer or a coffee for advice or want help with planning a tour or a release, especially a Metal one then GET IN TOUCH! You don't have to be based in NZ either \m/ \m/
