An article at NativeTimes.com about Black Maria, a metal band from Albuquerque.

"I think one thing that makes us different from most bands is that we don't do much self-promotion," Terry said.

Black Maria's garage band mentality keeps everyone grounded although their ability to blow away audiences is why their shows are so successful.

"The truth about the marketing thing is we really still cannot believe that anybody would care about watching us," Gordie said.

That's the same Gordy from the cover of the Alibi a few months back.
