Black April

We share a Vietnamese heritage although we are quite American. We are not a political band. Our name was chosen to honor the sacrifices of our parents, the innocent victims of the Vietnam War, and the heroes who had fought and lost their lives to ensure our chance at freedom. On April 30, 1975 the government of the Republic of Vietnam surrendered to the Communist Regime of North Vietnam after almost 20 years of war. This dark time in history spawned a mass exodus... and is known to the refugees of South Vietnam as Black April.
