Black Leather Jesus is a harsh noise group originally from Houston, Texas. The group was founded by Richard Ramirez (musician) in 1989. The group's themes focus on S&M and the gay leather subculture. The band is fronted by couple Richard Ramirez and Sean E. Matzus with various musicians assisting. At one point, the band had 14 members at one time. Black Leather Jesus opened for Sonic Youth in Marfa, TX in 2007.[1] The name came from the terrifying story of Colleen Stan.[2] Black Leather Jesus has done releases with Merzbow, Incapacitants, Blue Sabbath Black Cheer, The Haters, M.S.B.R., and many others. The band is now based near Pittsburgh, PA.
