It is regarded as the first internationally successful so-called Teddy boy / revival-rock'n'roll band from Germany.
In 1995, they had their first international performances in England, the mother-country of the rock'n'roll revival movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Notable at this time were their gigs at the Teddy Boy Weekender in Great Yarmouth[1] and at the Blackpool Rock’n’Roll-Weekender.
Black Raven has appeared as a backing group for Graham Fenton of Matchbox, Sandy Ford of the Flying Saucers and to Freddie 'Fingers' Lee.
Black Raven received third place and, as a result, was invited to perform in the 2005 Rock am Ring alongside Iron Maiden, Green Day, R.E.M., Mötley Crüe, Sonic Youth, The Hives, Slayer, Marilyn Manson, Mando Diao and Die Toten Hosen, a contemporary band from Düsseldorf.
