History

Albino Blacksheep was founded in 1999 by Steven Lerner to promote his band of the same name, which was started in 1996. Very little information on the band Albino Blacksheep exists. In 2000, Steven took a web design course and redesigned the website. This new incarnation contained rants, graphical images, and a video stream from Lerner's video camera. Perhaps Lerner's first famous work was in 2003, with his site's Google bomb for French military victories. Since then, the site has been growing in popularity, currently receiving about 1.50 million pageviews per day.
