Return to OZ

I have just touched down in the hot dry land of Australia, its a huge contrast with the sub zero temperatures and dark dark skies of London and Paris. Its been a busy few days, running around getting things organized for the up coming tour and release of the album and also hitting the studio for rehearsal with the band.
Today I've been able to be lazy and just wonder through Melbourne in a fuzzy jet lagged haze. Taking my pasty white sun starved body out into day light was a good feeling. Even if everybody I walked past had to shield their eyes away from my reflecting white skin.
For the next week while I get over my jet lag and get some color back into my skin we will be putting together the final details of our release and launch party. In the mean time I am adding details of our up coming gigs in Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales.
We are very excited to be heading to Sydney, in march to play with a much loved Aussie band “The Church” at The Factory Theatre.
Another very important gig that we will be playing is a benefit show at The Wesley Anne, to raise money for the victims of the Victorian bush fires.
So check out the details in our gig guide and come down to the shows.

In other blackchords news we have also donated a previously unreleased track 'Pretty Little Thing' to Twestival, the global Twitter charity event.
It is a worldwide online music project which aims to raise an additional $20,000 USD for the Twestival Charity Water which aims to provide people around the world with access to clean safe drinking water.
You can also listen and download tracks from over 160 other artists including Bloc Party, Martha Wainwright, Erol Akan, Imogen Heap, Mystery Jets and The Rakes
