Almost over the line
We are sooo damn happy things are starting to take shape here in Blackchords land!!
The Album is almost done. artwork is starting to come through. masters are landing on our desks.
and it is sounding/looking amazing... This record has definitely had a lot of blood sweat and tears poured into it... But we're all very proud of what it has become!
The one thing we can start announcing is that we will be undertaking a national tour beginning in August... We already have ten dates and will be announcing more soon!!
Yaaay!! We'll be seeing you very soon!!

BLACKCHORDS & POZIBLE
So here it is, we are finally about to begin recording Album #2
We are damn excited about sinking our teeth into it and have a new Album out for you early in the new year. There is big list of songs ready to record and in the moments that flow whilst in the studio there is sure to be more.
This time round we’re getting out of the city to record the album. Heading to a big shed close to the Yarra Valley to work with Producer Mark Stanley, surround ourselves with trees, fresh air and remove some of the pressures and distractions that can haunt you in the city.
The Album will be a completely independent undertaking and one of the ways to help fund it is to ask those who have supported the band to become part of the process with us.
To do this we have developed a page on Pozible. It is a “crowdfunding” website, which asks for pledges of money in return for exclusive offers from us, such as pre-order CD's & Digital Downloads, concert tickets, VIP gigs, a signed guitar, plus more.
It’s a new way to help support art which you believe in, there are already thousands of incredible projects in music, visual art, film and theatre that have come to fruition because of the support shown by keen lovers of art, like you.
We hope that you can spare the time to check out our page and we would love it if you could find some spare change to help us get this project running. We're not asking for the whole lot, just a starting point. Please spread the word and help us get a corker of album out to the world!!
Big Love & Thanks,
N.M, Damian, Tristan & Nick

What in the World?
We do sincerely thank everyone for your continued support, and patience.
On another note. We were very privileged to have our song 'Pretty Little Thing' remixed by The Daydream club in the UK, as part of their fantastic Night Remix EP. The song is already getting play on the Radio in the U.K and wish the Daydream Club the best of luck.You can listen and download the song for free by clicking here; and if you haven't heard it, the original can be downloaded for free on our Facebook page.
Alrighty take care all!

On A Perch Waiting...
I think that maybe the time in between blogs is too long… Maybe it is? But hey, thats the way it is….
We are constantly thinking of whats next. Trying to create. Trying to inspire… Trying to live like we wished we might.
Thats what we've always wanted. What we have always believed in.
The difference now is that we (Blackchords) have created something and you guys have payed attention. You have shown great support So now it is time for us to create once again and we hope to inspire once again. This time though we know its not just for us, its for you too!
This time we will be sharing something with the lot of you, and we do really, really hope it will connect and ring true. I've found my self at times going round in circles and at times coming up against walls that I don't think I will ever pass but recently I've realised that there is an art to it. The art is to know what is real and what is not. To keep going when you feel you've had enough and to engulf yourself with the inspiring world around and not to simply switch off and give in to the sea of distractions that can leave you adrift.
At the same time I know that it is well and good to 'know' something but it is something very different to actually do it….
Well I'll let you know how we are going next week sometime when we are locked away in the middle of nowhere with some guitars, microphones, pens, paper and of course a bottle of scotch!!
Oh another thing is that we think it is about time to do some shows, try some new songs and share in a drink. So if you are in Melbourne please come and share an evening with us during this bitterly cold Melbourne winter!
