BB BLACKDOG MEETS BB BLACK METAL


  
   An excellent night ensued at The Snooty Fox, Wakefield on Friday. This despite the proceedings giving some credence to the law of "what can go wrong, will go wrong". To cut a long story short, it involved, a double booking with metal band Bloodloss, who were destined to play first,travel difficulties and drumkits.

   So what transpired was, that the bill played in reverse order, unfortunately causing some later arriving steampunks to miss BB Blackdog and delaying Bloodloss's lengthy trip home to Surrey.

   That apart, a healthy steampunk gathering really enjoyed splendid performances from BB Blackdog with dancer Demolitia Tribal and also from Gladstone, the latter in only their fifth live show and totally undaunted by their vocalists throat infection.

   With BB Blackdog and Demolitia in top form, really looking forward to the video release based on the show.

   Ever polite the steampunks returned ready applause to the efforts of Bloodloss, who appeared to be excellent deliverers of their genre, however with much sympathy to them, it was, if not neccesarily wrong place, it was wrong time.

  Another excellent three set show was well received on Sunday evening at The Brewery Tap, Derby by a sizeable audience. Notably absent though was, Demolitia, who like some others who had shared air space with Gladstone's singer on the Friday, had thus contracting the fiendish "Gladstonitis".

   A quiet week for the band this week, with just one outing at The South Sea, Spooner Road in Sheffield's Broomhill district. Support is in the form of Red Jester, purveyors of rock,metal,punk.

   For anyone interested in the bands progress in the "Live and Unsigned" competition, they will next perform, this time with an audience! on April 14th at 8.30 in the Riverside Centre, Pride Park Derby. And although the organiser's are asking for eight of your British pounds for a ticket, it would be really nice to create something of a home crowd for the guys. Tickets are available from BB Blackdog.

Going Dutch!

    Hope you managed to catch Dale's slot on vbnavradio last night, a really good relaxed interview, interspersed with a good helping of classic and new BB tunes.   So Thanks to vbnavradio for that. A good music mix from the station generally, you can pick them up at http://vbnav.hopto.org:90/ .   Indeed immediately after Dale's departure last night we were reminded of more youthful years with "No Sheep Til Buxton" and "Beer and Sex and chips n gravy" a couple of "classics" from the infamous "Macc Lads"   Dale of course had to shoot off to the The Bulls Head at Belper Lane End for his weekly open acoustic night.   Whist we are talking Bulls Head, the special BB Blackdog brew, from the attached Shottle Farm Brewery is approaching readiness, so look out for that soon!   Just a reminder that the weekly slot at The Bulls Head does not resume until Tuesday December 3rd now.   The extremely plausible reason for th

School's Out For Summer!

             Oh Yes, it's time for that institution known simply as "Rock and Blues". It has been around in a few different guises for over a quarter of a century now. Reaching it's zenith in the early part of this new millennium when numbers were around the 30,000 mark.            This years event will see only about 10% of those crowd figures, which going by last year's event makes for a nice compact site and a great friendly atmosphere. Another plus is that the Derbyshire weather looks set to make it even hotter than last year.            BB's slot is on The Platform 15 outdoor stage at 1.40pm on the Saturday afternoon and will involve dancers. Metropolis are also forming part of this Steampunk slot. Not certain what the exact plans are yet and I guess it will not unfold completely until Saturday, should be bang on though, with almost two hours allocated.           The set sits neatly in between, the stunt flying display and the parade and prize p

And Life Goes On (You Know It Aint Easy)

      Well firstly, wishing you all a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year, a year bereft of Olympics or Jubilees, how will we fill our days? I feel sure we will all cope. It already looks a great year for live music events on varying scales of grandeuer, lets hope the weather has made a resolution,to smile a little more.       February brings us the Year Of The Snake, indeed to be precise, The Water Snake, noted as quite motivated and intellectual, very determined and resolute about success. So here's to hoping.       One last mention of snakes, this time in human form, to those who saw fit in the early hours of Saturday the 22nd of December, to break into the BB mobile and remove all from within. Two drum kits, the basses, sound system, even the songbook, Demolitia's personnal dance items, merchandising and more. Equipment worth not only in excess of £20,000 but immeasurably more in the value placed upon the items by the four concerned.       It has been my privil
