Studious Times




      Axel and Dale should have completed the long trip to Lubeck by the time you are reading this. The purpose of the trip is to spend the month in the studio recording more tracks and polishing some of the exsisting material as we mentioned last week.

      With a concentrated period available for working on recording projects, the yield will hopefully be of a rewarding nature. We will try and keep abreast of progress and update next week.

       Whilst the output from these sessions will be much anticipated, it does inevitably mean no UK shows this month, not sure if the schedule may allow for an outing around Lubeck at some point yet.

       Dale did leave an update on Monday, detailing where abouts we are regarding equipment replacement on the facebook page http://www.facebook.com/?ref=tn_tnmn#!/BBBLACKDOG?fref=ts.

      If you would like a quick peruse of the new merchandise, it can be found at http://www.reverbnation.com/store/store/artist_1103942?item_type=merchandise.

      So with no BB shows this weekend, if you live in Northern England or if you fancy a longer jaunt, there looks to be rewarding new Steampunk event at The Gateshead Central Library, entitled "Anachronism" running from 10am through until four in the afternoon, which is quite handy for travel purposes and handsomely priced at £5. Music coming from Birthrite and Gladstone. http://www.facebook.com/gatesheadlibraries/posts/10152384968195287.

      Talking of Birthrite and Gladstone, they will be together again at "The Day Of the Dog" event, joining many more including BB in what will probably be their next appearance, on April 13th at The Fishpond, Matlock Bath. https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/445535842180074/.

       Details also out this week for Steampunks In Springtime, The Cornish event, now in it's second year and in a new home at "The Labyrinth" near Looe, featurin BB and Lord Montague Jaque Fromage see http://i26264.wix.com/lsse#.

       Inbetween these events BB are also journeying back to Germany for "Aethercircus" in Stade near Hamburg on the first weekend in May and details emerging for that one now at http://aethercircus.blogspot.co.uk/.

    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
