HEADING NORTH FOR APRIL
Yes, it's been a long time between updates, but we've been undergoing some technological upgrades at Black Guns HQ to ensure that we're able to bring you even more content in the very near future and satisfy your overwhelming hunger for everything Black Guns.
Apart from the techno-upgrades and a stash of rocking new tunes, April sees us head North over the border for another short jaunt to visit our new friends in Albury and Canberra. In Albury we're gonna rip it up with good mates The Devil Rock Four in what can only be described as the show of the century! Then we'll hit the road again and mix it up with fellow M-Towners, Sin City in Canberra at the Greenroom. We got a great reception in both places last time and made a whole lotta new friends who we hope to see out again this time round.
As for our loyal Melbourne brothers and sisters, fret not... we'll be back in town before you know it for an absolute screamer of a gig at Ding Dong on Thursday, 27th April with our mates The Legs. Be sure and mark it down in you diaries because it's gonna be a fucking ball-tearer.

It has been a very long time between drinks but we haven't disappeared off the face of the earth altogether. [Sorry for the lack of updates but we forgot to pay the telephone bill and had the net cut off!]

DAVEY'S LAST STAND
It's over.
And Davey put on a final performance fitting of his place in our biography. A f*cking great show and a bunch of beers later it’s safe to say that Davey’s Last Stand is definitely one of the most memorable shows we've played. Thanks to all the folks who made it down and cheers to all who enjoyed the show enough to let us know afterwards. We got a bunch of positive feed back, which is always cool.
Black Guns wanna publicly thank Davey for all his BLOOD, SWEAT and TEARS over the last couple of months. (And trust us when we tell you there was plenty of all of the above) We would've been f*cked without ya mate. You’re a champ! Have an awesome trip, we’ll keep a six pack chilled for ya.
Although that may have been his last show it aint over for ‘Dimples’ just yet.
We'll be rehearsing this week and dragging the man down to BackBeach recording studio to demo a few tracks before he departs. We’ll get some audio samples of the results up on the site for y’all ASAP.

GOODBYE DUKE OF WINDSOR
Unfortunately the time has come for us to say goodbye to yet another f*cking incredible Melbourne live music venue. We've had many a drunken night and a few decent gigs at the Duke and as our local it's gonna be sorely missed. No choice now but to leg it to The Greyhound or The Espy in St.Kilda.
Black Guns wanna say a big thanks to the folks at Majorbox and The Duke's legendary bar staff for running one hell of a cool place to hang out. You guys rock. Special thanks to Andy for letting us play, being a f*cking gentleman and promoting cool Melbourne bands.
The Duke may be finished but there's plenty more venues and bands that you can get out there and support so get off your ass, grab your mates, head out to the pub and count your lucky stars you live in the rock capital of the world. M-Town - beer and rock’n’roll. Alright!

That's right, the senior citizen of BLACK GUNS is gonna take his vitamin pills, polish his walking frame and don his best threads for an all out, alcohol drenched celebration.
And, if that's not enough reason for ya to come on down, our good mate Paul A is off to Japan to live - and what better way to go out than with a rip snorting night of Aussie rock'n'roll and beer.
Joining us onstage will be fellow protectors of the hallowed rock flame BLACK FRIDAY. This truly will be a momentous night of rock’n’debauchery!
Come down and join the party.
PS - We promise we've got the running times right for this one. Sorry to everybody who left before we hit the stage at Pony.

BLACK GUNS BACK AT PONY
That's right folks. BLACK GUNS are heading back to Pony to headline the Thursday night late shift - it's gonna be epic. Last time we treaded the boards at Pony DD was struck down with a very nasty case of gastro and still has nightmares about his gymnastic 'hovering bowl hose' and the extra-rough toilet paper in the mens lav. That said, we've gotta take some of our dignity back, we’re gonna tackle Pony twice as hard this time. Be there.
Thanks to all for coming down to The Duke on the 21st for a MASSIVE night. Of course a special thanks goes out to Muscles who put in the hard yards to learn our tunes in only a few rehearsals and bust out a great performance, cementing his place in BLACK GUNS history. That was our last gig at The Duke and we're all pretty bummed to have to say goodbye. Onwards and upwards.
See ya at Pony.

We've wrapped up the recording, mixing and mastering sessions for DIG IN, the debut BLACK GUNS EP. Everything went smoothly and we can't wait for y'all to hear the results. The tunes came up sweet and the artwork is an absolute, f*cking ripper. As promised, it's a slice of rock'n'roll dynamite to blow your mind - would you expect anything less?
Once again a giant thanks goes out to Trent 'Buff' Dobson for his sweat and tears steering us through down at Back Beach Studios in Rye. Cheers Trent, we owe ya some cold ones.

1) Dig In
2) Road To Ruin

We're also stoked to get back on the live scene next Friday, 17th June with an epic gig at The Greenroom. Headliners, Black Friday, have organised an absolute corker of a line-up so make sure you bring your drinking boots coz it's gonna be a very messy start to the weekend.

23rd May, 2005
We had two fucking great shows last week. The first was at Pony on Thursday with The New Electric and The Threads - which despite being so late on a school night turned out really cool - and then we finished off our live commitments (for the time being) on Saturday night in Sale... and boy did we go out with a bang! There was more beer and shenanigans at that show than all the others combined thus far - at least Muscles would like to believe that! It was great to play to some new faces and even better to see that rock'n'roll is alive and well out in the country. We can’t wait for our next chance to head back out into regional Victoria. Extra cheers go to the faithful BLACK GUNS road team of Leigh, Lacey and Muscles who put their livers on the line all in the name of rock’n’roll.
That's it for the next couple of weeks on the live scene but let us tell ya, there's no rest for the wicked! We’re spending the live break holed up putting together BLACK GUNS debut EP… and you can be assured it's gonna be an absolute cracker. The CD will contain three tracks of pure rock'n'roll dynamite that have been honed during our live performances this year and we hope to have it available for you to buy at our shows from late June onwards. Stay tuned for an update from the studio coming soon.
Till then…

20 January, 2005
Hi all
It's been an awesome couple of weeks to start 2005.
The set is coming together quickly for our first show and our demo recording at Back Beach Studios in Rye was a total success.
We managed to bash out 5 basic tracks over the course of a LONG 16hr day. Everything was recorded totally live, warts and all - the way rock’n’roll should be, which has created a great vibe on tape.
We’d like to say a big thanks to the man, Trent Dobson, for twiddling the knobs for us. Trent’s an absolute champ and it was an honour to pop his cherry as his first Melbourne band. Thanks also to Mark Rachelle for the guiding hand and the always invaluable advice. Cheers guys, we hope we can get back in the studio for something a little more serious real soon.
If you haven’t already noticed, there has been a total overhaul of the site and some new additions. Firstly, full MP3’s of our demo tracks are available for you to download in the music section of the site so you can all have a listen and tell us what you think. By all means burn em’ off and show your mates if you reckon they’re worthy. If you’ve got a slow connection or just plain can’t be buggered downloading them you can also stream them at BLACK GUNS MySpace.com website. We’ve added a few pics from the studio in the photos section, and of course our guestbook is up and running so you can tell us how rad we are. Please do. Cheers to all those who’ve left kind words so far.
There’s gonna be dates locked in for some shows real soon so keep checking in.

Things are motoring along smoothly for us right now. Apart from finally being online, we're flat out writing new tracks and getting our shit together to bring it to the people. We expect to book our debut show very soon so make sure you keep your ear to the ground.
This year is set to be a big one for BLACK GUNS. We’re intent on spending it working our fingers to the bone spreading the word locally, regionally and interstate.
We’re also excited about hitting the studio in January to record our first demo. We’ll stick some audio clips up here for you to download as soon as we can work out how to do it. We’ve got loads of renovations planned for this site as things get cooking so keep stopping by. Let us know if there’s anything in particular you want to see on the site and we’ll see what we can do. Sorry ladies, no naked photos of Justice... yet!
We’ll see you at a BLACK GUNS show real soon.
Until then… keep on gunnin’!
BLACK GUNS
