Live they deliver energetic retro feel with new edge. Sharp observation brimming with rich harmonies, humour & social comment.



Formed in 2007 after epic individual and diverse musical careers - incubated and matured in a wild cesspool of clubs pubs and concerts.

From the smudged mascara 80s on through genres new romantic rock, punk, ska, jazz, country, childrens to stage musicals,film theatre & TV.

Don’t wait for the book. 

Values in life shape the core of Blakhatz music.
