Black as Blue have been touting their unique brand of intelligent, modern alternative rock since 2007. 

Small-town confines have ensured that this quartet honed their craft and defined their sound way before their move to Brisbane in mid 2011. 

Diverse influences and a desire to defy conventions continue to classify Black as Blue as one of the standout bands of the Brisbane scene.  Their unique sound, comprising of a love for punk, folk, alt rock, reggae and electronic music has already piqued the curiosity of gig goers, resulting in a fervent, energetic and exciting experience. 

This ever-evolving live show showcases the soaring vocals of Greg Olley, James Green’s expressive bass, Jack Harvey’s staccato rhythm guitar and Tristan Pabst’s solid, pounding drums.  

It seems that those years playing Stanthorpe’s garages and bowling allies were certainly preparation for the real thing, being regular fixtures at iconic Brisbane venues like the Zoo, Ric’s and the Tempo Hotel. Black as Blue’s first official EP is set to be released November 2012.
