Bertie Blackman

EQ: Hey Bertie - how are you? Don't mind me, I'm just setting up the recording here...Bertie Blackman:Are you recording with your iPhone? See - everyone should record interviews with their iPhone now. I can't believe people are still using little Dictaphones these days... It's so so easy! So tell me, you've been doing promo in the UK for a couple weeks now - how's it been going? I've actually been here since January. I've been writing a lot and starting stuff for a brand new record I'm...Read Full Story

Bertie Blackman remade the 1988 hit from Siouxie & The Banshees called "Peek-A-Boo". She did a great job of updating the song and making it her own. I've got the music video for you, the original edit of the song, and a remix from The Slips. If you are not familiar with Bertie and her music, follow the links at the end of the article for prior posts and free music and videos from Bertie Blackman on Dancefloor Mayhem.

I really really like this Aussie chic's voice.  It's kinda interesting - in that curious sort of way.  Take a listen to her tracks "Heart" and "Thump" from her album "Secrets And Lies" over on her MySpace page.  It's not stomping electro nor is it chart-busting pop, but it's got that Edie Brickell And The New Bohemians feel to it - laid out over some slow burning electronic house that pleases my ears and makes my shoulders sway away.  Totally cocktail inducing music.  I'm drinking a vodka...Read Full Story

Have been enjoying some Bertie Blackman and her latest album Secrets and Lies.  Bertie is from Australia and Black Cats is a pretty great example of her work.  She has an electronic/rock sound that just can't be beat.  In my opinion Black Cats is kinda a sexy track, what's your opinion?BLACK CATS (DOWNLOAD)  Don't forget to visit hardcandymusic.com and let us know what you think of our posts!Read Full Story

In case you haven't heard, EQ Live is tonight and The Dirty Disco have planned a mighty set for all of you in which they will be performing their punchy new single "Sista!".  The band recently put together a little documentary about their life on the road which sees the band performing with I Blame Coco and shows their funny banter with each other - it's a great little clip for those of you whose curiosities have been peaked with The Dirty Disco.

Bertie Blackman continues to amaze me with the release of her new single "Black Cats" which is set for dropping on March 8th. You know what I really like about Bertie...her album tracks alone are solid and very very good, but her remixes are totally out of this world - like KD Lang if you get my drift. Take a listen to the CIS remix of "Black Cats" and I think you'll fall in love with it's shimmery beauty. You can listen to the original too over on MySpace which has a darker, yet totally...Read Full Story

Bertie Blackman Secrets & Lies ••• Forum 5  Much has been made of Bertie Blackman’s transition from alternative rock starlet to electronic goddess, but the transition is not that surprising given Blackman’s track record. Her evolution from demure folk-rock indie sweetheart on first album Headway to grungy rock chick on the follow up Black was just as compelling – if not as radical. On her latest effort Secrets & Lies, Blackman has reimagined her sound completely, and while it doesn’t always...Read Full Story

"Byrds of Prey" is also from the 'Secrets and Lies' album, which was recently nominated for an ARIA award in Australia for Best Independent...Read Full Story

I can't tell you how much I love Bertie Blackman.  She's got that something special which makes you just want to blast her music at full volume in a quiet library.  I'm thrilled to learn that she'll be going on tour with La Roux in March as well - which is great exposure for this musical genius that people are calling "The Aussie Florence". She's recently released a mini-documentary which covers key songs from her astounding "Secrets And Lies" album and it's definitely one to watch.  I love...Read Full Story
