| Blacksails |
| What's Blacksails about? Blacksails is an online zine, that is here to provide information about the latest happening's around the world. Also provide infomation about music, in the punk, hardcore scene's of Australia. And information about portest, demostrations and alot more. Tape Trade Scene: The internet is one of the best resources to ever be invented (when used correctly), it allows people to share large amounts information, idea's etc. Why tape trade? It is easy, cheap and almost anyone can get their hands on a tape player/recorder. Why not? Gig Collective: I'm always looking around at many different thing's online, and I came across a website that talked about a gig collective. It was a group of people meeting regularly and organising shows and tours for their area. I would really like to give something along the lines of this a go; or even start a Food Not Bombs, any kind of collective that I've got interests in. Top 'O' Judges: In my home town, we don't have alot of venues. We use to be able to have about 4 or 5 different plays where we could put shows on, now we're down to 2, one a local youth and community venue and the other a leagues club. There's not much room for people in these venues with political ideals, nor many people in our community. We decided to organise a free show on the top of a carpark, it went really well and since then we're looking to do it again on a regular basis. More info. Other events: At the moment I'm trying to organise a tour from a band from Brazil that goes by the name Sick Terror. I'm also busy trying to organise "Punks Against Fascism" an all day event with 14 bands. I'm trying to organise regular shows around Sydney, if your interested let me know. I will try and keep the website as updated as possible with upcoming events, issues and news. What about other forms of collectives? info coming soon... Who am I? I am a concerned citizen that wants people to know about thing's happening around the world and on their own door step, and we should take actions to make this world a better place. I really enjoy music, playing bass, fitness, sports/martial arts, socialising, making new friends and spending time with my gf.

| WHAT ARE SOME ISSUES YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE APPEAR ON HERE? I would like to put together a few articles about different issues. At the moment I'm currently working on a vivisection article for the website to provide people with facts, details and arguments for and against vivisection. I'll try and keep it as non bist as possible. Though what would you like to see here? Talk about War on Iraq, capitalism, fascism, feminist, martial arts, music, child abuse...??? Send me a email and let me know. |
| Do you like to write? I'm looking for people to help contribute to the website and more projects to come over the next few months. You must have a good general knowledge of current events, music and politics. If your interested email me. Return of The Dead? I'm not talking about some horror film flick, I'm talking about Blacksails zine. Over the next few months we might see a new issue of Blacksails, and being available to order online!! Though we can't get our hopes up, there is alot of work ahead in all areas of Blacksails. Anyone who wants to review some music, show, send in letters or get involved; email me. Last year I printed out a few pages and handed out a small group of my friends, it was titled "Blacksails Community News" as I look back that was a very important thing that I done and it was very easy (though wasn't cheap). This is I might be able to print out more copies easier. I will also try and work out a way to make it able for you's to download of the site. Punks Against Fascism: See what all the fuss is about. |
| YES! BLACKSAILS IS FINALLY BACK AFTER OVER HALF A YEAR (MAYBE MORE). I deleted alot of information when I ended Blacksails last year. I don't think I will ever be able to restore the site back to what it once was, so I'm going to aim more into a new direction (as I wanted to do by the last year). There is alot of updating to be done to the website, so keep coming back. Thanks; SGx |
