New name, new start for Blackwood Jack
NAMING a band is often a difficult task but having to change a band's name can be painful.Luckily for the newly christened Blackwood Jack, they realised they had an issue with their original name in the early days of their career.
Originally called Blackwater Rise, the Warrnambool blues-rock trio soon discovered there was a Brisbane blues-rock trio called Blackwater Fever.
"Their manager sent us a big long email saying they'd done this and this and made us feel a little bit small (in comparison)," bassist Daniel Paroissien said.
"We thought about it and realised it was probably for the best that we change our name.
"But it took so long to think of a name that all of us liked in the first place," he laughed.
The name change came at the right time - Blackwood Jack have only been together for about nine months and have just released their debut EP, which will be launched at The Loft in Warrnambool tomorrow night.
The power trio features vocalist-guitarist Ben Cue and drummer Talen Galbraith - and if that last surname sounds familiar it's because this band has a healthy connection to one of the region's best-loved bands.
Galbraith is the son of Blue Heat drummer Barry Galbraith. His uncle Graeme plays bass for Blue Heat as well.
In fact, Blackwood Jack pretty much formed in order to support Blue Heat. Cue and Paroissien had been jamming together, as Paroissien and Talen Galbraith, so it made sense for them to combine their talents, Paroissien said.
"We're pretty lucky in that regard - Blue Heat have taken us under their wing a little bit," he said.
Blackwood Jack have also supported Chris Wilson at one of his Melbourne shows. In fact, the Warrnambool trio have played in Melbourne more than they have on their home turf.
The band also had a good run recently on Triple J's Unearthed charts, and they're hoping with the release of their EP that it will help get their name out more, leading to more Melbourne gigs and hopefully some festival slots, Paroissien said.
The self-titled EP was recorded at Smith Sound in Naringal and showcases Cue's influences of Creedence Clearwater Revival, old-school blues, Ray LaMontagne and classic Motown acts.
Blackwood Jack will perform at The Loft in Warrnambool tomorrow with support from Leah Senior and The Eastern Front. Doors open 9pm.

Their dark debut ‘Sweet Misery’ received continuous praise from the Australian music press. There was airplay and interviews on JJJ, RRR, FBI, RTR, ABC and 4ZZZ. It was a feature album on PBS radio and made waves across to US college radio. HBO featured tracks, reaching over 38 million US viewers, used for their summer Cinemax campaign … and oh yeah it was voted best Australian release on Polish radio 2009! It is released in Australia, Europe and Japan. A harrowing growl, a tortured electric guitar and the rhythmic stomp of an unrelenting drum kit. If you close your eyes you can almost smell the swamp and feel the moonlight on your face. It’s hard to believe such an atmospheric, blues-heavy sound comes from just two guys. Breaking your heart one minute only to pick you up with an irresistible rocker the next, this Australian duo are a live experience not to be missed.
