Waltz N Black is a four piece Rock/Funk band from Central Coast, New South Wales. They started in 2006 when Lead guitarist Matt Stalgis began a new group with bassist, Josh O’Brien, both ex members of “The Juicers.” During the first 5 to 6 months Matt and Josh spent time writing and composing while they searched for a drummer. This was a drawn out process, finding the “Perfect” drummer for Waltz N Black, but luck was with them, Matt’s Father mentioned drummer Grant Molloy. After one jam it was apparent that Grant was that drummer. Their final missing link was to find a new and notable vocalist.

Over the next few months they tried several vocalists, then, Grant rang Vocalist, Sean Thomson, who sung for a local band named “left undecided.” Lucky for Waltz N Black, Sean’s band had ended a few months before this and Sean was looking to join another local act. After the band members were appointed it was then that they chose Waltz N Black as their band name, a random choice that was inspired from a track title on a CD, a case of “close your eyes and point”, whichever name they pointed to would be their one of choice.

Since late 2007 Interstate work has been priority, recently performing at gigs in Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, while also performing at local N.S.W venues. Waltz N Black drew ongoing response from fans calling for an Album, as well as gaining a new-found popularity at International level which has only been enhanced by their stable placement on the myspace charts with 3,000 plays per day at their myspace site.

Having reached
Number 5 International myspace Funk Chart
Number 2 Australian myspace funk chart
Number 2 Australian myspace other genre chart
Number 8 Australian myspace Rock Chart
Number 24 International myspace other genre Chart
Number 21 Australian myspace all genres chart

All chart positions are dated June 2008, and correct at time of print.

Finishing their recording for 13 track debut album in June 2008 at Studio 52, Melbourne, with launch tour planned to start in September 2008, New South Wales, then, Victoria, South Australia and Queensland. The Album titled “Fat Cats” is an album that has remained the core of who Waltz N Black are, and that is, an energetic act. If you hear it on the album, you will hear it live. An album with drive and dynamics, from one song to the next, a spirited and riff filled album.

From song to song, vocally, the presence of a chameleon graces the stage, Sean’s vocals alternate and shift with such colour and vibrancy. Pop slap sounds of the Bass Guitar that partition rock and Funk, to provide rhythm undertones that grace fans with funky sounds. Lead Guitar riffs that call to attention the Rock basis that make a band come to life, while also meeting the bass to compliment that true funky feel. Drums in Waltz N Black are crisp and punchy; solid beats with fancy fills, just where needed. Waltz n Black caters to solid and committed live performances that relate to people and is for the people. Waltz N Black remains a people’s band with their attention continually on the most significant of high end entertainment.

does anyone know how the myspace charts work? (LINK)

May 10th 2008 11:38

Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone knows exactly how the myspace music charts work. Some things do not ring true.

For example...
At the moment we are number 7 in the Australian Funk Charts and number 87 in the Worldwide funk charts.

Which automatically states that there are six acts above us in the Autralian charts.
Shouldnt that mean that they are listed in the Worldwide charts but they are not there.

Then...there is a N.S.W band top 30 in the world wide funk charts, 1 friend, zero plays and only 21,000 page views.

We have over 7,000 friends, 65,000 page views and over 2,500 plays for the day.

Does anyone know exactly how they work this chart thing, because no matter how we look at it, it just does not ring true.

How can a band with no plays, no friends and less views be higher in the charts that a band with more.

Is it time based?
Plays over time?

If anyone knows the correct answer...please buzz me.

And, we have emailed myspace themselves with little, minimal or totally different answers.
