BlackWater
Hard working Nelson metal band who play a mix of hard hitting originals, classic hard rock and metal covers.
The Blackwater story
Blackwater came into being around 2008 when
guitarist Jayden Gilchirst paired up with drummer Jason O'donnell . They
were soon joined by guitarist and bass player Hayden Stamp where they
worked hard on delevoping a good mix of classic hard rock/metal covers
and original tunes. Finding a suitable front man proved challanging but
in 2010 they stumbled across Teejay Crowe bellowing out some tunes in a
cafe and the scene was set, BlackWater was here!
2011 saw drummer Jason O'donnell move on leaving some rather large boots
needing to be filled. Taking a bit of a gamble they recruited promising
young drummer Hayden Phipps and 2012 saw BlackWater play numerous
private functions, several pub gigs as well as the Tasman band tour and
battle of the bands. Due to other commitments
