Black Chrome played as a support act for The Bleeders at their Palmerston North gig @ The Globe on Thursday the 20th of April 2006.
After seeing Black Chrome play live in the Square as a support act for Shihad, I knew that they were the best local act to open for The Bleeders. Within seconds of starting, the crowd left their seats to be as close to the stage as they could get and had started singing along to the songs that they all knew so well. From the word go, Black Chrome proved that they were worthy of this slot and no other band could have worked up the crowd like they did.
With loyal hardcore fans who come to every BC gig moshing it up, it wasn’t hard to get involved in the music and I soon caught myself singing along. You cannot mistake the hard-hitting, power-driven lyrics and hot-blooded music that is Black Chrome.
The PA system at The Globe gave Black Chrome’s music the justice it deserved. Their sound was well-rehearsed and it showed.
Next time these guys play in a town near you, make sure you go along and see them. Seeing Black Chrome play live is something that everyone should experience at least once, although once you have heard them play live you will want to hear them again and again.
Best Black Chrome song of the night: My Band.

I’m Lisa, Muzic.NZ’s founder and manager. I also manage the Aotearoa Music Industry Collective as well as the Aotearoa Rock Community and the Gig Space Facebook groups. Born and raised in New Plymouth, and now based in Palmerston North – I’m married to Adam (our IT guy), and together we have 2 amazing children. Rock is my favourite genre of music, but I enjoy a huge variety of genres from old school hip-hop through to metal, punk, pop, folk and EDM. My advice to NZ musicians is to build yourself a great support network, never be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and talk to other people involved in the music industry. And don’t give up.. as long as you love what you are doing, don’t stop doing it. If you believe in yourself, you can achieve anything. — MUZIC.NZ (MNZ) WEB: https://www.muzic.nz/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/muzicnetnz IG: https://www.instagram.com/muzicnz/ YT:
