Once upon a time there was a girl who had an epiphany of sorts. This epiphany came after years of gentle nudging and outright arse kicking by those near and dear to her.
They said, "You should be a band manager or a promoter or something. Run a club! You'd be good at it."
The girl laughed them off. Yes she loved music, and had a good business head about her but a band manager? Run a club? Surely not. So she dithered away in the corporate world, always keeping up with happenings in the music industry while the seeds that had been sown took root deep in her brain and flourished, slowly changing her outlook on life. One day she met another girl, a redhead just like her with similar tastes and personality but the other girl was the other side of the coin. Complementary.
During a conversation about bands, clubs and the local music scene the seeds that had been gathering strength quietly in the back of the first girl's mind burst forth in a tumult of ideas and strategies all wrapped up in bubbling excitement and rapidly flailing hand gestures. The epiphany struck both of them simultaneously. Before long they were jibbering at eachother, a notebook had been produced, a plan hammered out and thus Black Productions was born.
Those girls were Talisa & Kali Black. Kali the Mad Scientist with a penchant for hot pink, Hello Kitty and good music and Talisa the reformed corporate drone turned Musicologist with her love of cheesy Sci-Fi, anything the colour red and also, funnily enough, good music.
With their mutual adoration of the growing phenomena of Steampunk they went on to produce Australia's first regular steampunk club, Prometheus Bound, which has featured local artists such as HistoriOnyx, Saahirah Ravyn and Mythology. PB continues to build its fanbase and has received inclusion in the venerable Steampunk Magazine as well as endorsement from a steampunk icon, one Dr. Steel.
With the success of their first two clubs, Black Productions has opened its books to band management and has plans for a number of events in and around Brisbane that will showcase, not only the bounty of musical talent that Queensland has to offer, but interstate and international talent as well.
Presently, Talisa and Kali are building their team of hard working and passionate individuals to help make Black Productions a force in the industry.
