Artists: Black Nielson
South Coast five-piece Black Nielson have called it a day after five years of touring and releases.

Posting on their website and mailout, the band said the following:

'This weekend, after much thought and soul-searching Black Nielson decided to call it a day. We have had a wonderful five years of playing and writing together and would like to thank all of you for your support throughout this time. Black Nielson's first live appearance was at Truck 2000 and we thought it apt to come full circle and let our appearance at this year's Truck Festival be our last. Due to this we will not be appearing tomorrow night [tonight, 10th August] at Nambucca as previously advertised, and this will also result in the last album 'Current Sunlight' not being released in the UK.'

The band also posted a link (here) where UK listeners can purchase that elusive last record.

Bad news, great band.

I saw their second to last gig. It was a truck warm up at the cellar in Oxford. I thought they were damn good and I was going to check them out... guess there's no point now.

Re: Black Nielson split

i was at that gig too and thought the new material sounded quite good. It seemed more upbeat than the old material which i always found a bit disappointing on record.

Check out their records.

Sad for exercise one too... They've spent a lot of time and effort advertising this gig, and its a shame they wont be honouring that date...
Oh well... Endings of bands are often sad events...

bollocks.

they were a marvellous band. People should definitely check out the first album, 'still life hear me' and the new album 'current sunlight', both are fantastic albums.

i thought the new album would herald a new start for the nielson's in the uk, they were so good at the truck warm-up show in Southampton...

i wish all members good luck in whatever they choose to do.

Re: Black Nielson split

Re: Black Nielson split
