Sarah Blackwood walks out of The Creepshow but into Walk Off The Earth (but how?)

So you already know that I enjoyed The Creepshow with their new line up. Since then I've become aware of the circumstances that led up to the changes in the band. Sarah "Sin" Blackwood has left to concentrate on her other projects and the rest of The Creepshow will continue in a slightly different direction.

I don't know how the dynamic in bands works. Her older sister and founder member of The Creepshow, Jen "Hellcat" Blackwood, left on maternity. If The Creepshow was a corporation maybe she could come back?

And surely being the little sister of a founder member must give Sin some security of tenure?

I'd seen the video footage of The Creepshow with Sin in action and would love to have seen this little blonde piece with the big guitar rock out live (in a graveyard by a swamp somewhere) but that's not going to happen. Fortunately, The Creepshow can still cut it so I wasn't disappointed. Just wish I'd been at The White Rabbit when they played there before.


You can hear about in Sin's own words here.

But don't be too sad. A front woman like that won't be without a band, in the same way that nature abhors a vacuum.

Sin is part of Walk of the Earth and Somebody that I used to know is a massive hit, besides being very clever. I had no idea she was part of this until tonight and I am very pleased she's doing so well despite no longer being part of The Creepshow. She's got such a good voice I thought she was Katy Perry or someone off X Factor. I mean that in a good way.

And I thought the bloke who did the chorus was Sting. That's how mainstream and manufactured I thought this little number was when I initially heard it in a cafe on the radio. Didn't stop me liking it, though.

But it isn't manufactured pop. It's a grass roots success made by proper job musicians, chosen by millions of viewers on YouTube.

Sarah's doing just dandy. Still like to see her rock out, though
