BLACKSTAR FALLING is delighted to announce the arrival of our new recruit, drummer Dave Sim, a verteran of the Edinburgh music scene.

​

After the success of our EP launch party last November, original drummer and founding member of the band Jack Turner packed his sticks and moved on to pastures new. Jack helped to define the band's post-punk sound with his crisp, tight drumming style. He played on all four tracks on the BEYOND EP and we're glad he was able to stay with us long enough to play at the launch gig. He will be sorely missed.

​

Dave Sim brings a new post-rock influence to BLACKSTAR FALLING. Born and bred in Auld Reekie, he has played not only with a series of strong local bands including Wasted Days, The James Carr Band, The Business and LAF (Lost And Found), but nationally alongside giants such as Nazareth, Big Country, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown and Iain McNabb.

​

Dave brings a larger, looser drumming style to the band, and also his vocal skills - we're very much looking forward to introducing harmonies to our live sound, having already incorporated them in our studio recordings. We're thrilled to be beginning the next chapter of BLACKSTAR FALLING's story with Dave Sim on our side.
