He\u2019ll then take the album on the road in October, touring with the Baby Animals to Newcastle, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, Geelong, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.\u00a0\u00a0<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nBalbi, the former bass guitarist for Noiseworks, Electric Hippies and Rose Tattoo has created a rock album that reflects on where he\u2019s come from and where he\u2019s going. A remarkable story that comes with being the familiar face of one of Australia\u2019s biggest bands of the late \u201880s and early \u201890s, and living the rock \u2018n\u2019 roll dream.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n\u201c<em>Adversity can be the greatest teacher, as long as you don\u2019t give up. In a way what this record is doing, it\u2019s summarising my past and bringing me right up until now, so I can move on in a forward direction. Black Rainbow has an overarching sense of optimism tinged with a hint of darkness<\/em>,\u00a0<em>much like my journey in life so far<\/em>,\u201d said Balbi.\u00a0<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n<em>Black Rainbow<\/em>\u00a0carries a handful of songs written in recent years with Balbi\u2019s former band, Move Trees. There\u2019s also a reworked version of\u00a0<em>Touch<\/em>, a top 5 hit for Noiseworks back in 1988. The album is self-produced, and Balbi has released it via the independent route, with Social Family Records.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nAfter playing bass in Rose Tattoo, Balbi formed hit-making Australian rock band Noiseworks in the mid-eighties. Noiseworks released their self-titled debut album in 1987, becoming an instant success. The album sold more than 200,000 copies and went triple platinum in Australia. Following four Top 10 albums, Balbi left the group with fellow Noiseworks bandmate Justin Stanley in 1993 to form the Electric Hippies. Other collaborations followed, but the enigmatic entertainer with a killer rock voice is now standing tall in his own right, without the safety net of a band behind him. \u00a0<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n\u201c<em>Fear of standing alone, fear of failure always held me back from going it alone. If a band didn\u2019t work, or didn\u2019t make a good recording, there were always other elements to blame. This record and what I do now, it\u2019s all down to me. I\u2019ve learned that the real joy I get these days is from taking risks<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"><strong><a title=\"PRE-ORDER &quot;BLACK RAINBOW&quot; HERE\" href=\"http:\/\/jadensocial.us4.list-manage2.com\/track\/click?u=214cae5d789f97153221a04e8&amp;id=b0b34e1e8e&amp;e=735c1fe774\" target=\"_blank\">PRE-ORDER YOUR COPY OF &#8220;BLACK RAINBOW&#8221; HERE<\/a><\/strong><strong><br \/>\n<strong><a title=\"STEVE BALBI ALBUM SAMPLER\" href=\"http:\/\/jadensocial.us4.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=214cae5d789f97153221a04e8&amp;id=18311c9191&amp;e=735c1fe774\" target=\"_blank\">LISTEN TO THE &#8220;BLACK RAINBOW&#8221; ALBUM SAMPLER HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nBalbi will tour the new album as special guest on the Baby Animals forthcoming<strong>\u201cFeed The Birds\u201d<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>tour, beginning in Newcastle on Saturday 12<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0October.
