This Friday 4th Dec, Sarah will be performing live on TripleJ as part of Robbie Buck's farewell show. Tune in between 6am-9am.

Sarah wins an ARIA! Congratulations to Sarah on winning the ARIA award for best female artist. I think it was a well deserved win for our Sarah and I'm sure there are more awards in the future.

Anyone noticing the camera's at the recent Enmore Theatre show will be pleased to know that it was for a show that is going to be broadcast on JTV on the ABC, 30th November. It's also going to be played as part of the Live at the Wireless series at some point in the future.

The video for All I Want has been nominated for an Inside Film Award. You can vote for the video if you are registered on the site by going to the IF Awards Website, clicking the 'Rate It' button for all I want and selecting the score you want.

A fantastic recording of Sarah's recent UK show at the Borderline in London has been sent to me. It is available in the Media section and is a superb showcase of Sarah's live talents. A great taster for all those of you who have tickets for the upcoming Australian Tour.

With only three weeks since it's release and 'As Day Follows Night' has already gone Gold. With gold requiring 35,000 copies sold, it's clearly being a big hit with old and new fans alike.

As Day Follows night has entered the ARIA Australia Chart at number two this week, which is fantastic news and a well deserved placing. The album went in at position 5 overall.

For anyone wanting the lyrics for the album, myself along with one or two on the forum have been transcribing them as best we can. We've come up with what we think are a pretty accurate set of lyrics, which can be found in the discography section above. Many Thanks to Laura for her help with this.

Check out the newly redesign www.sarahblasko.com. The new site has been updated for the new album and includes some new features, such as the videography featuring the videos going to over the current and previous album.

Sarah is due to be on Sunrise this Friday morning (10th July). If you miss the show you will be able to watch it afterwards on the Sunrise website.

Apologies to everyone looking in the diary. I'd put the Perth show down as being in October, when it is in fact in November. Hopefully this hasn't caused too much confusion.

Triple J have chosen As Day Follows Night to be the featured album of the week for this coming week. Sarah will be appearing on the station tomorrow at 7:30am to chat about it.

There have been a couple of amendments to the upcoming shows. I've removed the incorrect Perth shows and added two new dates. One of these is for a show in Queensland, the other in Stockholm!

More good news for those fans that are based outside of Australia. The limited edition special of As Day Follows Night has now been made available for pre order with international shipping options. Head over to www.asdayfollowsnight.com.au and click on the international shipping link. There was only 1,000 of these specially signed packs being made available, so make sure you get yours sooner rather than later.
