The name came from a German trademark of drawing material, which was of great influence in the life of the band members.
In 2007, they released their debut album, Big Deal, on the label Monstro Discos. After the album release, the band toured Brazil. In the same year, they opened for Nashville Pussy, their idols, which became a frequent tradition. The band had already played side-by-side with bands like The Datsuns, Motörhead and Eagles of Death Metal.
In 2009, Black Drawing Chalks released their second album, Life Is A Big Holiday For Us, again with the Monstro Discos label, after a tour in Canada, where they played on Canadian Music Week.
With frequent media exposition, long tours and playing in big Brazilian festivals, the band got three VMB09 (Video Music Brazil 2009) nominations, in the categories Aposta MTV (MTV Prospect), Rock Alternativo (Alternative Rock) and Videoclipe do Ano (Best Music Video), with the song My Favorite Way.

Black Drawing Chalks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you're not, you can't take any girl for you
You are the only man in the world
Show who's the boss, prove that you deserve
You should know
Those things must go on
It's time to go
All those girls want to be a man
Move your gun and retire their hands
Just let your third leg show the way
Save the world, it can't be same
You should know
Those things must go on
It's time to go
Everybody, take your clothes off now
Show your body, 'cause the one has come
You should know
Those things must go on
It's time to go
Move and be strong
The lyrics to Black Drawing Chalks's song "The Legend" is a representation of a culture that thinks masculinity is determined by the ability to attract women and display dominance over them. In the first stanza, the lyrics suggest that in order to be desirable to women, one must first be cool. The use of the word "boss" implies the need to be in control and prove one's worth. The second stanza involves a crude use of language when it suggests that to be a man is to have a gun and be able to dominate women. The use of "third leg" is meant to be a sexual innuendo and implies that to be a man is to have a large penis. The last stanza speaks to the notion that one should take their clothes off and show their body because it is time to start being a man.
The song is a commentary on the hyper-masculine view of society that is often portrayed in media and entertainment. It speaks to a society where men are judged based on their ability to attract women and display dominance. In this society, women are often objectified and reduced to a sexual object. The use of crude language throughout the song is meant to shock and highlight the toxic masculinity that is often portrayed.
