Stormcellar Band Home Page

Howdy Folks. 

I drove on the streets of Sydney for the last two days, people are driving like they're anxious. 

No kidding, I think I saw potential accidents, fast driving, reckless behaviour beyond any normal stuff I see. If accident stats back this up in a while, well, I'll cite a source to confirm my suspicions :-)

As someone who knows the country of Anxiety like a stone age hunter, I can recognise the signs.

Breathe in, breathe out.

One day, some years ago, I drove along Enmore road, or somewhere like it. I had enough on my mind to feel preoccupied.

 I saw a rainbow over the semi industrial buildings, in the rain.

We lost Leonard Cohen this week too, amongst the other tumult of the times. I like to think he'd appreciate the sentiment in this song.

The stormcellar is a place of safety in a time of danger. Come down and join us, we'll give you shelter from the storm.

With due credit to the Black Swan Principle, holy crap.

Also, gig still on. Right? Right.

Bring on the rapture, we got a gig.

Ross is a true champion of Australian music and has been very kind to us over the years.

Tonight, Bill will be doing his first interview for the band! 

Mr Wizard and Bill will be on from 9pm, listen in via the web.

Tonight, 9pm 8 Nov AU time

We're driving inland to Dubbo this weekend for a show at Old Bank. Maybe that's the safest place to be after the US election.

According to our mates in the 'states, election of either candidate spells Doom, so get out and boogie with your friends in the stormcellar before the apocalypse arrives down here.

No matter who wins, no matter if the end is Nigh:

1. We're far away enough for the gig to still be on.

2. We're the home of Mad Max so we're all OK with post apocalypse lifestyle living! MMM Dogfood good!

3. I'll be snarky if the world comes before we finish mixing the new album.

4. Even if the world ends, we'll still be gigging on the smouldering pile, as long as I can find a decent soundo.

Meanwhile chuck crossbow in the back of your ute and come out to a gig. Lord Humungus just hit 'going' on facebook.

Hey Sliders.

I finally got around to doing my promised J-band blog thanks to Bassist Peter Crompton,who helped me edit and proof read.

Many of you know my personal fascination for Japanese Pop, Rock and Metal, with its no boundaries approach.

After a chat with Peter, I thought it was time I put some resources up on the web that aren't just copy and paste from wikipedia.

These musicians and their styles have influenced my writing a lot, and keep doing so.

I am constantly amazed at the skill, musicianship and passion the Japanese music scene has. We could do with a bit of that down here, in particular their audience participation.

The page will be updated as new acts come to light. If you have some time and want to see some great stuff, check out the new section here.

Keep on sliding.

Mr Wizard.
