First Review for Carl's Chair is in and OMG its not Blues!!!

John at the Blues Underground Network kindly reviewed Carl's Chair and decided it wasnt a Blues album, more Alt Country & Roots. Oh the shame, the ignominy, the...well, he has a point.

Carl's Chair was our Experimental between-albums EP...ok...Album..and so we felt like we had some latitude and well, the songs go where the songs go and...anyway, enough out of me. In an age where you just can't control the media (Wikileaks still owes us a review!! Assange, you never called!) we are just going to have to go with the flow. Here's Johns review:

"There are certainly a lot of unique and creative ideas that lead to not only the names of Albums, but also the way they were recorded. "Carl's Chair", the latest release from the Australian band Stormcellar, is certainly no exception to that rule. You see the title of this Album refers to a chair that is owned by Carl 'Golden Roadie' Silverswaard. The significance of the chair is that it was used as the focal point for the recording of this Album, which was recorded Live "on the porch of 'Burgoon', a 100 year old Farmhouse in Cumnock, New South Wales", June 28th - July 1st, 2010. Carl's Chair, as you might imagine, goes everywhere with Carl and the Band.

Taking it back to the streets - Crown Gig Report

Howdy Folks. We spent a fun filled Friday night at the Crown Hotel on Elizbeth St. I took a few shots on a quiet Friday night in town

Mr Wizard has wanted to try doing some music in the Sydney CBD, so with our recent trip to the Manhattan Lounge and now with the Crown shaping up as a regular venue, it looks like we're on the way.

The previous weekends gig with Fettler was pretty special and it would have been hard to top that on Friday, but we gave it our best shot, without the help of one of our Southern Belles, Ms Mika, who joined us for some harmonies

We had a lot of friends come out on Friday so the most important thing I can do is to thank some folks: Oye, Mika, Frank, Ed, Gary, Michelle and Fred, amongst others. Ed last saw us up in Tamworth, so it just goes to show its a small msuical world huh? Cheers guys, thanks for coming out and making the night a good one.

Hamonica players album cover proving that Harp players are Players, yeah baby!

Here's a Harp Player proving that Guitarists don't get all the chicks. Note the completely awesome hairdo. Mr McCoy, we salute you!

No wonder he gets the chicks.

Stormcellar at the Crown Hotel Friday 18th Feb, 8pm

We're back on deck again this weekend in the City on Friday night at the Crown Hotel in Elizabth St, 8pm.

Now i remember why we do this stuff! Despatches from the Bald Rock

Morning everybody. Yep, its late (early?). Boy was that fun. As Tinka says, Fettler makes everyone step up a level (change in energy states may lead to emitting a photon! Its all quantum at the Bald Rock).

As promised, the Devil Came to White Bay as Fettler sat in for tonights entire set. We were also joined by the formiddable Vicki Nick.

So that's two differnt muso's that basically stole our show, leaving us well pleased with the theft. What a grand evening.

During a quick jam moment I joined the rest of the audience so I could get some footage. Wish I had more, but I still needed to do some playing as well, dagnabbit.

That was a true fusion of different stuff tonight and a rare moment. Our greatful thanks go to Fettler and Vicki for making such a night of it.

Stormcellar: Cheap Hotel Videoclip

Howdey folks. Here's a videoclip we made for the song 'Cheap Hotel' from Carl's Chair, compiled from the bits of last three years worth of video blog footage. Making stuff with puppets was way easier...You might need to go full screen on this one to get the effect.
