Ye gods, be careful what you wish for.

We've had a really, really welcome period of downtime. 

As of next week, it gets hectic.

I was talking to Millage this morning my time, was good to hear him laugh his butt off when I described the trials and tribulations of an Aussie band getting ready to tour the US again.

He said, 'we're in it now' :-) True.

When I say 'downtime' I mean no gigs. I'm still at full speed on getting ready, even dropping out a new song yesterday.

Almost too busy to blog :-)

Almost.

Heh.

Yeah more when I get a minute to think.

Or I got something to say.

or not.

Terry is a sharp writer, with a deft run of phrase and developed style of his own that's somewhere between Brit Pop sounds and Australian Indy Rock.

It's worth celebrating another artist getting on with it. Respect.

If you like smart Indy sounds you're gonna like Terry Lyndon

Just got the next Salon project defined.

Mr Wizard has one, there are a few others in development.

'Crossfire' was in writing for ages and was in 9 months worth of logistical attempts before it all happened in a rush.

There's no way to get your 2 year parmesan out before it's ready. Cos it don't taste right.

Patience is a factor. It's gonna take the time it takes to get it right.

On behalf of all those poor buggers I read about who are knocking themselves out trying to feed the algorithm, remember the cheese.

Not all 'creators' produce stuff over night. Some times it actually takes time.

Can't rush the cheese.

Big Ups to Elsa and Dion, the first session of the BWYA project is now in Rough cut.

I'm not sure if we'll release this version publicy, it will still take a few more shoots to get what we want, but Cellar Dwellers and Subscribers will get a guersney.

A lot went wrong in camera sadly. That happens some times. 

The camera person who was dedicated to filming Rosie got bored and started looking all around the room at anywhere but the guitar solo.

Dion's exasperated editors plea was 'Pick a subject and stay on it! Pick something to look at!' lol. Yeah i feel ya.

Framing problems, some de-synch and random battery on/offs. (sigh)

Yeah, love it.

It's hard for me to be off stage making this work and On stage doing the song.

Once again, we'll adjust and try again.

There's still some excellent bits, or so I am told.

We're scheduling session 2 in November, and with some patience, further producing and organisation, I expect we'll see the right stuff emerging in the next six months.

Making good stuff can take a proper amount of work. No shortcuts other than luck :-)

Even getting this far on this session has taken...6 months? Anyway.

I am adequately occupied with getting the tour together and trying to schedule the next work items, such as the next salon projects.

It's a good time to get an assistant.

Told you I've been busy.

Ahem.

It's our great privilege to announce that Stormcellar will be touring with Millage Gilbert in the US in 2020 as part of our 5th US tour.

Millage is a living legend and one of the last remaining direct links to Delta Blues and the great Blues period of the 1940's-1970's - and Millage is still keeping the blues vibrantly alive.

We were fortunate to work with, write for and record with Millage in Kansas City in 2014 and we're stoked to be able to revisit these vibes in 2020.

More details when I get them.
