Stormcellar Band Home Page

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.

Ok, so while we were getting our tour plans together, someone suggested something very interesting.

All those plans from last week? yeah. well. Which direction you're going in depends entirely on viewpoint :-)

Yeah not saying anything yet. We'll see what happens.

Meanwhile, Mr Wizard keeps bringing a guitar over. There's work to be done.

We may even see some video this week if we're lucky.

Oh yeah and I'm tweaking the website again. 

If you haven't noticed it's either because I haven't done it yet or it worked.

Nor does it produce pics.

But it does occupy time.

And so:

Salon Project - Mr Wizard's ready to try a new one, there are others in development. It will land when it lands. Last one took me 9 months remember, hmm?

US Tour - work proceeding. First fundraiser coming together. 

Be Who You Are Project - First video now in secondary edit.

We've also got two festivals coming up.

Here's the first art for the KBARM! 

Also I'll be messing with the site and stuff. Expect things to sort of work.

Another job done!

Video was out before the single was available, now, you can download your very own copy right here!

Considering that we have no shows this month I'm still pretty busy.

Organising US tour #5 is underway and roughly on schedule.

I'm trying to do this in a way that doesn't cause the crazy stress we've had in previous years by doing it slowly and methodically.

Breathe in, sign form.

Breathe out, look up insurance.

Yes, welcome to the world of the Self Propelled Artist. Oh yeah. More on that in a bit.

Project Status's's's's's

Salon Project - trying to organise the next session. We've got one song in production now, it needs more cowbell.

MUCH more cowbell. Or the metaphorical equivalent.

This project will likely diverge into SC12/13. I think. The whole idea is to get on with it and then release them in whichever grouping makes sense.

Every album has a theme, we got the next one.

I fricking love crossfire, it's made better by the energy and creative input from our mates. Now I'm slightly scared because that one turned out perhaps...a little too well. Now we gotta work harder.

Anyway. Next.

LOPE Project - Aww come on gimme a break here I barely just sorted accom for Memphis next year

Alright. Fine.

Tech. I'm in tech land. I did the research, now I need test subjects, a date, gear, more testing. 

Videos -  I could not get Rosie to go along with my ideas for the Lady Grey Video, part of the Sydney Identity Project. Yeah well we get done what we can. He gave me that look. That Rosie look.

Mr Wizard also gives me that look. You know who doesn't?...well...often? THEO.

Expect more videos about the drummer, Yeah you heard me.

Ok. So here's how it's gonna be for a while. We're going to opportunistically attempt 'things' which means I don't know which 'things' exactly will occur, exactly, in which order, exactly.

I know that it's still pretty crazy in the mind space of the general world, hopefully every time you spend a few minutes in the stormcellar you come away with a little breather from it all.

Here's the video again cos I am digging it.
