Howdy Foks.

Regular readers know the scoop, when the posts are quiet, we're busy Doing Stuff.

I'm in pre production for the EFLH night and I'm reviewing colours, videos, images and all sorts of stuff to synchronise with the live performance and other elements.

Like I said, if you miss this night you'll, err, well, um, miss the night and we're working our Tushies off to make it a truly wonderful evening. May 14. go get some tickets now. https://www.stickytickets.com.au/24279/stormcellar_%40_django_bar.aspx

Meanwhile, this week we're working on Live Performance Elements and the programming of the system that will control the motorised lighting.

That raises the question - what colour is that song?

Trying to match the 'feeling' of the song to colours and then program the little devices that will make the pretty lights, is quite a job.

Fortunately for us we have a captive technology Gnome. Unfortunately, that's me.

I'm gonna be reading the manual for this thing for days.

Behold! Ye Prophecy sort of be Coming True-Eth! Yea verily was it foretold that Original Australian music shall return, the once and future king. Rumours swirl of a mainstream inner city venue now dedicating itself to Original Music on Weekends. Such signs! Such Omens! The roadie of the lake emerges, the mystical Guitar named 'Extremelylongsolo' hath returned and lo were the punters kind of impressed, what with the whole mystical Arthurian trip that the writer of this post was on. And yea was it considered 'cute', and did they then think 'hey, maybe I should go out and like see some new stuff' and yea it was all good. A-moo. Woof!

Yay we're gonna go back to Oberon!

This coming Saturday night, 28 march, we make the trek across the Blue Mountains to the spectacular undiscovered country at the foot of the mountains.

We love playing at the Oberon RSL. The drive alone is worth it :-)

Free entry, from 8:30 saturday night.

My mate Adrian used to live across the road from the Marlborough. Adrian was the kind of guy who, when he gave you a nick name, it stuck. I send a shout out to Vertical, case in point.

Anyway, he used to call the Marlborough, 'The fridge'.

'Oh really', I hear you ask. 'why was that'

'That's where I keep me beer'

(boom ching, thankyou, we're here all week doing examples of laconic Aussie humour)

Anyway, after the anecdote, I'm playing Harp with a gal with a knock out voice. No hang on.

Ms Alex Hahn, a gal with a knock out voice, is playing tomorrow night (thursday) at the Marlborough, and she's invited me to join them.

Free, from 7:30, rockabill/blues and other stuff - she did a rockabilly version of tainted love that was sweeeet.

My first gig at the Fridge. Adrian will be stoked.

WOOT! Bukhu and Geoff are confirmed for our special multimedia installation/art piece/musical show on May 14.

I will keep saying this - if you dig our stuff, don't miss this night.

No one is stopping me from having as much fun as I can organise, and I say so myself, I can have a lot of fun. Maybe ALL the fun.

Geoff is going to play a brand new Cello composition written specially for him. It will be bonkers. CELLO! AWESOME!

Bukhu is keen. he likes the song. he's gonna be there. if you haven't seen Mongolian Singing first hand, you're gonna be 'wow that was really neat'. He is also one heckof a fiddle player.

Dr Tom is programming motorised lights.

I'm making video montages

Whether it's Glory or Hindenburg, it's not to be missed. May 14, Django Bar, get your tickx.

I'll keep reminding you because I want you there, just in case I never get it all together like this again.

I'm gonna keep on plugging it, I know you'll thank me afterwards. Probably. maybe.

Hell yeah!
