Thanks Robin, you gave us freedom to be weird.
There are certain comedians who are fundamental to our grasp of the universe and our ability to reconcile its joy and sadness.
On behalf of the band, I'd like to doff a metaphysical cap and use a strange accent to express our sadness at his passing.
Ever forward, onward traveller.
Just got a note asking if Bill Lupkin can sit in with us at our gig in Fort Wayne.
Can he ever.
Old school, hard core. Enjoy.
Yes I'm posting a bit tonight.
Here's another clip from our US Tour fundraiser.
Big thanks to Jack Millar.
Yet to come - 3 wise men, Michael Hawke, Mal Eastick & Milena Barrett, Dave Tice Band.
Yeah I'm gonna be busy. It was a great day of music.
Rosie just texted me to remind me that the doco the ABC made about Kaye's funeral was on air.
In the midst of artwork, budgeting, prepping, planning, a single memory takes the wind right out of your sails.
Bugger. Has it been a year already.
Our love goes out to Theo and to Kaye's family.
Howdy Folks.
Once again we're in progress of sorting our US tour and as per usual, I don't say too much about it because we live in a fluid and dynamic environment. Whatever that means.
But dear Reader, over the years of reading this blog, you may remember our propensity for Random stuff.
We have a few 'downtime' nights on our tour and we decided to try a random We'll Play Anywhere add in Craigslist, a site renowned for Garage Sales and Saucy Hookups.
Rosie thought the ad was legendary and asked me to post it.
(BTW if you're a Craigslister responding to the ad, welcome! Yes, we're for real. Look around, don't be scared, play a few vids, read some random blogs)

Ever wanted a band to turn up from the other side of the planet and rock your house/garage/living room/seminary/secret lair? Want to appear on their Tour T Shirt? Maybe a Selfie?
Roots/Blues/ Boogie band Stormcellar from Sydney (Australia) are on tour through the Midwest and we have some free nights that we want to fill.
No strings, no catches, no weird stuff (unless you're into that sort of thing, in which case please see our ad in the personals. You cheeky thing). You provide the space and preferably a few mates and we'll make the noise.
Yep, have a modern Canned Heat style band make a racket in your pad/club/pub.
Got a PA? Even better! Got space for a 6 piece band? You beauty!
Check our stuff at www.stormcellar.com.au and if you think it'd be fun, drop us a line and tell us you've got some space and some buddies.
We're looking for something in the St Louis MO area on Thursday 4th or Saturday 6th September.
And remember, strangers are just friends you haven't loaned money to yet!
Prospective responders should be aware band is fully house trained, but not yet neutered or spayed. Low allergenic. High fructose. Baa!
I'll try this ad in a couple of locations and see how we go. Should make for some interesting times.
We're off to see the wizard!
Starting off with the next vid. This from the fundraiser.
I have a synch prob (my bad) between my static and mobile cam so I have to reconcile 23.92 vs 29.97 (woe unto me) which will take some editing freakery or I can just run the single cam takes for the next vids.
Rookie mistake. Sad face.
Anyway. Here's the boys testing out the sound.
