Stormcellar Band Home Page

I've been doing some research on touring and had a terrific conversation today that I thought was only ever had in pre-scripted comedy segments.

ME: Hi, we're interested in touring and wanted to get some info on backline hire.

THEM; Yeah? Rally? Grate! Wheer err u frum?

ME: Sydney, Australia

THEM: Fer sure! that's grate! I've always wanted to visit Austria. 

ME: err...no...not Austria, Australia.

THEM: I have a buddy who lives in Switzerland!

ME: Err, no, you're thinking Europe, we're down on the other side of the planet, you know, kangaroos, crocodile hunter etc?

THEM: Sure, Austria.

ME: (sigh)

For the record, we're from AUSTRALIA... AUS-TRA-LIA (or as we pronounce it badly, OSTRAYA)

Just to help you out, this is your typical google-able Austrian scene. Note the mountains and chalets and somewhere near are some guys in lederhosen slapping each other.

And here, down under, is your typical google image result for Australia. Note: No lederhosen.

Ok, so is everbody clear now?

Oh No! We've gone from #1 to #5 after 3 months! Oh Noes!

As I look at the latest list I notice that there are some pretty decent dang musicians on it. We're grateful to be included :-)

Thanks to Dave and Jon for spinning Black Crow on Bluestrain in the UK.

Boy these albums sure do get around huh?

So I thought I’d spend some time working on a new idea I had that may become a song … or an interlude … or something else … anyways I got my practice amp out, strat and effects case and proceeded to hook it all up. I’d recently restrung the strat and had also recently picked up my amp from Mjeb’s place after Theo had kindly brought it back from Tamworth. And here’s the point: I’d not opened my effects case since Tamworth … how could I tell? Probably the extra contents.

You know you've played a country festival when you open your effects case and find hay in it!

Cheers,

Rosie

Cheers to Sebastian for some optimisation help, we've brought the band website back to speed. Yes!

We've done stuff to the cache, moved the Databases and Site to a new(er) el fantastico web server, re-inserted the search function (yes, look above at the top of the pages, unless I move it, a search function again!) and done some other stuff that you can't see but that is SUPER IMPORTANT TECHNO STUFF!!

I was slightly surprised that we didn't DESTROY THE UNIVERSE whilst making these quantum shifts. The large Hadron Collider is a cakewalk compared our our Dark Web Arts. In fact, we already discovered the Higgs Bosom whilst upgrading a copy of WordPress...hang on...whats that? the Higgs BOSON? Oh.

Right.

We are ADMINJA!

Admin.

BTW if anything else breaks, I'm blaming Seb.
