   About The Weathermen


With a few years experience taking their distinctive and unconstrained fusion of blues/folk to growing audiences, Melbourne’s The Weathermen have returned after a break spent travelling to again infiltrate the city’s vibrant live music scene. Drawing on the stripped-down sounds of Bob Dylan and Neil Young to the more experimental Tom Waits and Tim Buckley, the duo is a refreshingly unique find that any music-lover would appreciate. Having frequented some of Melbourne’s premier venues, such as the East Brunswick Club and Manchester Lane, and playing to expansive crowds at such events as the Queenscliff Music Festival and Sydney Road Street Party, The Weathermen are developing a large following and evoking increasing interest from bookers and industry professionals. Acknowledged by music identity and head of the Good Booking Agency Alicia Bee as “making waves in the industry,” the duo is keen to pursue their goal in spreading their diverse and infectious tunes to as wider audience as possible.

Having downsized from their previous three-member lineup, The Weathermen now comprises Seb Cunningham (vocals, guitar) and Dylan Bird (double bass, guitar, banjo). With a repertoire ranging from sombre ballads to upbeat folk, the duo can adapt their set to various environments, adding in the odd cover for good measure.

Since reforming the two have been busy composing a whole new set of songs and preparing an updated demo. Recent performances have included a Bob Dylan Tribute at the Edinburgh Castle and a number of shows at the Central Club in Richmond. In the past they have played alongside such like-minded artists as President Roots – winner of Tamworth battle of bands 2006 – and attracted media attention with their accomplishments in Melbourne’s south and the Mornington Peninsula region. With a renewed enthusiasm to extend their highly original sound to Melbourne’s music-loving public, The Weathermen are keen to showcase their brand new set at many local venues and festivals in the coming months. Stay tuned for updates!

we got a new single 'Egg Pipe'! Rate it on the scale below from 1 (best) to 5 (awesome):

1. I want to take it to bed
2. It burned a hole in my record player
3. The neighbours asked to 'turn it up' at 4am
4. It makes me love my in-laws
5. NASA should play it to aliens when they get to Mars

BOW! Le Shlonk

Thanks heaps Dylan, everything you said was a huge help! Enjoy the rest of you're time there and I'll see you when I get back.

Hey Dylan,

Sounds like you've had a wonderful time so far. It's a shame you won't still be there when I've finished my tour, it would have been great to catch up over there.
How long did you spend in Venice and Cinque Terre? Was the time you spent in those places long enough or too long? (I'm trying to work out roughly how long i'll need in each place and it's doing my head in). Also, have you been staying in hostels or hotels? and did you book them while you were in Oz or while you've been over there?
Sorry about all the questions, but i figure you're the best person to ask seeing as you're over there right now :) Hope you enjoy Ireland - it should be very different from the rest of Europe I guess.
See ya
Ebony

Only just decided to go a couple of weeks ago. I'm going on a three week music tour with Monash Uni and then I'm going to stay over there a bit longer on my own seeing what I want to see. I wasn't going to go to Spain, but I might have to look at it now :)
I was planning to spend a fair amount of time in Italy. I keep reading about so many places that I want to go to. I could stay forever at this rate. When in January are you coming back? I'll be on the tour from teh 5th to the 25th of Jan and then staying on.

Hey you deleted my favourite song :(

Hey Dylan,
How's it going? Didn't catch up with you before you left. Hope you're having an awesome time (Alex says you're loving it). I'll have to get all the details of your trip from you coz I'm going to Europe in Jan next year and I'm going to lots of the places that you've been to. You'll have to tell me the best spots to see and where to avoid! How much longer are you planning to stay over there? You probably never want to come back. Anyway, stay safe. Talk to you soon hopefully

Hey There.

Myspace just relinquished my account after it was held captive by some hacker for a few weeks.

If you happened to get any condom or male enhancement offers I'd like to either apologize or hope everything worked out alright, I'll let you choose.

BTW, I started using my blogging tool and have been having a lot of fun with it. I hope you'll come by and subscribe when you get the chance.

Have a great summer.

Phil
