THE EBONY TOWER....GET LOCKED IN!

About Me

"We are not taking this lying down. We have something to say and we are saying it. We dispute the plan laid out for us by other people.

You are allowed to enjoy music for what it is.

Our music is what we know and grew up with.
It is a part of our lives. Some of our lives have been long and some have been short. Our music is both remembrances of things past and our imaginings into the future.

We will not grow old as others grow old, we will simply grow.

Reality leaves a lot to the imagination; what we have done is turn imagination into reality"

- Ebony Tower 2008

The Ebony Tower 2008 line-up is:

    Robin Stahl - guitars Ian (Chopper) Cahill - drums, keyboards Sande - vocals Bex Marshall - vocals Dawn Sheridan - violin Charlie Staal - vocals Katie Staal - vocals Chris Hanby - bass Hugh Magee - bass/guitars Paul Brown - Drums

The Ebony Tower was formed in 1996 to perform original material composed by Robin Stahl. Robin has put together a musical collective of some of the best talent around for recording and live shows respectively

Gigs:
The band has played predominantly on the club circuit in England, notably headlining at the Borderline London several times and at the Cavern club Liverpool many times. The band has also supported acts such as Joe Bonamassa , played on bills at Camden Underworld and headlined at the Picturedrome, Huddersfield. The Band will be playing a series of university gigs and festivals in the summer 2008.

Album

The current album ECILA is nearing completion.5 of the tracks have been recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studio in Wiltshire. The remainder of the album has been recorded at Livingston Studios in London and is currently being mastered. The album takes the characters from Lewis Carroll's books and twists them into the fantasies and messages in the songs.

A well known promoter said in its publicity "If you want Jimi Hendrix on guitar ,Janis Joplin on Vocals, John Bonham on Drums and Flea on bass come and see The Ebony Tower". Who are we to disagree?

Member Since: 6/12/2006
Band Website: myspace.com/ebonytowerrocks
Band Members:

Chopper: A virtuoso keyboard player and John Bonham type drummer. A fearsome live performer who compliments the full on experience of the Ebony Tower live, as well as bringing a world class touch in the recording studio

Bex Marshall: A star in her own right, having performed her solo set supporting Bob Dylan, Counting Crows and many others. She has performed in UK, Ireland and at a number of US festivals and European venues.

Sande: A great talent from Australia who adds an exquisite modern voice to the gritty vocals delivered by Bex. She is also a solo performer in her own right.

Dawn Sheridan: Classically trained, who adds counterpoint to the heavier elements of the band. She has developed a technique in live shows by using a violin through a Mesa Boogie stack allowing her to compete with the rest of the band in loudness.

Charlie Staal: Young metal singer who throws his whole being into the performance. His extraordinary voice adds further dimension to the vocal armoury of the Band.

Katie Staal: A young singer providing Ethereal backing singing.

Robin Stahl: Writing producing and performing music since he was 12, he is known as a power player, blowing audiences away wherever he plays. He has been asked to “turn it down” by house engineers even before playing on the grounds he looked too loud.

Chris Hanby: Touring the world with top ten acts and sessions for the great and the good have only helped him to play his best with the Ebony Tower.

Billy Fuller: Bass player and first choice for Robert Plant and other world class outfits.

Paul Brown: Drummer extraordinaire, and possessor of curly hair and debatable sandals

Hugh Magee: Scottish, talented and wonderful. Plays bass amongst other things.
