About This Site
Welcome to our web site! Here's a quick guide to what you'll find here:

To become a true Blues Excuse tragic, you should begin by studying our background information About The Band and casting your eyes over a small photo gallery that we've prepared for the press, fans and identification parades.

Once you've absorbed this, you can then move on to consulting our handy checklist to tell if you're really living a Blues Way Of Life (or just having yourself on) and then ponder Noel's world famous Beer Theories (now rated #2 or #3 by Google).

These should really whet your appetite to find out more about Terre Rouge, our brand new CD or to look over our handy booking information if you'd like to book us (and by now you really, really do, don't you?).

Then you can explore some zany useful links that we've put together to find out more about where we live and why we're the way we are (!!!)

We hope you like our site and you're very welcome to email us if you do.

It adds up to very good mojo for all concerned. That's right, mama!

Latest News
South Burnett Wine and Food in the Park festival: tasty
We can't seem to keep away from this festival. We succeeded in sacking ourselves from the lineup one year a little while ago, but received a whole lot of threatening letters with filthy language and we won't have that again. The truth is the band has a ball every year doing Wine and Food and we're keen to share the fun again in 2012.

We're looking forward to hearing the Mason Rack Band as well. They hammer.

We're expecting punters (ie, you) to stomp and holler. You've done it every other year, so we're confident you will take charge once again and have some fun. See ya there.

"Are you guys still gigging? You've been quiet"
The answer to the first question is "Yes, we are still gigging." The response to the statement about how quiet we are is "No, we aren't."

Most of the stuff we did in 2011 was corporate work and private parties, so it would have been a bit rude of us to invite you all along. At the start of the year there was also a bit of charity stuff following the State-wide sogginess here in Queensland. So although'll it might seem as though we've been hibernating, we've actually been quite busy.

We're trying to organise some more pub dates (our favourite gigs, really) so keep watch here for updates. If a souped up blues gig with an appetising mix of Chicago hump, Texas stomp and local slithery blues makes you start breathing heavily, you've found the right band.

See you there!!!

Yes!!! Our New CD was
Launched On February 27th!

24th July 2009: We were very chuffed to launch our CD - our debut bit of art - at Kingaroy's historic Carrollee Hotel one Friday evening back in February 2009.

The CD, Terre Rouge (that's French for "Red Earth"), took 5 years to put its 13 tracks together, mainly because we are very unorganised. Be that as it is, if you'd like a copy you can snavel a copy for a slim $20 somewhere on this website: You were expecting a link, weren't you?

OK, sorry, here it is: we're selling Terre Rouge by mail-order. You can find out how to get an autographed copy mailed to you anywhere in the world for just an extra $5 by clicking here.
