| Biography: | ********!!!SPECIAL ALERT FOR AFFICIENDOS!!!********** In the early 1990's SELDON nutured his talent on the North lsand with virtuoso cellist CHRISTIE STAUDHAMMER. By the late 1990's they were wowing intimate audiences around the Vancouver scene. Then continents separated them for many years. None of their music had been recorded. It had been played to the winds of the whispering forests and far flung northern beaches. It'd disappeared into the untold layers of Vancouver's buzz. Lost but for the memories of those who'd witnessed it. BUT WAIT!! On December 16th 2004 , the day before STAUDHAMMER moved forever to a place SELDON would never live, she was enticed into a secret venue in Vancouver and cello tracks to 4 of their classic songs were laid. ROGER SELDON Born and raised in South Africa and travelling the globe now for over 15 years, SELDON finally managed to stop in one place long enough to record his 1st album "THE BEAST WITHIN" in Fishhoek , Cape Town late 2003. Mastered and manufactured in Vancouver , Canada , the album was officially and globally released September 2004. SELDON on songwriting : Being a gypsy for a lot of years many of SELDON's songs have become popular at his regular low key appearances around the world. The Hibiscus Coast (see www.southernexplorer.co.za) , Plett , Cape Town; all in South Africa; and Vancouver , Nelson , Northern Vancouver Island and Kitimat in the Wild Northwest of British Columbia have been his regular stomping grounds. A few of his songs (HEAVY RAIN , DREAMCHAIN , BURDSONG , SAME GAME) have been covered by artists in some of these places (Larva Rocks , now known as DreamChain - Johannesburg , Sean Germond - Cape Town , Barbie Meyer - Margate). In late 1996/7 he joined bandmembers Liz Adams , Scott Blackley (Muzzy Pep, The Great Dividing Range) and Patrick Singh in the Whitehorse-based Yukon altpoprock band "HOOP" as bassist for their tour of the East Coast of Australia in early 1997. The last 10 years have seen SELDON splitting his time between the southern tip of Africa (music & surfing) and the Canadian West Coast (music , snowboarding and , most unfortunately , work). His sold-out and packed-out gigs at the Sundance Javabar in Campbell River and The Common Bistro on Denman Street in Vancouver , as well as a genre-defining 6 week run of shows at Rocky Ridge on The Hibiscus Coast , South Africa, in July/August/September 2005 lead to a more formalised and intense gigging/touring schedule in 2006. January 2006 saw him playing The Duncan Garage Showroom in Duncan , The Spiral Cafe in Victoria and The Common Bistro in Vancouver. A repeat tour of the southern Zululand coast with 11 sequential Friday night shows at Rocky Ridge developing into a weekly festival of Original Music with SELDON hosting many untapped and rockin' locals. Comments & questions , both musical and personal , can be sent to "THE BEAST WITHIN" by ROGER SELDON includes liner notes and lyrics. It also includes BURDSONG ("the lovesong of the decade" as judged by lovers around the world). SELDON prefers that "THE BEAST WITHIN" be played LOUD. |
