Obsidian

RIP DIMEBAG DARRELL

Black, glossy, volcanic rock......

Obsidian are a four-piece original hard rock band from Cairns, North Queensland, Australia. Formed late in 1998, Obsidian has earned a loyal following throughout North Queensland via a strong and active live presence and vigorous promotion. Playing live and loud to an active audience is one of the passions for all members of Obsidian and they seek to do so at every opportunity with semi regular gigs at Fox N Firkin, and several feature gigs, festivals and charity fundraisers where Obsidian donate their performance.

Obsidian have been labelled volcanic rock by followers and venues alike and they all agree that the blend of styles which make Obsidian unique can only be described as Volcanic Rock. With haunting, strong vocals combined with the power and emotion of the music, Obsidian reach out and grasp the audience in an explosion of audio and visual entertainment propelling them into the next generation of heavy music. Forged from the passion and desire to get their original music to the world, Obsidian is Stacy Davidson (vocals/guitar), Ben Johnson (lead guitar), Phil Reay (bass) and Robby Jaudzems (drums).

Their first single on the site “Curious Heart” reached as high as #1 Hard Rock, #1 Rock, #1 Pop/Rock and #5 overall on the Digital Music Charts and had feature articles in The Cairns Post and also on local radio. Intending to release a website soon, Obsidian have enough material for an immediate CD launch and are still writing new material for a second album in the near future.
Highlights of Obsidians sets includes playing at Wicked 2001 festival, (supporting acts such as: motorace, 28 days, superjesus, magic dirt and bodyjar). Appearing on Pandamonium 2000, 2001, 2002 and now 2003 compilation cd's and supporting other national acts such as: The Porkers, The Superjesusx 2 and MGF aka: Machine Gun Fellatio, to name a few as they come through Cairns.

Obsidian can be contacted at the details below at any time and can provide extra material should the need arise. Obsidian intend to be a major success in the music world and are seeking recording, distribution and promotion of current, new and not yet written material.
Obsidian is a long term project.
