Lumber’s seven-track debut CD ‘Decade of Procrastination’ has finally been released!
Three social athletes, fuelled on an unhealthy diet of excess, with
Motorhead, AC/DC, S.O.D, Iron Maiden and the Cosmic Psychos surging
through their veins, have decided to take another swipe at the auditory
nerves of unsuspecting audiences.
Lumber hit the Aussie music scene in 1994 shrouded in a cloud of
two-stroke fumes and drenched in beer. Lumber knew there was something
missing from the flaccid rock scene and it ran on petrol, and had
teeth. The band thought the world was ready for what only a few friends
had already witnessed.....live chainsaw action!
After trying out several mates on the Husqvarna 353 and with
thirty-kilo hand felled tree stumps and a bag of mixed offal in their
possession, Lumber exploded out of the lower Blue Mountains to preach
their gospel of dodgy cops, cask wine, evil women and prison tatts to
the masses. In the process they clocked up a stack of gigs at some of
Sydney’s most hard-core live venues: The Haunted Castle (The Lewisham
Hotel), The Bowlo, Feedback and The Waterloo Tavern (all now RIP). Then
the terror of Workplace Safety Laws struck home. Paragraph 11B of the
Forestry Machinery Act (1995) outlined the banning of the use of
chainsaws in confined spaces. Lumber thought they were doomed.
After a decade of sitting on the sidelines, Lumber has harnessed the
digital medium with their apocalyptic two-stroke, three-chord rock ‘n’
roll and released a bone-crushing debut on Beba Las Ganancias Records.
The aptly named disc entails 32 minutes of rhythmic assault, merging
songs about police corruption, carnivorous females and just drinking too much. So sit back, knock the scab off your favourite brew and give it a spin…
Lumber are Paul, Dan and Geoff
