Edit history

A former stage manager for bands such as “Baby Animals”, “Scary Mother”, “Wildland” and “The Party Boys”, Danish-Australian singer/songwriter Stenvei, spent his early days playing riffy hard rock with mediocre bands such as “Riff Raff” and “Backlash” and “Sons Of Mozart” (Sydney circa 1990’s). Upon migrating to Melbourne in 1996, Stenvei used his exposure to the professional influences to change direction and formulate and create his true style. The main focus in his songwriting became geared more to exploring the most basic structures of music. As such, Stenvei considers the writing and performing of his music primarily in the artistic sense, rather than a form of commercial exploit. The song Pasadena Rose, is an example of Stenvei's dedication to staying true to artistic ideals – as he intended, it is simply a one-chord song! Similarly, Brown Paper Bag, is a basic 12-bar blues – peddling along to its climactic conclusion. Stenvei (aka Sean Sumner), is a painter and author and
