Séamus was brought up by hippies and born again fundamentalists in the '70s and '80s but somehow he survived intact. In fact he's quite robust really, all things considered.

Straight out of school, he cut his teeth rocking the town of Adelaide, South Australia during the nineties in cult band Reckoning.

By the time he was twenty-two he was one feral freak indeed, and was on the run from the law. Under cover of darkness, and wearing clothing inappropriate for the weather, he moved to Melbourne, Victoria (Australia) and turned to managing a health cafe whilst simultaneously struggling with a hardcore substance abuse challenge. At the time, the irony was completely lost on him.

He then developed a passion for psychedelic meditation which enabled him to get back on the good-foot, and subsequently joined the band Quill. They did ok for a bit, but the heat was closing in, so Séamus stowed away on a rusty freighter and went adventuring through Asia until he got stuck - cashless and dazed by the bright lights in Japan.

After doing solo gigs in Tokyo to pay his way home (and doing some more meditation in some Zen Temples), he cruised back to Melbourne, where he was welcomed home by a pyschopath who beat the living shit out of him at Greasy Joe’s in St Kilda. Once his broken bones healed, Seamus spent a few years playing in the front bars of Melbourne, honing his craft and always writing new songs. During this time his style matured into the deep, world weary tones of a man who has seen a bit of life.

On the side he has run a nightclub, made coffee in countless Melbourne cafes, gone to Europe, fathered a child, had about twenty articles professionally published, wrote a thriller novel, taught meditation, and worked for magazine LivingNow. He now works from home where he writes articles, runs websites, tries new tunes out on the dog, and writes about himself in the third person.

Ok, I am sick of talking about myself in the third person. Here’s what I am doing now: I just finished a new collection of songs that you can listen to at myspace, Running a blog called RebelZen.com, and one about music SeamusAnthony.com and you know, stuff...
