Ambrose Chapel
Ambrose Chapel is a music project by Ian Rogers (of AXXONN and No Anchor). Forged in the sweltering spare rooms of Brisbane summers, Ambrose Chapel finds Rogers exploring new sounds, production techniques and modes of performance. The results are epic, taking the ominous bass experiments of his doom metal band No Anchor and marrying them to AXXONN’s more sophisticated and tranquil palate. His current release is a split CD with Brisbane sound artist Tom Hall titled ‘Masters of the Epic Day’. Visit edgeqld.org.au for performance times.
