Wizard Rock Around the World

I never doubted that wizard rock reaches far and wide. There is an entire UK contingency of some of our favorite bands. Sweden just had a Harry Potter symposium where wizard rockers played. One of our most faithful readers, Olivier, is from Belgium. Taking a look at The Whomping Willows‘ preorder contest gives us an idea of other countries where people are buying wizard rock albums.

You may have noticed that Dinah posted Question Tuesday yesterday. At the moment, I am in Paris with limited internet access. Even though my trip has nothing to do with wizard rock, I happily took the opportunity to meet up with Lou of Basilisk in Your Pasta at a local James Hetfield-themed pub. I brought over some tshirts since I know they aren’t available abroad. Check out how happy Lou was to get a Whomping Willows shirt!

Isn’t it amazing that we have a community that stretches so far?

    I freaking love it. Lou and I tried vaguely to meet up when I was in Paris at New Years’, but everyone from Pasta was nowhere near Paris at the time and couldn’t make it on short notice because I was lame and took too long to figure out when I’d be there and contact them about it. XD

    Love that you got to meet, though!!!!!

    ps. @Johnny There’s actually a whole ton of Wrock across Australia! I’m not certain exactly how spread out it is, but there’s a bunch! For example, check out this amazing Australian Wrock compilation (available for free download!!!) here: http://www.myspace.com/wrockindownunder

    Is there any other wizard rock fan in Switzerland ? I feel a bit alone ^^ (well, at least I don’t leave too far from France; I wish I can meet the Basilisk in your Pasta one day !)
