Rock n' Roll Doggie VIP PASS
I am so delighted with what this fine young man and his band have achieved. IT CAN BE DONE!!!
I feel fortunate to have seen him perform quite some time ago in a very small venue ( those days are over). I was standing right in front of the stage, right in front of John and was mesmerised by his playing. He had a great drummer and bass player with him that night too, very tight and funky.
I have only ever heard him speak from the heart, he is a brave soul. I have the debut concert of his new album on tape. I'll transpose later, some of the things he said.
"....SUNRISE OVER SEA - NUMBER 1 ALBUM IN AUSTRALIA
The John Butler Trio?s new album ?Sunrise Over Sea? has today debuted at #1 on the national ARIA albums chart, not since You Am I's ?Hourly Daily? has an Independent band had a #1 debut, and never before has a band on its own label done so. It?s the first time an independently produced and distributed Australian artist has accomplished such a feat.
The number one debut for The John Butler Trio confirms the ability of an independent artist to attain and equal the success of a major label artist. This is the first #1 debut for Jarrah Records, the independent label started and owned by John Butler and The Waifs.
Currently touring the USA with a performance scheduled at the South By South West convention, John Butler commented,
?To all who come to our gigs and have bought our albums, you are part of this dream. And this number one is all of ours to celebrate. It couldn't have happened without the great relationship between band and audience. As an independent musician this achievement is even more of a surprise and immense honour. I never dreamt, starting out as a busker eight years ago, that this could be possible.?
The John Butler Trio will soon announce a national tour of Australia to take place in all major capital cities in June and July this year.
?Sunrise Over Sea? is the album that should establish Butler as one of this country?s most substantial talents ? not one of our most promising acts, or the biggest independent seller in the country, but one of our most important recording artists, no further qualification necessary.? - AUSTRALIAN GUITAR MAGAZINE, MARCH 2004 ...."
