Quick message from JB from Red Rocks earlier today:
"getting ready for our red rocks show. Been a long road to get here.. Sweet vibes.. We are all really excited, a lot of great spirit and a lot of family. For those who can't make it check out the stream. Love from John"
HEY Y’ALL,
JUST WANTED TO SEND A BIG Thankyou to all of you who came to our shows, rocked out and gave the love. It was so nice to see your smiling faces and read your comments and to just to know you had our backs. Obviously these shows were our first public outings as a new trio and with new songs and I wondered how many of you would react. Your responses were extremely encouraging and gave Nicky , Byron and myself the confidence to give all we got. If it’s this good at the beginning just wait till we’re 6 months deep. Very exciting, very grateful , very cool.
till next time friends.
Love and Respect,
JB

The World March will begin in New Zealand on October 2, 2009, the anniversary of Gandhi’s birth, declared the “International Day of Nonviolence” by the United Nations. It will conclude in the Andes Mountains (Punta de Vacas, Aconcagua, Argentina) on January 2, 2010. The March will last 90 days, three long months of travel. It will pass through all climates and seasons, from the hot summer of the tropics and the deserts, to the winter of Siberia. The American and Asian stages will be the longest, both almost a month. A permanent base of a hundred people of different nationalities will complete the journey.

NAIDOC stands for the National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee. Its origins can be traced to the emergence of Aboriginal groups in the 1920s which sought to increase awareness in the wider community of the status and treatment of Indigenous Australians.
Today, NAIDOC is a celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and an opportunity to recognise the contributions of Indigenous Australians in various fields.Activities take place across the nation during NAIDOC Week in the first full week of July. All Australians are encouraged to participate.
