AOTD - John Butler Trio - April Uprising

"On 30 June 2009 John Butler announced the new bass and drum musicians of the John Butler Trio to be Byron Luiters as the bassist and Nicky Bomba as the drummer and percussionist. Bomba, Butler's brother-in-law, has previously been a member of the John Butler Trio.
The new line-up has spent the last few months in a studio in Fremantle, recording the band's fifth studio album, which will be released in March 2010. The album will be called April Uprising, named after Butler's voyage to find his ancestors on SBS Television’s genealogy series, Who Do You Think You Are?. The recording process for the new album has been shared with fans via a special studio sessions page on the band’s website. The first single from the album, "One Way Road", was released on 4 December 2009. Butler described the song as being

the combination of pretty much most of my musical influences; dancehall, roots & rock. Some how we found a way to bring all these feels in a way that sounds natural and not too contrived or cerebral. I’m really happy with how we captured the vibe of this song."

its been 3 years since the last JBT album, "Grand National" which was a large change of pace from the bands pervious albums but they didn't miss a beat and diffrence or no diffrence it was another great album. Now in 2010 we have April Uprising. New band members,new outlook,new image, and once again a hole new sound. April Uprising is new territory for JBT and there fans. While many will complain that the change is too much, and that it's not the same. The trademark dreads may be gone, and the long traditional busk worthy guitar instrumentals are seemingly a thing of the past. But, This new more Radio friendly pop rock outing by the trio still captures that JBT vibe throughout. It's one thing for an artist to make a strong album only to fallow up with 4 more of the same, but it's another when an artist can evolve. Not only as a person, but as a musican, and manage to succesfully bring there sound to a hole new level in itself. Songs that emote and send a message like the opener "Revolution" or "Johnny's Gone". A newer more electric sounding trio rockin out with tracks like "Close to You" or "Don't Wanna See Your Face" there is something for everyone to be found on the 15 Tracks of the album. JBT seem to be having alot of fun with these latest recordings. John is in a new relm in his life, but the talent is just as visable now as it was back on the streets of Perth, and that can't possibly be a bad thing.

MOTD - John Butler Trio - Live at Federation Square

"the John Butler Trio kicked off the 2007 Easter long weekend with a massive free concert in Melbourne's Federation Square. A celebration of the album Grand National, the John Butler Trio and a host of guest musicians mesmerized the huge crowd with hits including Better Than, Good Excuse and Funky Tonight. jtv were there with their cameras to capture it all."

I figured to help celebrate the release of April Uprising I would give you a glimpse of JBT's dvd Live at Federation Square. I've seen JBT two times, both times fantastic shows and this is more of the same. The only diffrence is this is right in the heart of Austrailla and has a hole lot more people, but that only makes it more engrossing. A Largely Grand National Setlist with some thrown in classics like Ocean and Peaches & Cream, John and the band really bring it all together in a performance thats great from start to finish. There are also some special features including a "Busk-off" with triple j's "The Doctor" which is deffently worth checking out.
