Release Notes:
In June this year, John Butler proudly announced the new
line up of the ever evolving John Butler Trio. Prominent
Melbourne musician Nicky Bomba (drums and percussion) of
æBombaÆ fame and principal drummer on æSunrise Over SeaÆ
joined the band and bass player Byron Luiters from Sydney
outfit Ray Mann Three completed the new line up. Having
spent the past few months bunkered down in his Fremantle
studio with his new band mates putting down tracks for
their forthcoming fifth studio album entitled æAPRIL
UPRISINGÆ, John Butler is pleased to announce fans will
get their long awaited live JBT hit when the band perform
throughout the world early in 2010.
The new album title April Uprising came from an incredible
journey John undertook for the æWho Do You Think You AreÆ
TV series. He traces the Butler name through generations
of hardship to a matriarch who sang for her survival and
follows his Bulgarian ancestry to a forebear caught up in
a violent revolt called the April Uprising.
The recording process for the new album (the first release
from the JBT in 3 years) has been shared with avid JBT
followers via a special studio sessions page on the bandÆs
website: www.johnbutlertrio.com John Butler describes the
first new track, One Way Road; ôOne Way Road is 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. IÆm really happy with how we
captured the vibe of his songö.
With sold out performances over the past two years, not
only on home turf but also worldwide, on the back of their
highly acclaimed and 3 x platinum accredited æGrand
NationalÆ album, the John Butler Trio have reaffirmed
their status as one of AustraliaÆs leading artists. æAPRIL
UPRISINGÆ, scheduled for release early in 2010, will
unveil a whole new journey for the band.
John Butler comments on the forthcoming new album, ôThe
whole rehearsal and recording process so far has been a
lot of fun and very gratifying. I feel the sounds and
general spirit and energy of this album are best summed up
in the words û free, melodic, funky, phat and rocking.
ThereÆs definitely a certain attitude that comes across on
the album. Perhaps thereÆs a conviction, in a song writing
and production sense, that I havenÆt tapped into so much
on earlier works that seems to be more prevalent on April
Uprising. ThereÆs chemistry and language that Nicky, Byron
and I have found that really compliments these songs in
all their different facetsö.
