Kiama & Kangaroo Valley

Hi everyone, how are you going? (that's australian for how's it going :)

The last leg of the Australian Tour had us in a beautiful coastal town called Kiama, and another lovely place called Kangaroo Valley, where we played 4 gigs at the Kangaroo Valley Folk Festival.

The Kiama gig was very busy, we were told the bar was unusually busy that night, so we obviously had a buzz going in Kiama upon arrival. Many people there were shakin it hard on the dance floor, and we had a great time at that show. We flip flopped sets that night with our support act, Dactyl Spondee, as we both played 2 sets to keep the night going with live music. 

Kangaroo Valley saw us play 4 shows, 3 on saturday and one sunday to end  the tour. 

Saturday was fun as we played an acoustic set for the first time on the tour. It was well received, but I think we shocked some of those fans at the second show (which was outdoors) as we cranked up the amps and turned up the energy for a very rockin set. There were many younger kids at this show and according to them the show was"SICK!".  They quickly bought up judes stickers and covered their own guitar cases. 

The Saturday night show was back in the hall, and it was one of our funnest shows. We had Dactyl Spondee come up for most of the show to add percussion and backing vocals. We ended the tour sunday morning with a short half hour set and it was a fond farewell for the boys.

We want to thanks everyone involved in getting us to Australia, the fans, the friends, The Tea Garden's Country Club, Coastfest, Bar 121, Warner's Bay High, The Supper Club, The Grand Hotel in Kiama, Kangaroo Valley, Dactyl Spondee (you guys were great to spend two weeks with!) and most of all Sara Smithson, our beloved manager, you went above and beyond the call of duty, and made our tour absolutely perfect and unforgettable. 

GOOD ON YA MATE!

Peace, Love and Music,

The Judes
