THESE ARE THE DAYS … of the April Uprising!!!
Hey hey!!!
Way back when we were recording the album, and shooting the shit outta it…. we thought this could be a film…. we thought these three funny cunts are making wicked music, are havin a ball doing it and hell we gotta enough footage here, and John being totally confortable with Me and Jamie had revealed alot about himself and what makes him tick, that its proberly the world saw the real him…..
Who is? A tree huggin hippy, with heaps of anger and passion… and plays a mean fuckin guitar…. Well folks…. Prepared to be surprised… I spent 16 hours a day with the boys, and usual you’d expect for there to be niggling things that get on your nerves…. and being a big John Butler fan since I was about 16…. I thought… surely he’s gotta fall of this imaginary pedestal… NOPE!! The bloody opposite!!! John is one of the nicest, caring, loving, happy, funniest, manic, mad scientists, incredible father, loving husband, mad skater, wicked artists, crazy muso…. I have ever met…
He is one of my favourite human being on the planet, has become one of my best mates, and someone I can count on for love and support, his wife Dan, makes me want to be a better person… and all in all, I am a have grown as person and am all the better for it…..
Here is a little teaser to the film… Jake from Runamuk Visual edited the whole thing… and made it look ten times better than we ever thought it could…. the dude is a genius!!! Me an Jamie lived with his awesome mumma whilst we edited it in our new favourite place… Noosa….
This has honestly been one of the best experiences of our lives… we all learned so much each other and came out of the whole process filled with love and hope this album will be something special…..
Life is too good to be true sometimes…..
