This festival was a real hoot last year, the first year they did it. Was quiet on day one, but by day three the word was out and it was PACKED!
The festival this year looks even more impressive, 7 venues in town and over 50 bands!
This year we are looking forward to again Greg Sheehans incredible percussion set, Mr Percivals voice and loop effects, Jo Jo Smiths singing, Afro Dizzi Acts world groove, Band Of Frequencies rock n funk, Hall of Fame legends the Old Spice Boys, Fyah Walk reggae, Oka dance, Tex Perkins, Vince Jones.
Brisbanes 'the Family Yah' with their soulful vocals and infectious groove.....these guys are fresh...... check out their latest track addition (two days ago) to myspace 'shit at life, good at music' classic www.myspace.com/lachlaneous
Great vibe in mullumbimby town....tune in.
Our blog will be updated EVERY day while we are on the roadtrip... surfing as much as possible.
We have added all sorts of stuff to the website, including a new music player and new artists and photographers. We will be adding new content once the book is out and about, but for now, it is worth a look through the website to see some changes. www.switch-foot.com/photographer.php
Andrew Crockett's photography page has been updated www.switch-foot.com/photographer/a-crockett
Afro Dizzi Act have a new double album and we made a short film about the album you can view at this link. www.switch-foot.com/view_item.php
We have the switch-foot II poster available now www.switch-foot.com/view_item.php
Recent sell out shows are a testament to how good Afro Dizzi Act are playing right now. This photo is from the soundlounge gig at Currumbin and this link goes to a short video 'ac' made about the new double album.
Afro Dizzi Act music page is looking great on the website, www.switch-foot.com/afro-dizzi-act new music player and all the tour dates. They are in melbourne this weekend playing the World Music Expo www.awme.com.au/
Stoke films who made the classic 'invasion from planet c' are releasing their second film and we are looking forward to it.
Click the image to watch the trailer.
Director Mike Black said the following about the new film in a recent email to us. . . 'this film is NUTZ. it is a prequel to INVASION! not one that develops casanova and gnar gnar's character , but rather one that sets up the planet's situation.'

Postman
Thanks to all the crew who wrote in about our postman request. Stay tuned for postal stoke.
We had loads of crew write back with their postal address in far away lands, like America, England, The Netherlands, Japan and others....Unfortunately we are only able to send postal stoke to Australian surfers at this stage.
