Revolution - John Butler at the Kimberley coast gas protest


NO GAS on the Kimberley coast! The protest against the proposed James Price Gas Point Project in The Kimberley. The Letter John Butler delivered to Peter Coleman: Dear Mr Coleman The Kimberley is too precious to plunder Welcome to your new job as CEO of Woodside. You join as your company and its joint venture partners are pioneering the industrialisation of the Kimberley, one of the World's last great wildernesses. Woodside, Chevron, BP, Shell and BHP are collaborating on a massive development to processes petroleum gas on the Kimberley coast that will put at threat an ecosystem of global importance. This cannot be allowed to happen. The Kimberley coast is one of the most undisturbed regions on Earth, with the low level of human impact on its waters comparable to only the Arctic and Antarctic oceans. Its ancient lands give refuge to many threatened species, with parts of the Kimberley having had no mammal extinctions since European settlement. It has an intact landscape of a sort that has disappeared from almost every other region on the planet. There are alternatives available that will allow you to process the gas with lower environmental impact. You could process the gas in the Pilbara, as Woodside has done for decades, or on offshore floating facilities, as you are proposing to do in the Timor Sea. Either way, you and your partners can access your gas without putting the Kimberley at risk. Woodside has claimed that it has indigenous support for the development, but <b>...</b>

The official video for REVOLUTION by the John Butler Trio. From the album 'April Uprising' Site: www.johnbutlertrio.com Shop jbt.musicplug.me (lyrics copyright John Butler, 2010) So tell me family now what do you think? Watch it all go in the great big sink. Watch how the scum it rises to the top. Don't you wonder when it's all gonna stop? Sometimes I wonder how we do sleep, serving the dodgy companies we keep. All kicking and scrounging for the very first place - dictionary definition of a rat race. Pay off those losers we elect to lead, stealing from the mouths that we're meant to feed. Enslaving the very clothes upon my back, I feel the sting but I hear no crack, no crack, I'm saying + Running through the fire, running through the flame, running through the hatred, pushing through the blame, running through the hopelessness and shame, revolution already underway ++ [B]ig Heavy [P]irates man digging those holes, messing with something that they can't control. Trespassing lands where they don't belong, all I hear is screaming where there once were songs. I got my brothers they're fighting those wars, fighting over scraps and scraping their sores. Under a blanket of a fire and pride that can't keep us warm for the cold inside, inside, I'm saying + So tell me when you think we're gonna rise? Wake from this slumber wipe the tears from our eyes? Yes from this nightmare yes I must now wake, open my fist my destiny I take! Good people sick and tired of being pushed around, we <b>...</b>

Revolution - Block Aid Action against Woodside - Save the Kimberley


www.savethekimberley.com Honorable Tony Burke MP, Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities, PO Box 6022, House of Representatives, Parliament House, Canberra ACT 2600. Dear Minister I and a broad section of the Australian Community are absolutely sickened by the events that are taking place at the James Price Point gas hub site in the Kimberley's. I have attached two pictures taken on the 5th July 2011 of Australian Police knocking over an 80 year old man who was peacefully protesting at the James Price Point gas hub site (You can see he is being protected by his son), the other one is of the same man being dragged away by his arms. I ask you, how can you let this behaviour go on ?? The arrest of many Traditional Owners of the land, especially while conducting a peaceful protest is nothing short of a crime in itself. This land has belonged to them for generations. The conduct of all parties involved ( WA Premier Barnett, Woodside, BP, Shell, BHP, Chevron) has resulted in an agreement between Woodside & the native title group, Including the 'gun to the head' of compulsory acquisition removing the possibility of free prior and informed consent and irregularities in who was able to vote, the incorrect belief of many eligible native title claimants that they thought not attending was taken as a 'no' vote. This behavior is nothing short of criminal. Like many, many people I love the Kimberley for it's beautiful untouched lands full of native <b>...</b>

The clip features John showing Michael & Shannon the song for the first time - then the band working out the other parts of the tune before recording. An insight into how JBT created this song from the actual recording session. The quality is due to a low quality digital camera which captured the footage and the low lighting in the room. This is the ONLY video that exists of this session. Better than nothing! www.johnbutlertrio.com

John Butler Trio - Studio Sessions 2009 - New band & Studio!


John Butler Trio Studio web blog 24th June, 2009 John Butler introduces us to the new JBT lineup and a walk through the new studio. Melbourne musician Nicky Bomba will feature as the new drummer and percussionist. Nicky has been a prominent member of the Melbourne music scene with his band Bomba and is a prolific songwriter, performer and producer in his own right. Nicky was also the principle drummer on JBTs five times platinum album Sunrise Over Sea. Sydney musician Byron Luiters will feature as the new bass player. Byron is a talented dynamic bassist who has been a member of the Sydney outfit Ray Mann Three. John, Nicky and Byron commenced recording of the new studio album earlier this month and are thrilled with progress so far. John Butler said today, Over the last twelve years of the JBT, I have been blessed with some amazing individuals. All have left their legacy and have raised the musical bar of the band. With any new incarnation it has always been an honour and challenge to meet the benchmark the band has achieved artistically and take it to the next level. Its great to be playing with Nicky again and Byron brings a whole new level of melody, funk and Mojo to the Trio. Very exciting times. Stayed tuned to johnbutlertrio.com as we make changes around the site and add updates from the studio sessions! Look forward to the first single later in the year.
