Happy New Year!
Tim and I wish you all the very best for 2012. We have a good feeling about it. We have lots of exciting plans and we're happy to have moved to a new studio/residence in a gorgeous old mansion. Very condusive to making atmospheric and colourful tunes. If you're a singer/songwriter looking for somewhere to record your next album, get in touch, we'd love to meet you. Here's a picture of me working on my new album. That's all I can tell you cos it's a secret.
Be well and happy and don't forget to follow your bliss. Jodi x Kuradji-Bugeena
Day 1 of the Kuradgi Bugeena Festival was amazing, rich in culture, community and spirit. The music was inspiring. Alotta Pressure were brilliant! Powerful speaches from Dootch Kennedy, the Kuradgi custodian and great performances by the Little Narguns Dance Group.
We're all getting ready for day 2 and really looking forward to it. Here is a film put together by the lovely and talented Shelley O'Neil, highlighting last year's magical moments. The Clouds!
We had such a good time time at The Oxford Art Factory the other night. Thanks to everyone who came along. We are so glad to be playing our songs again and seeing all those familiar faces. It's also great to see so many new people at our shows. We look forward to the Fremantle, Adelaide and Melbourne gigs. Details are on our 'shows' page.Hope to see you there! The photos were taken by our dear friend Mairi Prisk.

We have a very special evening for you this Saturday the 5th Nov at the Woonona School of Arts(1 hour south of Sydney). The Glamma's Malika or Love Ray as we call her, has created a stage play celebrating the songwriting acheivements of her great aunt Jessie Mae Robinson. Los Angeles based Jessie Mae wrote dozens of world wide hits in the 50's for artists such as Pattie Page, Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson, the list goes on...people are still covering her songs. The Beatles and The Go-Gos even did versions of 'Let's Have a Party'. Malika wants Jessie Mae remembered and acknowledged and we're gonna help her! There will be a run-through of the play, followed by a Glamma Rays set. Soul food will be for sale at the show. Please click here for tickets and info.
The Glamma Rays play with The Killjoys
It's going to be a great night at The Petersham Bowling Club on Friday the 28th of October for The Killjoys album launch! We are really looking forward to playing Sydney's inner west again, with The Bernie Hayes Quartet up first, then The Glammas, then The Killjoys will play songs from their new album plus the old crowd favourites. I love how the 90's are back! It makes you feel so young! Please click here for details.
Typos!
Folks, I really must apologize for all my typos in the latest newsletter. They are good for a laugh though!....and as one mailing list member pointed out, "at least we know it's written with love".
