[ToddBurman]

Hey guys and girls!!!

What's up!!! Todd here, thanks to all the street teamers for the work that you have been doing for us, we truly appreciate it.. We have been noticing the glow bands while we play, they rock!!! The cards with all the details are great cos they are pocket size and people will take them with them... i am in the lobby of the hotel in Montreal and have just found out that the EP's arrive today!!! So knowing our luck, that means tomorrow!!! So we have the EP's for sale and we will be plugging them whilst onstage... getting the EP out is a big deal for us as it gives people a taste of the album, but the album is just going to sound so massive its ridiculous!!!!

This tour is going to take us over so many continents over three months.. For those aussie street teamers, your time is coming soon.. After this tour we are going to do a tour at home, we understand how patient everyone has been at home, and it is hugely important to us to tour back home! We are so pumped about people getting their hands on the EP.. For a start you have no idea how many people i talk to that dont know about JUke kartel, and the fact we were even on this tour in the states and how many people didnt know we just did our own tour late last year...

What we have to understand that MOST of the people at these shows on this tour are a TV audience and DONT have myspace pages, so the work you guys and girls are doing is MASSIVE.. it really does spread the word.... The biggest thing is to get people to buy the EP and give the details of where to look for us... A LOT OF PEOPLE DONT KNOW ABOUT US!!! SO your job is so important to us, cos unfortunately we dont get the time to street team ourselves, and believe me we have always been prepared to do whatever it takes....

To the new members of all our new street teams.. WOW. you guys and girls are really multiplying!!!! That is what we want,... Welcome aboard, I guess the biggest reward we can give you is to have our songs all over the radio and keep putting on a great rock show everytime we get onstage...

To the OZ and NZ street teamers, what we need you guys and girls to do is get those information cards in everyhand that you can!! Obviously if someone has a JK shirt, they know the info, we need the people that dont know!! You have some big shoes to fill, and we know you are going to kick arse!!! WE ARE 150 % looking forward to meeting you all and helping whenever we can!!!

Street teaming is very valuable to the band and is probably the MOST effective PR machine around today.. For those ringing the stations and requesting THROW IT AWAY, if the dj says they want to play it then ask kelley to send them the single, cos we all know how huge the song sounds on radio, lets get it out there!!! One more thing guys and girls, everyones work is so appreciated, and i dont want any bickering between people on the street teams, always remember that this is meant to be fun and it is a great way to meet new friends, i have talked to so many of you that have become friends through street teaming... I have implicant trust in Kelley and how amazing she and Tina have been getting this whole thing up and running.... I will write to you all and tell you how everything is going every week or two (kel and Tina please remind me, as my mind is always ticking over!!!)

So far the best show we feel we have played was at buffalo.. that was just an insane night and we got to play a little bit longer!!! OZ people as it is just us and Supernova back home, we will be playing a much bigger set.. ( I can hear the US people screaming right now!!!)

So as we have been only playing the 20 - 25 minute sets, we have basically been showcasing the EP...

While on this tour we hope to make as many new fans as possible, but our biggest goal is what we can achieve after this tour as a band.. The work has only just begun for us, and we will be back over on US soil in your summer to play another tour after we show a LOT of LOVE to our homeland first!!!!

Thanks for listening and being a part of the JUKe family, to our new members welcome, and to the people who have been there since the beginning you rock!!!

Rock on and turn it up LOUD!!!!

Todd
JK

Please do not repost this on your myspace pages..direct people to the forum to view it. Thanks! JKST

Hey Guys!!!! That's awesome that you have a moment to send news from the road..sometimes this all seems surreal and it makes it very real when news is passed from the band themselves!!!!!!!!
Hope you have a awesome tour...I look forward to getting involved in the street teaming!!!

These guy deserve it all and will be going so far. We as Street Teamers love what they stand for and will try to get as many people going. I'm going the distance. I want to see them selling out major venues! Thanks Kelly and Tina, you guys rock almost as hard as the boys!

How great is Todd?? Thanks so much for posting. "We love you guys. Of course, JK rules or we wouldn't even be here.

Kelley and Tina...you girls are the best! You keep us all focused and make sure everyone plays nice. This wouldn't be possible without the efforts of both of you.

Looking forward to more shows. I'm all over that EP! So glad it's finally available. Take care everyone!

First off thank you Todd for leaving such a wonderful heartfelt message to us all her at the Street team.

These group of guys really do know how to treat their fans..and this a long with the music is the reason I love to spread the Juke love.

I have met so many wonderful people I am honored to call my friends through Juke and for that I am forever grateful.

Thanks to Kelly, Tina, Anita and Elizabeth for your dedication and hard work.

You rock, boys and we Aussies are gonna work our arses off to try and match the massive effort of the US contingent!

Kel & Tina you girls are amazing!

Wow....I don't know what to say other than thank you Todd for the message. It really means so much that you would take time out of your hectic schedule to show us some love. You guys are so amazing. They say one of the keys to being a great salesperson is to believe in your product. Well...everyone here truly believes in JK and will not rest until we do all we can do to help the band succeed.

Kelley, Tina, Anita and Elizabeth...your hardwork and dedication is inspiring. I thank you for allowing me to be a part of something so special. I love you all!

In closing...to quote my dear sweet friend Jojo....LONG LIVE JUKE KARTEL!!!!!!!!!

Todd, you made my morning with that message!!
It really makes helping you guys out worthwhile knowing how much you appreciate it, not a lot of bands do!

I am so blown away that I don't know what to say and it is not often that I am speechless. Thanks soooo much Todd!!! You'll never know how much it means to us for you to reach out to us in such a way. I am beginning to believe all Aussies are amazing, wonderful, caring, life loving people just from spending a little time with you boys. OZ should be proud because you are doing a fabulous job as ambassador for your homeland.

As for the STers, what greater motivation could there be for us get out to the shows and work our asses off making sure each and every person there has had an encounter with at least 1 JK ST member. In my opinion, if this message doesn't make you want to work that much harder, nothing will. I feel like I have been given a high dose of enthusiasm and dedication!!! We are, and will continue, to make a HUGE difference!!!! The boys can't do this without us and what in the hell would we do without them?!?!

Todd, Tommy, Dale, Eddie, and Toby, thanks for the love

Thanks Todd for taking the time to write such a lovely message. What a way to further inspire the troops. We absolutely believe in what JK does. I feel so lucky to be a part of it with the new friends I have made, my wonderful mod squad counterparts here and in OZ and our fearless leaders Kelley & Tina. The ride keeps getting better, and its only just begun!
Cheers

Awesome! "Thanks heaps" to ALL of you for makin enough noise to keep the Official Juke Kartel Street Team on the lips of the people and the boys!

Cheers!

I'm going with Paul and Todd on this one...the men have it right! find your state/local leaders and find out what their game plans are...most of them are in the process of finding out what you're allowed to do at the different venues and maybe even the cities... but everyone deserves to do this Take a bow!!!!

Hey Todd! Thanks for the message

Please keep in mind that after the Supernova tour, we'd love to have you in WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Canada! I'm the leader for Manitoba and I have been working hard hounding local radio stations to play your music.

Best of luck on the tour, and I hope to meet you and the rest of the boys someday in the near future!

Todd!
What a wonderful tribute to your many many fans!
And what a wonderful person you are to take the time out of this amazing ride you're all on to acknowledge all the hard work each and every one has put in.
It's no chore at all to help out in any way we can and to know how much you appreciate it, just makes my heart melt. You have no idea how much we all believe in you guys!

I've been a part of Street Teams for years now and I can honestly say, the Juke Kartel Street Team is a testament to how one should be run. It's well organised, the mods and leaders are easily accessable, we get messages from the band themselves and the people on here are amazing.

Tina and Kelley, I know you know how much we all appreciate the effort and hard yacka you put in for us, that goes for everyone, but just know this little Aussie Juke lover is totally in awe of you.

Thanks again and to Toby, Tommy, Todd, Eddie and Dale, I wish you every continued success and can't wait to see you guys live and to have my face melted off!!!!
