[DaleWinters]

hey everyone, dale winters here from juke kartel. i'd like to take the time out to say a great big thank you to all you street teamers out there, your support and work has invaluable and could never thank you guys enough!!!!
we have toured all over the states twice now and i just cant believe how many street teamers there are all over america! i mean sh_t there is heaps of you guys and it is such a spin out for me being a little australian guy and have all these wonderful people over here who actually give a sh_t at what we are actually doing!!!
there has been alot of fun times had on this tour,to many to mention but the one thing i always think about is the amount of sh_t that tommy and toby have lost! these two blokes would lose their heads if it wasn't part of their bodies! they have lost mobile phones,2 leather jackets,wallets,credit cards and they always leave sh_t at gigs and we have to get it delivered by fed ex to the next gig!!!!
also this tour has been alot more special to me as my wife lucy is able to come out on tour, and we have had the best time together it has been just great!!
playing with rock'n'roll royalty (tommy lee,dave navaro,gilby and all the boys) has been a experience that i'll never forget and i believe juke kartel is a better band for getting the opportunity to play with these guys.
its time for me to sign off as it has taken me so long to type this cause i am the slowest typer in the world, so thank you so much to the juke kartel street team you guys rock my world!

Dale, thanks so much for stopping in and posting with us. I'm not at all surprised that Tommy and Toby lose so much stuff!! LOL. You guys are having the time of your lives now, but I predict it will only get better.

Thanks for visiting the forum Dale. So glad Lucy could accompany you for some shows. I saw Magni's video of you from Kansas - where you are singing "I'm going to Kansas City" - I loved it - you were great - and very funny in the video.

Dale, your a sweetheart for stopping by to say Hi. We were all hoping you'd swing by eventually, so now tell Eddie its his turn hee hee. I wish you continued success on the tour and enjoy the rest of your time with Lucy here in the States. We are looking forward to being rocked in Phoenix Saturday night and I'll see you in San Diego Sunday as well.
Cheers!

Aww....I'm so glad Lucy is getting to be on the road and share this all with you Hon! I agree with Shaz. She's so lucky to have such a great guy.

Why am I not surprised that Toby and Tommy loose their mobiles? They should have them tied around their necks like on chains or something.

Love you, Dale! It's very cool to have you drop by and it's just so nice knowing Lucy is enjoying this with you!
Surpised to hear Toby and Tommy are forgetful! Most aussies (or blokes in general) are really good at remembering things! *tongue in cheek*
Can't wait to hear your phenomenal guitar skills in Aus, see you there!

Dale Winters of JUKE KARTEL....you are so f*cken cool.

You heard me calling you out on these boards, didn't you? Well, thank you so much for coming here and posting. And for playing the guitar with your teeth. And for being the funniest guy I've met in a long time. You sing a mean Kelly Clarkson.

Congratulations on an amazing first leg of the tour...I'm sure you're chomping at the bit to get back home and show them exactly how good you boys are. What a homecoming that will be!

We love you Dale...and I'm so happy you have Lucy there with you now. I'm hoping I'll get a chance to meet her in Arizona.

Thanks for the message Dale! We love you boys! Glad that Lucy was able to come out and spend time with you this tour. It must be hard to be away from each other

Why does it not surprise me that Toby and Tommy lose everything

Aww thanks for posting Dale, your so sweet!! That sucks Toby and Tommy have lost things hehe

Love youu Dale, can't wait to see you again!!!

posted by goddessofgeek
Hey Dale! Awesome message, thanks for posting... miss you guys. Come back to Canada soon, please (with Lucy!). It was great seeing all of you again in Montreal, that was a fantastic time and wicked show.

I think the growing number of street teamers follows the "you get what you give" philosophy, because you guys give heaps and heaps and are so sweet and generous to everyone!

Ha ha, cell phones are easy to lose on your tour... they just manage to go MIA somehow...

Continued safe travels and much love to you all,

Jenn

Hey Dale! Thanks for stopping by to say "hi". I guess you heard Kelley nagging huh? LOL
Dale it is our pleasure to street team for you guys...you are such amazing guys and even more amazing performers. How exciting it must be for you and Lucy to experience this together. How is she liking tour bus life?
That is so funny about Toby and Tommy...not surprising though.
See you in Arizona!

Dale, thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a message. You and the rest of those boys are a great bunch. We're proud to support and promote JK in any way we can.
It's great that Lucy is able to join you for a bit this time. Hope she's enjoying herself. At least you're on the west coast now so the cold isn't so bad. You're a doll for keeping us updated on some of the goings on from the road. Toby and Tommy keep losing stuff?? I can't believe it. They seem like such responsible young men
Kick some arse during your last week of touring in the states! Best of luck to ya for the Oz and NZ shows. Can't wait for JK to come back for another tour.

Hey Dale!!! It is soooo great to hear from you. You guys are so amazing and it has been and will continue to be my pleasure to work my arse off as a JK Street Teamer. Seeing you guys perform and seeing you interact with your fans makes it all worth it!!! The ST grows everyday because you guys are so f*cking awesome!!! You make our job easy. All we have to do is get your name out there and you boys do the rest up on that stage.

I can't tell you how happy I was to her Lucy was able to join you on tour. Getting to share this experience with the one you love must be the best thing evah!!!

Hi Dale! I was at the concert in Vancouver on the 19th and had such an awesome time. Thank you guys so much. You're wonderful to see performing 'live.' So much infectious energy, sweet/friendly vibes and you guys get the crowd totally into the set and rockin' out. It's easy to hear and see how beneficial it has been for you guys doing the US tour and then the RSSN one. You're sounding so tight, give an extremely entertaining and engaging stage performance and the music is just ace, bro. I hope to get to see a full set/concert from you lads, sometime. I bought some of the JK EPs and can't wait for the full album to come out. Hope you boys felt the love (and enjoyed the cold beer ;-) ) on this side of the border. Didn't have a huge amount of time to ST at this one because I was 'hostess'/ringleader LOL to a group of 20-30 Posse, Lukatics and other fans. Had so much fun meeting everyone and hanging out--partied 24/7 all of Monday. Lost our voices and felt it all of Tuesday, but it was worth it. LOL ;-) Enjoy the rest of the tour. It's only going to keep getting better for you guys and you deserve every wonderful thing that comes your way. Peace and love, bros.

Thanks for the message Dale! And why am I not suprised about Toby and Tommy losing stuff left and right....I wonder if it has anything to do with the mass quantities of alcohol being consumed on this tour ;-) haha
I am soooo excited for Phoenix!

thanxs Dale 4 taking the time to write a messege 2 us. We all love you guys. Im happy that u could hav lucy come on tour with u this time

Dale, it is great that Lucy could be along with you. It would have been hard to be separated so long. I bet it is pretty hard to keep track of stuff when you are moving to a different city every day or two but it is hard to imagine losing those leather coats when it has been so cold out there. I hope Phoenix is nice and warm for you guys. You have really been in deep freeze zones this winter-we appreciate you guys leaving the nice Aussie summer!
Thanks for taking time to come post. You and Magni were so funny in the kansas youtube.

Thanks for taking the time to send us a message Dale!!! I'm so happy that Lucy got the chance to experience a little bit of this tour with you. I hope you guys have a ball on the last few shows in the US! Have a safe trip back home...and we'll see you this summer!

How can words explain how I feel about each and everyone of you guys from Juke Kartel...the way you all show your appreciation and gratitude towards us makes it all the more worth being part of this wonderful Street Team that I call family! We will be with you guys all the way to the top, we can guarantee that! You guys are not only the best band but the most genuine band I've ever come across and we love you all even more for that. I'm very happy to hear that Lucy is with you, I know it had to be tough to be away from her during the solo tour. I hope she'll be able to be with you during the summer tour, that way I can have the chance to meet her.
I hope you keep Tommy and Toby in line so they don't lose anything else. Good luck with that, I guess they are just having too much fun to worry about anything but the moment. Can't say that I blame them.
Take care of yourselves and we love ya!!!

Glad to help!!! After seeing you guys perform, live, even if it was only a 20 minute set.. I almost felt guilty, like I hadn't done enough!

I am so glad that you and Lucy get to be together on this tour...you were so happy to show me your pictures of her in Chicago so I know that it was hard for you to be away from her! I can not belive that Tommy and Toby lose so much they need to invest in wallet chains and learn to keep there coats on the bus and run inside!! LOL! I am glad that you guys are having so much fun and it is just as much fun for us too...keep on rockin!XOXO

Dale thanks for writing to us.

I had to laugh though when you opened with Hi this is Dale Winters from Juke Kartel. I can just hear Kelley saying it in my head because she said that is how you always start off a call with her.

I had so much fun meeting Lucy this weekend. I am so glad she has gotten to tour with you. I know it is making the tour that much more fun for you and eases the home sickness a bit. She is absolutely darling!

You guys are amazing! Thanks for taking the time to update us on how the tour is going. I caught you guys in Portland and can't wait until you come back...I have been telling everyone I know about you and getting them exposed to your music. My young nephews love it when I put on the songs. Keep rockin' it.
