“Aussie Rockers Juke Kartel Make Their US Debut With “Levolution” We got our first taste of Juke Kartel when their frontman Toby Rand participated in “Rockstar: Supernova”. After the show he returned to Australia to reunite with his band Juke Kartel. Fast forward to the present and the band is about to release their album Levolution on Carved Records on September 28th. Levolution finds musical symmetry in its strong hooks, multi-textured instrumentals and passionate vocals. ”

“Honed amidst the underground club scene of Melbourne, Juke Kartel has arrived on U.S. soil ready to rock. In little more than four years, the five-member band has gone from local larrikins to fast-rising stars – opening for Nickelback and sharing the stage with Slash, Ozzy Osbourne, Fergie and Ronnie Wood. This summer they open the Australian leg of Slash’s world tour and, later this fall, will introduce their own brand of hard-driving rock to stages across America. ”

“Juke Kartel readies ‘Nowhere Left to Hide‘, aims it at their audience, and fires the commencing shot “Save Me”. A friendly, inviting opener that still has balls, “Save Me” uses its bass-driven verses as stepping stones to the mammoth hook embedded in the tune’s slinky chorus. Rating 9 ”

8:30 PM / 8:00 doors www.uncleslaytons.com HURT is an apt name for a band that has been exploring man’s struggle with the human condition. J. Loren Wince has crafted 4 critically acclaimed and smart studio albums that reveal as much of his philosophy as his musical perfectionism, and 2009’s Goodbye to The Machine doubled down on Hurt’s brand of intelligent hard rock with a heavy dose of insight of our collective humanity. HURT is a purveyor of divine tragedy and J. Loren’s depiction of personal suffering on the micro and macro level has come full circle with the band’s soon to be released 5th studio album The Crux (Street date 3/27/2012 on Carved Records), which will entertain and illuminate and, as the title implies, get to the heart of the matter. The release of The Crux also marks another milestone for Hurt as they have signed with Carved Records for what will be a new multi-album relationship. Per the band: “We’re excited to showcase familiar tunes in a new light with our upcoming acoustic tour. It has been something that fans have been requesting for quite some time and, as musicians, it is also important for us to keep reinventing ourselves, even if sometimes that means going back to the roots. Most of these songs were written on acoustic instruments and it is one of the strengths of this band that I look forward to sharing with you. See you there.”
