Max Judo aren’t your garden-variety roots, rock, soul combo. They are fronted by an ex-pro surfer, who freely switches between a didgeridoo and a guitar during their set.
This year has been studded with success for the Qld group. They took out a Q Song award, for their tune, “What’s Going On?”, toured the USA in April and September, playing a slew of shows from the east to the west coast, and what’s more, they’ve minted their new album, Good Tonight, working with producer Caleb James, who’s lent his Midas-touch to groups such as Yves Klein Blue and Skipping Girl Vinegar. To top it off they’ve been awarded an Australian Indigenous Music Scholarship, and will be playing at One Movement Festival, Perth, before heading back to the US & UK in 2010.
