Juke Kartel that band from down under(read Australia) led by the popular vote getter from the 2006 season of Rock Star Supernova, Toby Rand……..

In the time since I last saw them live, in Baltimore, MD 2006…they have changed their style a bit, performance wise…a bit darker…Toby does not Kangarilla around as much… He looks to be lean, yet still well muscled, lol…well displayed by the wifebeater tank he is sporting through most of the images I have featured…

They have an Austrailian release out and available, “Nowhere left to Hide”

They have taken up current residence(read extended visit) in LA…and I was lucky enough to catch their closing set at the after show at the Lovehammers(blog on them next) west coast  CD release party…

I had planned on coming to LA visit with some friends and catch the Lovehammers. I was pleasantly surprised when a few days before I left, Juke Kartel announced they would also be performing…

The Key Club has fun lights, so even though I set up residence back by the bar, I decided to snap off some shots…They are colorful, if a bit grainy, but hey texture isn’t a horrible thing…it tells you what kind of night it was…

Good looking boys…check them out…
