John Butler Trio

So my song is Pick Apart.

It's by the John Butler Trio, a Perth-based Australian group.

Basically, like this comes out in about the time when I'm 13 and I'm listening to a whole lot of pop tunes.

That's what was on in my house growing up.

John Butler was a big thing 20 years ago now.

Jeez, carbon dating oneself.

But let's have a listen to Pick Apart from the John Butler Trio.

Love it.

I love to see this.

Joining Powderfinger on the road across various locations, you'll see Something for Kate, John Butler Trio, Violent Soho, You Were My, Ballpark Music, My Girl Thelma Plum, DMA's Ocean Alley, South Summit, and so many more.

The Powderfinger Encore shows go on presale from this Wednesday.

Up next...

Hugh Jackman wasn't there, but I think he had a video message that was played.

We had John Butler from, as you know, John Butler Trio, which I thought he was from Fremantle because I think we've claimed him and he is from WA, but I didn't realise that he was originally from California and then moved to Pinjarra.

But he has been known for his activism, so he came on stage and he...

He talked about his, I guess, efforts in opposing some oil and gas developments in WA.

Yeah, yeah.

John Butler Trio without John.

Without John.

Yeah,

didn't realize how much of a not cool surfer guy I was.

And I used to wear a lot of wooden beads and listen to a lot of John Butler Trio.

That is true.

You lived in Fremantle as well.

So as for songs, there's a broad range that'll probably come across my playlist.

I'm gonna go with Better Man by the John Butler Trio.

That'll be a regular.

If I'm firing up, probably No Cigar by Mel and Colin.

Mathias Cormann, the Secretary General of the OECD, is coming back to Perth to also participate.

We also have John Butler, who will deliver... of John Butler Trio, who will deliver his, what I'm told is his first ever keynote address.

So we've got a great lineup.

We'll also have leaders from the Pacific as well.
