Ain't Telling The Truth Tour
Bluejuice are dainty fellows. They know how to set a dining table, and they know the call of a rainbow lorikeet when they hear one. They're too polite to take the last hors doeuvre, and they walk on the outside of a footpath to protect their lady-friends from a vehicular drenching on a rainy day. Bluejuice are your seats down, coats around, and doors open type of guys.
Its a shame then that these suggestions of good manners boil away to nothing in the face of a deep-seated psychological need to lie. They lie to their grandmothers. They lie to their Chihuahuas. They lie to their manager about writing relevant press releases.
Bluejuice's new single Ain't Telling The Truth is an homage to their passion for the lie. The only thing truthful about the song is the title that it ain't telling the truth. Its one of those songs with a descriptive title (much like Stevie Winwoods Valerie was most likely about someone named Valerie). It is the second single from their second album Head Of The Hawk.
But the real truth is that the single follows the giant success of Broken Leg which picked up an ARIA nomination for Breakthrough Song of the Year and hit the #5 slot on the worlds biggest music poll Triple Js Hottest 100. The video scored Video of the Year nods from Rage, Myspace and iTunes and it has sold more than a whopping 50,000 copies and still going strong.
And from March 31st through to until May 9th the band will take that mix of manners and miss-truths and The Holidays on the road with the Ain't Telling The Truth Tour proudly presented by Nova, Video Hits, and Myspace.

SIZZLING 2010
Having attained a well-earned ARIA Award loss for Top 40 hit, Broken Leg, Bluejuice have big plans for 2010. Despite their pasty complexions, their complete rejection of shorts as a fashion item, and their general reluctance to go outside for any reason, the band have decided to spend summer touring the sizzling Australian countryside.
"Sizzling 2010" is a mini music fiesta also featuring their pals Yves Klein Blue, The Jezabels, and White Birds & Lemons, which will allow all members to throw off the shackles of their debilitating inner city paranoia and embrace the sunny delights of regional Australia.
Check out the 'tours page for details.
