About Me



Max Judo are a fresh exciting 4 piece from the Tweed/Gold Coast. Having toured both the U.S twice and JAPAN in recent times the group is gaining a ever popular fanbase both here in OZ and abroad. They have just returned from their most recent stint in the States where they played at the popular NACA conference in St Louis, Missouri. NACA is America’s most prominent college entertaintment booking conference and the Max Judo boys are set to head back in September for a 2 month college/Club tour throughout the US. Max Judo formed 6yrs ago and since been busy playing shows up and down the eastern seaboard from Hamilton Island to the Stages of Sydney. Their unique brand of music, features the contempary use of the didgeridoo blending with solid rock/dance grooves with their "live show" filling the dance floors whenever they hit the stage. The lads have played festivals such as THE WOODFORD FOLK FESTIVAL-BIG DAY OUT,GOLD COAST-"LEXMARK INDY 07"-"QUIKSILVER PRO"-NEWTOWN FESTIVAL-YABUN FESTIVAL&THE DREAMING & have supported & shared stages alongside various headline acts such as Xavier Rudd, Marcia Hines, James Reyne, End Of Fashion, Christine Anu and Mental as Anything.The band also has very strong ties within the surfing community and have just finished a 3 show tour with surfing great, Tom Curren with 2 of the 3 shows sold out. 2008 is set to be busy times for the lads, with their debut album to be recorded mid year followed by the US tour and back for the Aussie summer 08/09.
