Manager Heath Bradby has informed underagers not to be disappointed about the fact that there is only one all ages show on the Fall Down Tour. Jebediah will be playing a couple of pre-release hometown shows in Perth, and some in QLD, including all ages ones. There have been problems with scheduling all ages shows in NSW and VIC due to licensing laws. However, Jebediah will be rocking out on a national tour in coming months to support the new album, so never fear - you'll get your Jebediah dosage soon enough. The Fall Down Tour poster artwork is up along with the show dates, and some photos from the Jebs September gig in Manjimup may be available very soon.
Monday, 1 October 2001: It's all action at Camp Jeb at the moment! An Adelaide show has been announced, and for more information please see the [Tour Dates] section. More shows should follow. 'Fall Down' is the first single to be lifted from Jebediah's forthcoming third album. It will be released to radio and TV on 8 October and will be available in record stores on 29 October. The video clip for 'Fall Down' was shot last weekend, and rumour has it that the band will be sporting kilts. Due to the use of bagpipes in the song, or just an unusual fetish? Let's hope it's the first one. However, if you want to see some kilt action right now, check out [Hotel-Motel Jebediah] as webmaster Craig has just completed a total revamp of the site, using some of the single's artwork. Also available at Hotel-Motel is a 30-second sample of the new single, so it's worth checking out!

Friday, 14 September 2001: The Manjimup gig was a great success, and rumour has it that the first single from the band's forthcoming album will be released in October. Keep your fingers crossed!

I'd also like to express my sympathy - hang in there guys.
