Friday, 17 June 2002: Shows updated.
A sizeable list of tour dates over the July/August period have been added to the Shows section. The tour will be promoting 'NDC' and playing all shows except WA will be Gyroscope and Bluebottle Kiss.
Jebediah's next single 'NDC' is set for release on July 1st and will be available in 3 different formats: 7" vinyl, normal CD single and DVD single with some additional features such as live footage etc. Due to unavoidable difficulties, the DVD release date has been pushed back to July 22nd, so you're just going to have to hang in there for that one.
Positions for the Jebediah Street Team filled up within the first 2 hours of availability online. If you got in quick enough, congratulations and make sure you work really hard to promote Jebediah! You should be getting your swag this week sometime. If not, don't be too disappointed but continue to support and promote Jebediah and maybe even get a few friends together and start yr own street team. In the meantime, get yr Jebs fix by viewing this NDC e-card.
Friday, 24 May 2002: Shows updated.
Jebediah have been confirmed for the Splendour In The Grass festival! The festival takes place in Byron Bay, on the weekend of July 20-21st, and Jebediah will be playing alongside acts such as Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Rocket Science, Gerling, Supergrass and Gomez among many others. For more information, please see the Splendour In The Grass website.
Stay glued to yr television this Saturday night, 25th May and put a tape on because Jebediah are guest programming RAGE. Should be an interesting watch.
The next off the ranks in the singles stakes is 'NDC'. The video clip was shot the other day, and rumour has it that the scene was a bowling alley, and there's a couple of people in the clip that Perth people will most certainly recognise. Release dates are still being worked out but keep an eye out for the NDC vinyl and some sort of special release on yr record store shelves.
Pssssst! For Perth fans wanting to catch one of Kev's secret live shows under the alias "Bob Evans", come to The Fergusons CD Launch on Saturday, 25th(18+ only) at the Grosvenor Hotel, Perth. Doors open 7.30 and there's free beer at the bar until 8.30...get in early!
Tuesday, 23 April 2002: This site hasn't been updated in over a month - sorry! Today I added a heap of new articles and reviews, so please check the respective sections. New member Ellen has been added to the Fan Area. Also, over the next few weeks I should hopefully be getting some photos from the recent tour up on the site, so watch this space.
The State Of The Nation tour concluded with a rockin' all ages show at The Globe in Perth on Sunday. Those who have been following the tour diary will know how the tour has been progressing, but if you haven't been reading, click here and head to the 'Jebediaries' section.
Hopefully everyone caught the special Jebediah J-Files on Triple J with Richard Kingsmill a couple of weeks ago. It was a fantastic three hours of old interviews, Jebediah-only tracks, and rare radio broadcasts.
Sadly, Michael's Jebediah site Falling Out Again is no longer being updated, which is a real shame because it was a fantastic site, and certainly a lot better than this one! And so, In Orbit is the only still frequently updated Jebediah fan site. I'll try to keep things as fresh and up to date as possible.
Sunday, 17 March 2002: Articles added to Articles section, More dates and the State of the Nation tour poster added to Shows section.
Sorry about the lack of updates lately, but things have been pretty crazy around here. But there's some new stuff for you to feast your eyes on, including four new articles, plus more to come. Thanks to Gaynor for providing two of the articles.
Also, there is an official tour diary up on the Hotel-Motel site, which has some pretty funny anecdotes on what the Jebs have been up to so far on their nationwide tour. More tour dates have been announced, this time for the lucky people of Tasmania. See the Shows section for details.
I've added a Multimedia section to the site, which will contain miscellaneous things for you Jeb fans to download onto your mobile phones, winamp, computers, wherever. Hopefully this section of the site will grow, but at the moment there are 7 computer wallpapers up that I've made. Enjoy!
Friday, 2 March 2002: 3 new articles added, Shows updated.
Do the Jebs a favour and vote for the new single 'Nothing Lasts Forever' at Channel [V], Triple J's Net 50 and Nova FM.
Jebediah are doing a couple of east coast instores as well, although the Melbourne one is a signing only, so check the Shows section for more details. Head on down and say g'day.
If you go to the Channel [V] website, you'll be able to download a Jebediah mobile phone logo. Not only is this pretty damn cool but it also entitles you to a discount on your purchase of the new album, out Monday! Simply take your phone sporting the Jebs logo into a Sanity store and you'll be able to pick up the album for only $21.95. That's cheap as chips for a good quality release, so get downloading.
If you were a good little internerd yesterday you would have caught a special preview of the entire new album, broadcast via the Channel [V] website, complete with commentaries in between (courtesy of Kev). Kev talked about the meanings of the new tracks etc, and hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on a transcript of some sort for the site. Apologies for not posting something about this in advance.
Channel [V] seem to be going a little crazy with the Jebediah promotion, it seems. The band are also playing at V HQ at Fox Studios on Thursday, March 7, so if you are in Sydney, it kicks off at 6.00pm.

If you were listening to Kingsmill's Oz Music Show on Triple J after midnight last Wednesday, you would have heard two sneak preview tracks from the upcoming album. Kingsmill played tracks 'Eveready' and 'Country Holiday Song' which were both exciting indications of some fantastic music to come.

Also, there have been several rumoured upcoming shows in WA, so check the Shows section for more details.
Want to get your hands on Jebediah's upcoming third album as soon as it hits the shelves? Well, the team at Whammo have put together an offer you can't refuse.

It seems that the Jebs are popping up everywhere lately, even the world of sports. Australian cricketer Damian Martyn has entered an agreement with Sony Music this summer, displaying a Jebediah sticker on his bat for a recent round of international matches. This is great exposure for the band, as the sport will be broadcast on televisions everywhere. Click here for images.
On January 14, the Jebs headed to Margaret River, South-West WA, to shoot the video clip for the next single, "Nothing Lasts Forever". It has been confirmed that the single will be released on February 18, prior to Jebediah's fast-approaching album release date on March 4.

The performance will also be aired on television (Channel 10) in the near future - In Orbit will keep you posted.
In other news, Front End Loader are the newest recruits to Jebediah & Naked Ape's Redline Records.
Friday, 4 January 2002: Live Pics and Shows were updated today. In Orbit has been on somewhat of a hiatus the last month or so, due to myself being in Melbourne on holidays, and the general Christmas|New Year's craziness. But it's a new year, and so it's back to the grindstone, both here and at Jebs HQ...
Although things have been quiet on the gig front since the wrap-up of the Fall Down tour, a huge tour to promote the new album has been scheduled for March|April. We'll keep you posted!

For more information, please view the Rockalonga festival website, and for infomation on past and upcoming Jebediah gigs, see the Shows section.
On December 13, Kev returned from Sydney after completing the mastering process of album number three, and if all went according to plan, all that should be left to decide on is artwork before the album hits the shelves in March. The question on everyone's lips at the moment is what single number two, to be released in February will be. Remember to vote for 'Fall Down' (#199 on the list) in the Triple J Hottest 100 Voting Poll, because time's running out! Hope you had a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and enjoy the rest of yr summer.
