The idea for The Johnsons first came about in 2002, when Spoon and Jake met for a few pints in their local ..Basingstoke.. pub. They decided to put together a band that would incorporate elements of the music they love: Punk, Blues, and Rock 'n' Roll.....
They first recruited Jim, a drummer they had both worked with in the past and started developing material. The next recruit was Deenie who Spoon knew from drunken dancing at a local club. With Jake, Ian and Deenie all writing material the songs started taking shape.....
Soon The Johnsons had established themselves as a solid anarchic and flamboyant act on the local music scene and found themselves a loyal local fanbase. 2006 saw them focussing on ....London.... town (with the odd scurry elsewhere) and the feedback from audiences has been fantastic.
....
By the summer of '06, with four EPs under the belt, Deenie had morphed into a feline, zombie nightmare known as Pussycat and Jim had decided to retire from the wild side of life to follow the mild side. ....
.. ..
Pussycat then introduced the other remaining Johnsons to the wild, rock 'n' roll 'sticksman' Antz and The Johnsons were reborn.....
.. ..
After several scorching gigs, Antz was firmly established as the man on the stool behind The Johnsons and their quirky adventures into Blues, Punk, Rockabilly and Zombie Rock 'n' Roll continue and grow.....
.. ..
The band will be working with producer Alex McGowan January/February '07 on a new EP to be released in Spring '07.....
