This threw me straight back to school days of the 70s, when punk came along. Fast and thrashy, the lyrics launched at speed and volume, we like ‘Johnny Gone’. Get jumping. A new album is due later in the year, ‘Life On The Moon’, out on September the 5th.
Vocalist/lyricist Jeff Eaton comments: “A subvertisement. A joke? A Riddle. I feel so obsolete when it comes to all this and honestly it’s about time. I am constantly thinking of quitting. Johnny (not John Paul Eich, nor John Lyndon nor John Lennon) has been called an aimless folk zero. Accused of riding around in cars and printing revolutionary newspapers and going broke. He has ideas that burn him awake at night, he cannot hold a job. He is erotically moved by economic threats in white envelopes from government agencies. From East Palestine Ohio to Tehran Iran. A song to settle the score and use the platform for something worth it, for once and for the first time, try to have fun with it. Like a neurotic flash of lightning. A ball of fire in the night sky from a chattery missile sent to shatter peacetime. Starring Mickey Mouse, Mahsa Amini, Jinx, Jane and the Queen of California.”
