About Jke Johnson

There is a sleepy ambience that accompanies most one man bands. Lets face it, when you hear someone refer to themself as such, you automatically think of an acoustic guitar or two, and a loop petal. You think of dreamy soundscapes and hipster psychedelic pop lyrics. When Jke Johnson takes the stage he shatters the images and cliches with bursts of raw feedback from his trusted Stratocaster, and his whispers of prose lead into the uninhibited screams of someone who just wants to fuck with your head. Jke began his career playing alternative folk songs in coffee houses in the quiet home of Mark Twain. After a mild obsession with Sonic Youth, Nirvana, and the Sex Pistols that grew into a major infatuation with feedback and the beauty of noise Jke began laying low, trying to formulate a style that would allow him to use traditional song structures but still remain completely in the moment. Shunning the idea of forming a band (The inability to find anyone to jam with) Jke invested in a loop station. Mixing influences from Rage Against the Machine and Tom Waits, all of Jkes rhythm comes from a mix of beating the shit out of his guitar in an unholy manner and piss poor scat. Watch out midwest Jke Johnson is coming your way!

joe	Apr 30 2008 6:48 PM i hear the police came and shut you down. it's fitting...like the beatles last performance atop the apple building. hope you're doing well
Sara	Apr 29 2008 10:10 PM Jke, Just so you know: Your CONCERT was AWESOME!! Sorry the cops came and broke it up! lol; what a way to end it. For future reference: your acoustic is your strength. When you sing about REAL life with your guitar; (your dad, I miss you so fucking much...) your audience will connect with you the most and they will appreciate you even more... (just my opinion; take it or leave it) We'll miss you more than words can write; please come back and put on a show whenever you visit! love ya dude Sara

Sara	Mar 5 2008 11:14 PM Free cookie dough swirls all around!
just meg	Mar 3 2008 1:35 PM Oh Bubby!! I love you so entirely much. It has just killed me over the last few weeks that you are moving so far away. I have been just so sad. You are my favorite person. Our family is a unique family but the more and more I look at us the more I realize that we are all individually wonderful. I can't stand the fact that we might lose each other and I never thought we would until recently. I hope it never happens but always know that even if you are millions of miles away I love you farther and deeper than that. You are my bro--we are of the same blood, we will always be family before anything else in this world. I am glad to be back. Lets hang out--How about at the end-ish of March. I wanted to do some work at Dad's storage units, would you be interested?
