Johnny Got His Gun hail from one of Australia's more liveable cities, Melbourne. Although, it doesn’t feel that liveable at the moment, just bloody cold. The band formed in late 2006 and has been working hard in recent months to finish their debut album. Producing the album is the band’s guitarist Jonathan Burnside who has done some brilliant work over recent years, producing and engineering albums for The Sleepy Jackson, Dallas Crane, Plastic Palace Alice, The Dukes of Windsor and Grinspoon.
While working on the album the band has been enjoying playing shows at the many fine venues around Northcote, Brunswick, Fitzroy and St Kilda. Audiences have been nice and on the most part hygienic, which more than compensates for the band’s scruffiness. If everything goes to plan and if the singer’s girlfriend doesn’t get deported, the album will be finished and released before the end of the year.
Hi there! Special Patrol are going to be in Melbourne this Saturday the 24th to launch their brand new album The Stranger's Dozen. Come along to the John Curtin Band Room, say hi and have a beer with us! Cheers, SP.

well i was at a party in the bush and this lady who i thought was sexy said to me out of the blue if you were an animal you would be a crab i am staring into a fire in the middle of nowhere and she says i would be a crab
now in the beginning this made me feel a little weird who did this woman think she was no man would be happy with a crab right give him a tiger a lion a horse and eagle but a crab
as the night when on i developed a crab dance that took the heat off me a little bit seems people can love crabs especially when they dance there was crab sex in a tent later that night who would have thought a crab could do such things
two things i have learnt about the crab one is that its teeth are located in its stomach so if i the cab happened to ask that sexy lady to just relax and rest her head on my stomach well you know the rest and secondly if a crab loses his claw in a battle he can just grow it back which would make piano playing interesting
if you want to see the crab dance or the man she says reminded her of crab you can see him and his wonderful talented band this SAT 25 and SUN 26 at the TOFF IN TOWN Swanston St MELB CITY show kicks off around 8 its 10 dollars cause of the recession see you there
