To keep it short: JOHNSTON was founded in Bremen, Germany in the beautiful year 2000. Why beautiful ?
Because JOHNSTON was founded and...oh, forget it.
Anyway. The ten most important facts to know about JOHNSTON:
Fact 1: JOHNSTON's original bandname 'Asteroidengürteltier' had to be changed due to impending legal problems: in fear of getting his ass sued by drummer Worz, guitarist Meise gnashingly agreed to rename the band. Meise's broken heart never fully recovered.
Fact 2: JOHNSTON's bassplayer Kaptain appeared in 2001 with the rapid suddenness of a slightly drunken
doomsday device and surprisingly never left again. There must be something about JOHNSTON...
Fact 3: Guitarist McFly (landed 2005) has to be imagined as a well designed joke of evolution: by mixing genes of
american actor Michael J. Fox, brazilian football star Diego Ribas da Cunha and a solid block of wood, nature
created a hybrid of the extraordinary kind. Well, at least kind of....
Fact 4: JOHNSTON play some sort of Death Metal, but due to their coastal origin they prefer the term 'Death
Mettaal'. You don't have to understand that in detail, but it would be very helpful.
Fact 5: The release of JOHNSTON's debut album 'WELCOME TO THE WEASELDOME' on May 15th 2009 marks the
end of 25 months of recording and production. Yes, they also took a break once in a while.
Fact 6: The album features six songs in the exact order in which they were written. So, as a matter of fact AND
logically speaking, the album can be used to take a journey to the actual future of metal. Ain't that incredible ?!
Fact 7: The JOHNSTON members use aliases instead of their real names, not because in real life they are Arnold
Schwarzenegger, Franz Beckenbauer, Arthur Schopenhauer and Joachim 'Blacky' Fuchsberger, but just for the
hell of it. Also, their real names sound stupid.
Fact 8: The last time JOHNSTON brought their collected deposit bottles from their rehearsal room to the store,
they got 35,66 € in return. Fanta only of course !
Fact 9: Although none of the JOHNSTON members consume meat regularly, they all share a certain affinity to
Mett, especially in its uroboric hedgehog form. So, not for no reason at all, JOHNSTON had „Mettzilla ½ & ½“ on
their list of possible album titles.
Fact 10: All known gold ressources on the planet 'Earth' could be put into a cube with an edge length of 26
meters. Actually, this doesn't have the slightest thing to do with JOHNSTON.
Now here's what some glamorous celebrities had to say about the album. None of them ever heard of the album or
the band, nor were they asked to give any comment about this subject, therefore they actually didn't. But you
MUST read, what they WOULD have said:
Selma Hayek (mexican actress):
"I've been dating these guys for such a long time now, and
damn it, they still make me hot."
Thomas Schaaf (head coach of german football team Werder Bremen (Cup Winner 2009)):
"Yes, eh, Werder was not so good in the last season, but won
the cup, that was good. For the next season I am hoping to
engage Johnston to play inside the dressing room before and
after each game, and also in the the half time. I am sure, the
team will get their asses up then. Johnston gut ! Also Klaus
(Allofs, Manager of Werder Bremen) wants Johnston as new
main jersey sponsor, but in this case we are going to pay them.
But we will have to wait, what the guys say."
Jo Bench (bassplayer of Bolt Thrower):
"Honestly, I'm thinking about getting a Kaptain tattoo. He's so
cute after all !"
Icke & Er (german hip hop heroes):
"Ey, pump it up, Alter !"
Pope Benedikt XVI (never heard of):
"This album made me want to puke my guts out. But I LOVED
the lyrics to 'Hell Seer'."
So decide for yourself:
Do the right thing and buy JOHNSTON's debut „WELCOME TO THE WEASELDOME“ right now !
Or: be the bad guy, the killer, the hunter, the marauder, the lame-ass, who keeps listening to...other stuff or
something.
