Formed on the banks of Clapton Pond in the spring of 2007, jonnygonehome sing songs about frustration and plaster. When they're not making lots of noise (thankfully in an end of terrace house with no-one living downstairs) and jaunting around North East London with their mix of "Balkan Beats"/blues/Danny Elfman thing, they can count mixing the lime and shouting at youth as their more orthodox actvities. When the brief Last Man disbanded, thanks to Jonny Ruddy being deported, Lee Squire was finally persuaded to sing in front of people. Gradually the acoustic sound developed at their regular haunt, The Stage Door in Waterloo, into the "sticky" electric noise you hear before you.
