   About Mike Johnson
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Biography:

Whether as a solo artist, guitarist/producer with Mark Lanegan or bassist for Dinosaur Jr., the talented Mike Johnson has always been an active part of the indie rock scene. Starting in 1985 with the melodic punk combo SNAKEPIT he sang and played the guitar with that group for five years. In that time they released material locally in Eugene, OR, but late in 1989 they broke up. Also in 1989 Johnson began working with Mark Lanegan, becoming the instrumental force behind his solo albums. He co-wrote, co-produced and played the majority of the guitar on Lanegan's the Winding Sheet, Whiskey for the Holy Ghost, Scraps at Midnight and Field Songs albums. Johnson met up with J Mascis in this time, and eventually found his way into Dinosaur Jr. as a bassist during their 1990/1991 tour. He contributed to the following album, 1993's Where You Been, and eventually outlasted original drummer Murph and became the only other member left besides Mascis. Johnson finally released a solo album (Where Am I?) in 1994. His material echoed the stark acoustic work he had done with Lanegan, and showcased his folky songwriting skills. The Dinosaur Jr. album Without a Sound came out around the same time, and Johnson's time was mostly taken up by his work with Mascis. But 1995/1996 was a busy time for the musician, as he released Year of Mondays, toured, and worked on an album with the band Juned. When Dinosaur Jr. came back together for their last record, Johnson was not as involved and was not surprised to see the band split in 1998. He turned his attention to his solo effort I Feel Alright and more work with Lanegan, but surprisingly took an invitation from Caustic Resin to work on their new album. Their collaboration, Trick Question, appeared in 1999. After more work with Mark Lanegan, he spent the next few years playing live gigs with his various collaborators and putting together his next album, 2002's What Would You Do, an effort inspired by the tragic passing of friend and founder of the Up label Chris Takino. After four years of relative inactivity, Johnson returned with his rawest, most guitar-driven album to date,2006's powerful Gone Out of Your Mind. ~ Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide

Que ce soit en tant qu'artiste solo, guitariste/producteur avec Mark Lanegan ou comme bassiste avec Dinosaur Jr., le talentueux Mike Johnson a toujours eu une part active dans la scène Indie Rock. Il a commencé avec le groupe punk SNAKEPIT en 1985 où il a chanté et joué de la guitare pendant cinq ans. Durant cette période, ils ont sortis plusieurs enregistrements à Eugene/Oregon, mais à la fin de 1989, ils ont décidé de se séparer. La même année, Johnson commence à travailler avec Mark Lanegan, devenant la force instrumentale derrière ses albums solos. Il a co-écrit, co-produit et joué de la guitare dans les albums "The Winding Sheet"; "Whiskey for the Holy Ghost"; "Scraps at Midnight" et "Field Song". Johnson a rencontré J Mascis à ce moment là et joue de la basse dans le groupe Dinosaur Jr pendant leur tournée de 1990-1991. Il a contribué à leur alburm suivant de 1993 "Where You Been" et restera dans le groupe plus longtemps que le batteur Murph ; il deviendra le seul autre membre restant à part Mascis. Johnson sort un album solo "Where am I?" en 1994. Son oeuvre évoque le travail accoustique brutal qu'il a fait avec Lanegan et montre ses compétences en écriture. L'album de Dinosaur Jr "Without a Sound" est sorti à peu près au même moment, mais Johnson passe la majorité de son temps à travailler avec Mascis. Mais en 1995-96 il fut très occupé puisqu'il sort l'album "Year of Mondays", fait des tournées et travaille sur l'album du groupe Juned. Lorsque Dinosaur Jr se retrouve pour leur dernier album, Johnson n'était pas autant impliqué et il ne fut pas surpris de voir le groupe se séparer en 1998. Il se concentre alors sur son troisième album solo "I feel alright" et sur son travail avec Lanegan ; mais il accepte une invitation du groupe Caustic Resin de travailler sur leur nouvel album. Leur collaboration "Trick Question" apparait en 1999. Après plus de travail avec Lanegan, il passe les années à venir à jouer live avec ses différents collaborateurs et fait un autre album "What Would You Do" en 2002 ; des chansons inspirées du décès tragique de son ami Chris Takino, qui était le fondateur du label Up Records. Après quatre ans de moindre activité, Johnson revient en 2006 avec son album puissant "Gone out of your mind" qui a un son plus brut et plus orienté sur la guitare électrique. -Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide

The city is loveliest when the sweet death racket begins. Her own life lived in defiance of nature, her electricity, her frigidaires, her soundproof walls, the glint of lacquered nails, the plumes that wave across the corrugated sky. Here in the coffin depths grow the everlasting flowers sent by telegraph.....

The last time we saw you was about 8 years ago at Azkena in Vitoria as Mark Lanegans' band. Is there any chance you'll come back to Spain with your solo work?!
Thanks for your music!!

And then the day came,
when the risk
to remain tight
in a bud
was more painful
than the risk
it took
to Blossom.
