   About useless wooden toys
Christopher Allen Johnson was born in South Bend Indiana on June 8th,1976.He married the love of his life Michele Riordan on his birthday,June 8th 2007.He is survived by his wife Michele,mother Wendy,father Kenny,sister Dawn,cousin Ryan,and his two nephews Christopher and Taylor. Chris Johnson was of two singers in the Minneapolis based thrash/hardcore band Useless Wooden Toys.He was also the lead vocalist in another Minneapolis band called Loaded First /Bonner head.Music and skating were his passions.When Useless Wooden Toys would tour,he and the boys would invade every skate park in the nation along the way.He loved to play thrash,and was a very proficient skater.Chris was a standup guy who was always there for friends and family.He made many friends on the road and this is a devastating loss to all that knew him,gigged with him,and partied with him. Chris Johnson was murdered June 21st,2008 for defending a female friend of his who was being groped by a random redneck named Brian P. White in Bloomington Indiana.The murderer was caught by police two hours after the attack hiding in a cellar like a coward.Chris fought the attacker Brian P. White, off of his friend,then White ran into the home where the house show/party being held,grabbed a knife,and attacked Chris stabbing him in the chest. Chris Johnson died for being a standup guy who was defending a female from being groped unwillingly by White.He will always be honored and remembered as a great friend,husband,brother and skater that he was.Rest in peace bro.You will be missed and never forgotten -Yapple Ruelas Maximum rocknroll 303

NATIONAL DAY OF PROTEST
AGAINST POLICE BRUTALITY

Wednesday, October 22nd at 4:30pm
Kellogg Park, Kellogg & Wabasha, St. Paul

From mass police brutality during the RNC, to the everyday brutality against people of color and poor people in the streets and in the jails. Something has to be done to end their reign of terror.
• We need a real civilian review authority that holds cops accountable and isn’t just a rubber stamp agency!
• End beatings and abuse in jails - and prosecute the brutal jailers!
• No more bogus charges against police brutality victims. Prosecute brutal cops!
• Drop ALL charges against the RNC arrestees - Dissent is not a crime!
• Fire cops who lie in police reports or in court!

We must let the authorities know that
we will no longer be silent
in the face of police brutality!

Sponsored by Communities United Against Police Brutality

For more information, or help with
an incident of police brutality,
call our 24-hour hotline: 612-874-STOP




Communities United Against Police Brutality

Join us also to commemorate Stolen Lives -
people who have died at the hands of law enforcement officers in Minnesota.
These people can no longer speak for themselves - we must speak for them.

STOLEN LIVES REMEMBERANCE

Oct 3 2008 7:05 PM





Lots of great bands have come through Signaturetone recently, and we've helped unleash some spectacular new records from a bunch of genres. Check these artists out and support local music!

The Killer Dolphin With Rabies (angular heaviness)

The Angry Mothers (pure high energy rock and roll excess)

Nobot (electronic beats with a heart of raw power analog)

Ambassador Gun (unstoppably amazing smartgrind)

Orange Blank (indie rock for math majors)


Let us give you the record you've always wanted but thought you wouldn't be able to get without mortgaging your home (again). Indie rock to alt country to extreme grind to free jazz, we've got the tape and tubes all warmed up for you.
