Alternative General

: 2 musicians hook up with a singer songwriter guitarist to create a powerful rock trio. Gili is a bored computer man in the day time and a bass/guitar player at night who claims that life is beautiful and still waiting for Led-Zeppelin to reunite. Jacky, when not admiring Mike Bordin, is making a living using his musical knowledge, drumming skills and radiophonic voice. His plan for the future is not to make any plans. Omer is an assistent engineer in a recording studio who doesn't have money for a psychiatrist,instead he writes songs.
Band/artist history
To make a long story short, Omer writes the lyrics and the music , along the way Gili joined the band and brought Jacky with him. The story of THE JOHNSONS started in the year 2000 and it's final line-up formed in 2003. THE JOHNSONS played allmost 30 live shows(this means a lot in israeli terms) and are currently working on their debut album. A first taste from the album can be downloaded here:
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Playing live is really the best part in beeing a musician. After building our material to a stage level we started playing live. we've played in big clubs , small clubs , very small clubs and in the smallest clubs you can find on earth. Each show was didactive,intense,experimental,fun and helped a lot in generating our sound and feel. Many!! You should have been there...
Your musical influences
The writing is influenced mostly by singers-songwriters like Neil Young/Jeff Buckly/Tom Waits, But since we are three people in the band, each of us brings his little "attachments" from home. here's a list of bands/artists we like. please do not expect our music to sound exactly like them : Led-Zeppelin , Deus , King Crimson , Radiohead , Alice in chains , The Police , Muse , Rage Against The Machine , Smashing Pumpkins , Bob Marley , Genesis , Soundgarden , Frank Zappa , Rush , Metallica , Ac-dc , Faith No More (mr. bungle included) , Hendrix , Tom Waits , Neil Young and Jeff Buckly.
What equipment do you use?
guitars-bass-drums and human hands.
Anything else?
Peace Please.
