Southern Skyline

About Me


Alright! I'm not a band. You can call me a musician or maybe just someone who likes music a lot. Both listen to, write and perform. I live in Stockholm and been doing that since february or March... don't really remember. Anyway... I've been doing a lot of things in my life but right now I'm playing with two great bands;
MIDNIGHT SCRAPER & SOUTHERN SKYLINE
In MIDNIGHT SCRAPER I play the bassguitar. Please visit our myspace and drop a line or two!
In SOUTHERN SKYLINE I play the drums and I try not to sound so bad on the vocals. SOUTHERN SKYLINE haven't been around for a very long time but now things are happening quite fast. Make sure you hop on the train in time! Both of the bands is on my top friends so it's very easy to stop by and say hello!
I'm also collaborating with a band called CHIKAN. Actually it's just one guy (Petter), but a brilliant one and I was given the opportunity to play the guitar with him and some other great musicians (Jon, Stefan, Kalle) at a short tour in Germany this spring. We still keep in touch and hopefully we'll do some shows together again!
Now if you've read this far I'll tell you 'bout the two songs on my profile... I wrote them almost three years ago and they're uploaded because that's the only shit I've recorded during that time. You have to understand I'm not lazy or something but some songs is used in the SOUTHERN SKYLINE setting and some of them are just words and chords on a paper waiting to be recorded. The only thing that prevents me to record it is lack of time and some help to get it done.
Take care,
With Love, Johan
