About Me

Johnny is conductor of thee Electric Bastards Rock Symphony Orchestra. He is also the player of bass (his first true love) for the rock outfits Clouds , Hydronaut , the Octave Museum , and Pet Genius . He'd be in more bands if one of the aforementioned projects became a big sensation and he did not have to waste 8 whole hours a day trying to make enough dough to pay his landlord's mortgage. Then again, if he joined one more band, his loving wife just might divorce him. He enjoys rock music, fiddling with electronics, worships guitars, loves his cat and his mom, has dirty secrets, reads New Scientist magazine,often forgets were his keys are, knows what it's like to be in love, doesn't call his Dad enough, is often grumpy, hates your haircut, stole your last beer, studies the art of songcraft, has an unhealthy obsession with sports and sports radio, just turned off all the people who are too cool to like sports, doesn't give a rat's ass, doesn't listen to enough new bands, would like to live to see the 50's, thinks a lot about robots and the role of artificial intelligence in human evolution, eats peanut butter straight out of the jar, once lived in Tampa Bay, Florida, once lived in Buckfield, Maine, has seen most of the lower 48 states from the back of a smelly van, used to play catch every monday with his best friend, Geoff, got married on 10/23/04 at 5:06 p.m.(see the pattern?), was alive to witness the Red Sox win the World f.@king Series, DID call his Dad about that, practically lives at Club Awesome (our practice space), is the reigning Champion of his fantasy football league (more groans from the too-cools), is the proud uncle of one Marshall Douglas Gowell--Mars for short--who made the world better by virtue of his very existence on June 25, 2006, feels big changes on the way, will keep you posted on that, is pretty much done writing this stuff--for now. Thank you.

Hi friends.If the mood strikes you, you may take a listen to my latest chart topper, Snow Day. It is a pretty little ditty about how time seems to be accelerating as we get older and the different way...
