Johnny Got His Gun hail from one of Australia's more liveable cities, Melbourne. Although, it doesn’t feel that liveable at the moment, just bloody cold. The band formed in late 2006 and has been working hard in recent months to finish their debut album. Producing the album is the band’s guitarist Jonathan Burnside who has done some brilliant work over recent years, producing and engineering albums for The Sleepy Jackson, Dallas Crane, Plastic Palace Alice, The Dukes of Windsor and Grinspoon.
While working on the album the band has been enjoying playing shows at the many fine venues around Northcote, Brunswick, Fitzroy and St Kilda. Audiences have been nice and on the most part hygienic, which more than compensates for the band’s scruffiness. If everything goes to plan and if the singer’s girlfriend doesn’t get deported, the album will be finished and released before the end of the year.
