The Leo Johnson Experiment

About Me

Three guys from three different and talented bands with an ambition to do something about the great, great gap of THE NOTHING! In the year of 2007 Martin (Virak) met up with Ulrik (Girlfriend) and was soon joined by Thomas (Lupus). The band was brought together in a shared distaste for hit templets and stereotypical music without heart and soul. Just two weeks after the first rehearsel a set list was created from the foundation of one creative mind melting together with two other ones. The style encompasses a combination between fast, loud and in your face rock and blues to more slow and dreamy grooves hooked on great melodies. True spirits and wanderers with happier souls started a search of escaping Leo Johnson.
