JOHNNY MASSIVE

About Me

Rolling Stone Magazine… “They create an eccentric sound that is thoroughly entertaining”
Brag magazine… “This 4 piece play with precision and authority… You can’t beat a polished band playing tight grooves beefed up with imaginative solos and a sense of unabandoned fun”
This band has made a decision to no longer hide beneath an ambiguous leather mask and as such they will no longer go under their name of the past 7 years. They have removed the mask of Quirk the Gimp to reveal who they truly are…
JOHNNY MASSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And with this revelation they feel they can now move forward unhindered toward a future of immeasurable proportions.
Johnny Massive already holds a reputation for putting on a high-energy show and there are many more to come as this tight, hard-hitting and all out funky group injects a taste of what makes them tick into your 6 senses.
The band is a fully maintained rock/funk machine with killer songs as they present an experience not to be missed! With vibrant Aussie charm, youth and vivacity, Johnny Massive is ready to unleash fresh and funkier masterpieces upon you. Energy courses through each of their tracks like a visible entity with a combination of funkadelic riffs, strong vocals and driving bass lines. There’s a little rock, a lot of funk, and even more infectious beats to shake your behind to, as Johnny Massive serve it up to the ever growing masses.
The boys are now in the process of preparing for another studio recording. They have come so far since their 2005 debut and have so much to offer their loyal fans, that it is time to bestow upon you all the new stuff…all that is massive!
They have already exposed themselves with their first album Giants and they are exposing all their boundaries with their new web series Cop a Go of This Shit!!! A journey through their crazy yet modest life that is sure to amuse even the newest of Johnny Massive fan.
With talks under way with management and promotional companies eager to help in their quest for a spot on the world stage; and opportunities for larger supports and festivals coming their way too, it looks to be an exciting year ahead.
Any way you look at it, the future is bright for these maverick renegades.
It is sure to be…. JOHNNY MASSIVE!!!
