BE WHERE I BE

About Me

Judah Johnson is a band and has never been the same yesterday, today, or forevermore. This summer there will be released upon the earth a second full-length which will be like honey pouring from your eyes of sound. Flameshovel Records make the rules and cut the checks and tuck us in at night. Roberta Moore runs our ministry of information and is handling the public discourse on Judah Johnson. Satellite Booking sends us to places to do shows and communicates advice in real time through an ear piece when we play. People write us, listen to us, threaten us, favor us, forget us, despise us and occassionally touch us. This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5
