Bongo Jones

It's over, Johnny

About Me



bongo jones is dead, but this is what we believed: never be boring. We were like one of those carefully assembled comp CDs your weirdo friend from high school used to make for you. Every song was different but every song rocked. That was us. And we loved it. You can check out our new project at myspace.com/gogovolante.

"...music with a serious respect for instinct that goes really far. This is totally original and perfectly implemented..."
