About Me


we're back in action... hot!

Johnny Saw Horses are James and Jess. They formed in 2003. How sweet. Ever since they have been constantly rehearsing, playing, performing, drinking, sleeping, and entering a state of psychosis afterwards. Every time.
Putting their many grammatical and digestive errors aside, these two Melbourne based electricity conductors are commited to producing a product that is reproducible in your own home when you have their product in your hands. What sort of product this will end up being is a mystery. A mystery James and Jess are still looking into, excavating, fighting over, listening to and being mildly frightened by.
Their releases so far:
Old Demo (2004)
Tie the Legless Bitch to the Mast
(2005 - 21 tracks, limited run with hand made individual art work for each disk)
New Demo (2005)
Autumn Tailgated My Daughter
(2006 - 6 tracks, 1 secret, limited run of 25, individual 'surprises' in each disk)
Mujer Muerta EP
(2007 - 6 tracks with artwork from Brigit Ryan and photography by Veronica Carrasco)
Autumn Tailgated My Daughter
(reissued on Paeoniflorum Records with new artwork by Sophie Penrose)

The new EP, Mujer Muerta (our baby...), is all finished and ready to go out. It (and its recently reissued brethren, Autumn Tailgated My daughter) shall be selling in selected shops around Melbourne (more news as it comes) and also through this myspace page. If you'd like to buy the EP, let us know and something can be worked out. If you would like any of the other above recordings, or more information regarding them, something can be arranged...
