About Me

Hi, I'm Johnny. I ran The Cellar Recording Studio until it closed it's doors early last year and now work as an electrical design engineer for the rail industry. It's boring and complicated but it leaves me plenty of time to do what I really enjoy... My band, Speed Kings. We started early last year and are getting some really cool gigs now and have our debut album out as soon as we can afford to press the damned thing! I really enjoy playing gigs with the band as we get to meet loads of really cool people on the road. Check out our page and come see us live sometime
I love getting tattoos... I have my back done and a full sleeve and am slowly filling up my other sleeve now. I get all my work done by Mr. Benjamin down at Lifetime on Monk Street, Derby. Go see him, he fucking rules!
I am a bit of a straight talker so I tend to polarise people. They either think I'm great fun to be around or they hate my guts. Suits me just fine! I've never been one to care much about other people's opinions of me and it means the people I surround my self with are my true friends and not a bunch of fakes.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anybody who's into rockabilly, psychobilly, punk or any of the more fringe alternative music scenes... And maybe the zombie corpse of Hunter S. Thompson

Pigeon euthanasia

Oh the guilt! The guilt! It's tearing me apart! I left work today to witness two chavs in a white van come speeding down St. Peter's Street in Derby straight into a pigeon. The poor fucker was ly...

Rock - co. - billy

This is it! I've had enough! Someone has to say it! Brian Setzer is officially over the hill, uncool and undeserving of the title of king of rockabilly. I suffered through his occassionally chees...

Good Shot

Last week I had the honour and the privilege to see the one, the only Rev. Horton Heat in the tiniest little club in Manchester. It was the most intense gig I've been to since The Hives first tour. Ab...

100% Pure Rockabilly/Psychobilly/Rock & Roll

This is something that's been a big thing for me ever since I first got into rockabilly and psychobilly all those years ago. To anybody or any band who's ever said that they or their music is 100% pur...
