Jonny Was, started as a 3 piece formed by Shane West in 1998, and took California by surprise with their witty true-to-life music. They got off to a good start gaining popularity with the success of Shane's film "A Walk To Remember," co-staring with pop-star Mandy Moore. Also, Shane later on landed a role alongside Sean Connery in "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen," as well as a regular spot on hit t.v. show "E.R." All the fame contributed by each of these roles enabled Jonny Was to destroy and conquer various venues around Los Angeles and Orange County.
Fast forward to early 2005, Jonny Was kicked off the year with the announcement of their transformation to a 5 piece band. Inclusive of lead singer and guitarist Shane West; Brett Klorer of Hollywood Endings, Mind Driver, and Dekker on guitar; Casey McGuire of Hollywood Endings, Beauty School Dropouts, Dekker, and Weir ..boards; Matt Jefferson of Hollywood Endings, Up Syndrome, and The Middle on bass. With a sound of dynamism and all the pawn in place, Jonny Was is preparing for battle.
Powerful lyrics, enchanting harmonies, and a bond between the members unlike any other band on the scene, lead to their rapidly growing fan base and well deserved attention. Feats including sold out venues all over California, an appearance on VH1 and t.v. show E.R., and songs on soundtracks for hit movies "A Walk To Remember," and "Bringing Down The House."
Recent developments of Jonny Was encompass a brand new E.P. set to hit your local music store soon, and a tour of the West Coast in the making.
