another gig revealed for our birthday celebrations.... some rust belt rock for the drunk and downhearted!!

FIVE HORSE JOHNSON

The city of Toledo Ohio should really consider marking 1995 as a pivotal year in its cultural history (small book that would be), for it was then that the Glass City's finest band, Five Horse Johnson, was formed. They quickly found themselves sharing the stage with the likes of Big Jack Johnson and War after just two weeks of being a band; that is just how long it took FHJ to put together their first set. Their next several years were spent in the dingy little clubs of America honing their craft.

Since then, FHJ’s hard acid blues has made the band one of the most talked about acts among everyone from NYC hipsters, to the tattooed boogie rockers of Austin, TX. Not to mention Europe, where they seem to be received with open arms in just about every city and country that they roll into. They have played with an astonishing array (not to mention number) of bands; a long list that includes Raging Slab, Thornetta Davis, Southern Culture On The Skids, Big Sugar, Hubert Sumlin, Junior Kimbrough, and R.L. Burnside. More recently they have shared stages with Clutch, Deep Purple, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Nebula, Robin Trower, Jesus Lizard, Cheap Trick, Johnny Winter, Iggy Pop, Atomic Bitchwax, Bad Company, Queens Of The Stone Age, Nashville Pussy, Monster Magnet, Alabama Thunderpussy, and have become one of the leading lights in what some people refer to as the new underground rock movement.

With four CD’s, four European and several US tours, and copious amounts of beer under their belts, Five Horse Johnson's fifth full-length album “The Last Men on Earth” is a recording firmly rooted in FHJ’s unique brand of Hard Liquor Rock: guitars, groove, and grind. Influenced by the likes of Aerosmith (the early years), ZZ Top, Howlin' Wolf and Captain Beefheart, the feel of their new record is that of a band that has finally found its stride. Tighter, stronger, American style rock without the pretenses of what passes for Rock & Roll these days, Five Horse Johnson’s “The Last Men on Earth” will convert the masses out of today's 60's Garage fashion show into the early 70's arena where it so rightfully belongs... Saddle up, you are about to be run of of town!
