Johnboy - Pistolswing (1993)
Unfortunately, there isn't a whole lot I can say about math rock outfit Johnboy, as there isn't much info about them online. I saw them open for Zeni Geva at The Boiler Room in scenic New Britain, CT way back in 1993. That was one hell of a show. It's a good thing I brought ear plugs with me...
Based out of Austin, Texas, Johnboy were signed to Trance Syndicate, a local label co-founded by Butthole Surfers' drummer King Coffey. Johnboy are a heavy trio with a sound that reminds me most of Steve Albini's Shellac. They only released one more album, 1994's Claim Dedications, before splitting. They're well worth checking out if you enjoy complex noise rock.

Nice! thank you
I - Hello,
II - I was remembering of this astonnishing band, Johnboy...
III - I got their two records, "Pistolswing" & "Claim dedication"...
IV - Some kind of "search-and-destroy" noise, i'd say...
V - I was looking after that band : i have just discovered they split... So sad.
VI - By the way, I saw Shellac year ago for the first time : Albini, Weston & trainer - three wolves on the loose... It was great, the french band "Zone libre" opened before them.
top site!
Damn! I just paid $4 for the CD. It wouldn't be a problem if any of it went to the record company or even the band. I guess that's the price I pay for not consulting Google sooner. Cheers!
I dunno, Yawn, I think $4 is a steal for the original CD of Pistolswing. There's nothing like owning the original!
Nice, thanks for your blog, lots of interesting stuff. Here is Johnboy from 1994: http://www.mediafire.com/?2nzmtzz5yeu
