The Mother F**cken Johnstonessss!

You know its gonna be a good day when your day starts off with the Boys in the Johnstones!

My S.C.E.N.E Music Festival day started off with The 6 Piece Ska/Pop/Punk/Rap Group from Ajax Ontario at Market Square in St. Catherines. 

I have now seen the Johnstones play more times then I can remember but I have noticed though the Years that the frontman Ryan Long has come out from behind the Drums to become the driving force in this always entertaining group of young men. 

The energy bouncing off the stage was electric and the sun was shining through out the 40 minute set on sunday afternoon. The crowd was gathering as the boys, sporting "poop stained" white pants..and not much else tore up the stage! Ryan with his curly blonde locks and tattooed arms jumped around the stage, and even off of it, keeping the crowd fully engaged in the music. The Johnstones are a band who are emerging out of the Toronto music scene as a force to be reckoned with ! Selling over 10,000 copies of their albums on their own, and having toured all over the place and constantly selling out hometown shows and opening for Hedley. It will be interesting to see where these boys end up next!

although I think they should get rid of the gimmicks and focus on their music, as it is pretty awesome.. I look forward to seeing the guys play again, as they totally make me wanna dance!
