Johnsons Motorcar

It's Irish music, Jim, but not as we know it. Imagine Fairport Convention hounded into a side alley and given a good kicking by men in less folky shoes, and then emerging with the inexplicable feeling that they'd seen a better side to life. If you can get your mind around that happy scene, you're someway towards imaging Johnsons Motorcar. One of Tokyo's genuinely talented international bands, Johnsons Motorcar are guaranteed to put on a drink-fuelled, passionate, mildly violent gig wherever they plug in their electric fiddle, and we heartily recommend you're there when they do.
