1 September 2010 Skateboarding is the shit!

I love skateboarding.
I love comic magazines
I love Kim W Andersson
I love Coca Cola
I love Beer
I loved the Band of Horses concert i saw last week
I love that my stomache doesn't hurt anymore
I've answerd some of your questions in the guestbook. Don't be afraid to ask whatever you wanna know, i know we aren't the fastest to answer but why rush things, i hate rushing.

Love/John

23 August 2010 Check Out Johnossi live from Mejeriet in Lund Sweden from 15th of May! (only viewable if you're located in Sweden)

19 August 2010 Singel release "Dead End" med bonusspår (swedish)

iTunes >>
Spotify >>

Idag släpper vi den andra singeln från Mavericks, "Dead End".
Låten har ni förmodligen redan hört, men B-sidan är färsk. Det är en
dröm version av låten. Alltså hur låten skulle låta om den befann sig
i en mer svävande dimension, utanför den fysiska världen.

Vi kommer göra ett till (än så länge hemligt) släpp under den närmsta
månaden. Det är inte musik, men det är väldigt mycket Johnossi.

Håll ögonen öppna.

15 August 2010 Time flies

Before we know it, the summer is gone and things go back to normality again.
In our case normality means waking up in a new city every morning (read afternoon), eating meat and potatoes, drinking beer, fooling around, meeting fantastic people like you, and of course playing extraordinary shows at clubs everynight.
I like the four seasons, i'm pretty much longing for cooler days now, im sick of the sun. I love the rain.
Yesterday, i almost swallowed a bumblebee during a performance on swedish television, i wish i had.
My favourite song at the moment is this one.
I eat a lot of fish nowadays.
My favourite nighttime activity is riding a moped in the woods.
I cant stop being fascinated and dig into things that frights me, this usually mess up things for me, but it's always worth it in the long run.
I really love effects.
I don't enjoy writing words, building sentences, i wish i did.
If i could choose between having my singing voice or an opera singing voice, i think i would shift to the operavoice. I bet operastars don't eat meat and potatoes everyday.
I'm gonna pick up skateboarding again.
Mucho Love/John

26 July 2010 I just wanted to let you know that

Love

Hey beloved friends!

We're in lovely Vienna taking a slow morning. Ossi is snoring right next to me in his bed and it looks like he's smiling in his sleep.
He has all the reasons to do so... The tour so far has been fantastic, sold out shows every night, great energy and love in the air!

 

To all fans who's been giving us so much energy and love the last week - Thank you!

Oh, and a big thanks to everybody who congratulated me (John) on my 28th birthday the other day.
It's a nice feeling, knowing that I'm thought of. Makes my heart warm.

GREEN DAY – the American rock trio has chosen us to support them at their show at Ullevi in Gothenburg on 5th June! Will be great!
