Hey Friends,
Check out our new video for Dead End which was made by production company Akileja who also made the great filmpiece for our song Mavericks. In Dead End they have created an alternative miniature model world partly inspired from the comic book story Dead End which will feature in our upcoming project Johnossi Comics magazine. We love it and hope you will too.
Check both videos here >>
Our Swedish tour kicked off last week and it has been amazing!
Check all our Scandinavian tour dates under Tour section.
Note! The show in Bollnäs has been cancelled. But we are looking to add a few more shows.
Last but not least - Johnossi Comics will soon be out - book your copy here >>
Hey!
Here's a short update on what's goin on in johnossiworld.
The Norweigan band "Big Bang" will open the show in Stockholm and Gothenburg. Come early!
We have answered some of you questiones in the guestbook.
A lot of you guys can't see our new videos for Dead End and Mavericks on youtube outside of Sweden, this is because somebody at the recordcompany or youtube has a very slow brain, we apologise for this, we're working on it.
Love
/Johnossi
And here's the official video for "Mavericks"
The first autumn tour is done, it's been totally amazing!
All our love to all of you who turned up!
Thank you Berlin for an unforgettable and at the same time unremindable last night on tour!
Stockholm, here we come!
Lots of love
/Johnossi
We are so sorry, but john has lost his voice and he can't sing at all!
We promise that we will come back to Munich and Nürnberg as soon as possible, all tickets are valid for the next shows in Munich and Nürnberg.
If you rather wish to get your money back, please refund your ticket where you bought it.
Once again, we're so sorry for this!!
Love
Johnossi
Since Motoboy is sick, we now have a new support act for Osnabruck, Cologne, Karlsruhe, Munich and Nurnberg.
It's Carl Noren,.
Carl is taking a break from his band Sugarplum Fairy and is currently working on his solorecord. We are happy that he wanted to join us on such a short notice!
Motoboy will join the tour again in Vienna.
Due to that our Swedish tour premiere in Uppsala has been sold out since a long time, we have added an extra show there:
15 December Uppsala, Katalin
Tickets go on sale Friday 1st October - here!
Unfortunatly Moto Boy couldnt stand the heavy pressure of touring with Johnossi, he got sick and had to go home to his mother for a couple of days.
He will rejoin the tour in Vienna. So right now, there is no supportact in Osnabruck, Cologne, Karlsruhe, Munich and Nurnberg, but we're working on it!
The tour has been amazing so far, and more amazing it will be!!
Love/Johnossi
And only a few tickets left in many of the other cities. So get them! We bring Swedish artist Moto Boy with us as support act - come early as he surely is amazing.
Our tour in Sweden kicks off on October 14th in Uppsala - which is already sold out (we are looking into find an extra date) - and continues every weekend until Christmas!
We have also recently launched Johnossi Comics - a collaboration with Kim W Andersson who made all the artwork for "Mavericks" and his fellow cartoon artist colleague Fabian Göransson.
They have created cartoon stories inspired by our music. You can follow the first story "Mavericks" on our website www.johnossi.com. There is also a competition where you can be drawn
into the comic book - and if you live in Sweden you may get your face drawn cartoon style published on Spotify as we are running a cartoon campaign with them. More news on our website.
Proper Johnossi Comics magazine will be available later this fall.
See you soon.
/ Johnossi
Hey folks - today sees the launch of Johnossi Comics - a collaboration with cartoon artist Kim W Andersson who made the artwork for Mavericks. Kim and fellow cartoon artist Fabian Göransson have been hard at work putting together stories inspired by music from "Mavericks" and an actual cartoon magazine will be out in November. If you live in Sweden and use Spotify, starting today you can follow the first cartoon called "Mavericks" , a story about professional surfer Ana Rosario who takes part in the dangerous surfer competition at Mavericks Point outside of San Francisco. Every few days a new episode will come out. The good news is you'll be able to follow the story here on johnossi.com as well! There is also a competition where you can be drawn into the actual cartoon - (competition is now over).
To pre-order Johnossi Comics, follow this link >>>
We have also announced additional tour dates - so check out the updated tour section.
A message to all Swedes:
Efter en fantastisk festivalsommar är vi nu hemma några veckor för att samla krafter inför höstens intensiva turnerande. Det kommer bli en fullspäckad Johnossi-höst och vi har just kickat igång den genom att släppa den andra singeln från Mavericks albumet, Dead End.
Dead End har börjat spelas på radio och den testades idag på P3:s program TRACKS. What's the point har ju totalregerat Trackslistan sedan januari och nu är det er uppgift att se till att Dead End krossar allt!!
Med andra ord: RÖSTA SOM FAN PÅ DEAD END!!
Det är som vanligt enkelt och går fort! Ni röstar här:
http://sverigesradio.se/cgi-bin/p3/tracks/index.asp?taskid=1
Röstningen pågår varje lördag med start kl14.00 och slutar på måndag kl14.00
Total Kärlek.
/ Johnossi
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
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.
/Johnossi
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
my favourite band since the last 5 years or so is arcade fire, and that i cant stop listen to their 2 new songs, month of may and the suburbs, from their forthcoming 3rd record.
Love
/John

Hey everybody!
Here's a little video from decibel studios, where we recorded our new album Mavericks.
Johnossi are confirmed for Melt festival in Germany, 18 July.
Checkout TOUR for more info.
Right now we are getting all the artwork for the album
done and so far its looking fantastic. We don't want to give away too
much, all we can say is that its going to be a piece of art on its
own...
Meanwhile, we hope to see you when we play (hopefully) in a town near you soon
please check the tour section for the latest updates.

Our brand new third album is finally done. We have named it Mavericks.
This time the process of creating this album was really challenging, not because we had a rough time writing songs, but because we felt that we had to dig deep within ourselves in order to find a place where these melodies could grow into songs.
Most of the songs were written during a pretty confusing time last fall 2009. Throughout Sep-Oct we basically lived in our rehearsal studio .We played our instruments until our fingers bleed, constantly struggling to maintain a constant creative energy.
When the first snow hit Stockholm it was time to hit the studio. We felt that we wanted to be in total charge of the recording process, so we decided to produce the record ourselves, which we ended up doing - together with the incredibly talented Lasse Mårten.
Lasse Mårten owns the now legendary Decibel Studios in Stockholm. We'd heard such great things about this guy and his studio. After our first meeting we immediately decided to record the whole album there, with him as a co-producer and engineer.
Said and done, we moved our shit to Decibel and started working. Just the three of us. It was a period of extremely high creative energy. It was fantastic. After two months Mavericks was done.
A maverick is a person who is not afraid to go against the stream, who has the courage to break free from his or her ideas about how things should be, to face the fear and challenge it.
Mavericks is a legendary surf location in Northern California. Here, the water is cold and dark, and giant waves crush against giant rocks. A mavericks is a person who surfs his own wave. Everybody wants to be a maverick, or at least we do.
On April 30th Mavericks will be released in Scandinavia , Germany, Austria and Switzerland for your listening pleasure.
In May we'll finally start touring again, click on the venue to buy tickets:

It’s called "What's the point" and is out now on iTunes in Scandinavia, Spotify and physical retailers (in Sweden).
We performed the song live at the P3 Guld Awards in Gothenburg Tuesday evening – check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gn8j4rrr9vA Things are going really well in the studio, the album is starting to take shape and we can honestly say that we’ve never felt this excited about new songs before. Making an album is a different journey every time and this one has been the toughest by far, but in the end probably also the best. The album is being produced by ourselves and Lasse Mårten. Everything is being done at the Decibel studios in Stockholm and we should be set to release the album at the end of April.
We are doing a Scandinavian headline tour in May:
12 Maj Oslo, John Dee

In 2005, Johnossi played at the small stage at the Popaganda Festival in Stockholm/Sweden, this was one of their first festivals ever.
We are happy to announce that on the 28 Aug, Johnossi will return to Popaganda.
Check Tour for more info.
See you there!
The world has lost one of its greatest talents. Michael was beyond everything.
I have a feeling that he just couldnt stand the pressure anymore.
He could have been so much more, he could have done so much more.
Its scary to see how the world takes care of our greatest prodigy. Praise him, raise him to the stars, accuse him, blame him, throw rocks at him for 15 years until he can't take it anymore. I guess now the same journalists who called him wacko jacko for 15 years, will call him a saint.
All you haters and christian fundamentalists out there who's been giving Michael hate for 15 years, are you still waiting for the new messiah??
He might just have been the one, but you blew it!
One thing is for shure, if this world will ever see another great talent like Michael, you will all be dead anyway, so i just hope that your grandgrand children will bring love instead of hate into this world.
I love you Michael.

But, this time i actually enjoyed it a bit, mostly because i finally (9th try) managed to get my driving license!
Thank you for all the kind words on the guestbook, and a special thanks to Steffi & Jassy at Johnossi support

I just found out that a swedish online recordshop is holding a few copys of Johnossis very first release.
In oct 2004, Johnossi released Execution Song as a single on very small, no longer existing record label "Rekord Musik".
This edition was only released in 200 copys and i think at least a hundred of them were sold personally by me and Ossi when we supported the Soundtrack of our lives in Sweden at that time.
So, it's a very rare piece of Johnossihistory...
Here's a picture of the cover (sorry for the bad picturequality)
You can buy it here for only 49 swedish kr, i think they ship worldwide.

A lot of you guys is wondering about what festivals we will do this summer. Very soon we will post all dates for the summer, so stay tuned!
We just played our first show in Japan (Osaka) and it went swell!
We are a bit dizzy from the time change, but we feel as that nothing can stop us!. Everybody is taking good care of us and in 15 minutes we´re having dinner with the hives-guys at a classic japanese steakehouse. We´ll keep you posted!
Sayonara!! /Ossi
Tomorrow we are off to Örebro (a city in the middle of Sweden) for a show, we have'nt played for a couple of weeks, so we're extra exited!
We noticed that a lot of you ask about why we don't have john/ossi speaks anymore. The reason for this is simply that we didn't like it, instead we're gonna focus on keeping you updated with whats going on in Johnossiworld, here in the news section.
Now, we also have the ability to answer questions from you in the guestbook, we can't answer all questions, but hopefully most of them!
We spend a lot of time in our rehersalspace now, drinking beer, smoking cigarettes, eating food, and of course, writing new songs! It's going pretty well i must say! Hopefully we will start to record later on this year!
Here's some of my favourite things right now
My favourite band at the moment is Satyricon, i'm really looking forward to see them live in Stockholm in April!
My favourite song and musicvideo of 2009 so far is this one
My favourite person on the internet at the moment is this guy
My favourite kind of food right now is served at this restaurant, to bad it's not located in stockholm
My favourite guitar pedal right now that i don't have but perhaps will soon is this one
That's it for now, new Johnossi photos and films are coming soon!
Take care!

Earlier this morning, Johnossi and the swedish pop sensation Markus Krunegård, performed a christmas song together at swedish national radio P3.
The song is written by Johnossi and Markus Krunegård, and it's called "Jul e kul". We all sing in swedish for once.
If you missed it this morning, or if you don't live in Sweden, you can listen to it here:
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!
