It’s Coming! It’s Coming!

You! Have a great Sunny Sunday! The Don Johnson Big Love Crew (DJBLC) are working on the album day & night now, and it’s a beautiful thing!

Johannes and Kari are working on their studio tans in the Legendary Dick Tank. Meanwhile, our own Secret Agent Mr. Lindgren is cunningly and candidly sampling a host of great vocalists backstage @ Pori Jazz Festival with his customized mobile studio kit. They don’t even notice. Whoop whoop! (Pictured: Heini & Aili Ikonen of The Northern Governors doing their thang.)

It’s now just a matter of days before we release a whole heap of information on the new album. STAY TUNED!

So we asked the amazing Petteri Sariola to grab his mom’s upright bass, got the incredible Tuomo Prättälä to hop on a train from Pori after a late night show, and dragged the young rhyming master Noah Kin out of bed on a lazy Sunday afternoon – and did this.

Rip It Up feat. Noah Kin, Tuomo & Petteri Sariola ORGANIX STYLE. On the Helsinki Metro! (Where else would Father Metro & his posse go?) We think it came out great. And no, music isn’t allowed to be played on the trains, and yes, we were notified about causing a disturbance. So sorry, we won’t do it again! Check out the end result right here:

RIP RIP RIP RIPPITUUUP!

A New Song! (Kinda.)

Alright, it’s not exactly a new song, in fact it’s all of six years old, but still new in the sense that most of you will not have heard it before. Rain No. 968 was released back in 2007 as a bonus track on the Limited Japanese Edition of the self-titled album Don Johnson Big Read More

DJBB tekee historiaa Nosturissa!

17/01/13

Vuosi 2013 jysähti mahtavasti käyntiin Groningenissa, ja pian panokset kovenevat entisestään. Pääsiäisenä Don Johnson Big Band tekee historiaa Helsingin Nosturissa: lauantaina 30. maaliskuuta Suomessa ensimmäistä kertaa koskaan järjestettävä livebändin “Silent gig” on nimensä mukaisesti äänetön keikka. Yleisölle jaetaan sisään tullessa langattomat Sennheiserin kuulokkeet, joiden kautta koko keikan ääni välitetään. PA:sta ei siis tule ääntäkään. Mahtava Read More
