Johnny Noir · Post by **Johnny Noir** » Tue Jul 22, 2014 7:16 am

i'm starting a new project, you can hear the first track here: http://soundcloud.com/that-green
it's some sweet lofi homemade tunes.
I'm doing lofi songs since the 90's when i was a teenager; i've changed names several times depending of my musical orientations...

I really like that. Great sound.

Congrats, and not least of all because you managed to make the audio look like a penis on Seven.

I like it too... sort of dreamy with an alt rock edge. Very 90s.

Your wife's vocals on the chorus of From Kind to Blind are great... definitely remind me of Sonic Youth or the Muffs. I also love your big guitar riff at the end.

from kind to blind reminded me a lot of Neon Tom.

thanks!
yep i started guitars and bands in the 90's. Even if i play garage rock or 60's stuffs, people says that it sounds sonic youth, that's weird.

Robroe is putting together a compilation of Shortscale artists. You should definitely submit one of your songs. PM him or check the sticky in the Pub.

Some good stuff there Johnny (as usual).

What happened to Surfer Rosa? The Bandcamp page seems to have disappeared.

Johnny Noir · Post by **Johnny Noir** » Fri Feb 06, 2015 7:04 am

thanks guys

the surfer rosa bandcamp is still here: http://surferrosa1.bandcamp.com/
but SR will die soon. We are fed up of the beat box and catchy songs.
Mara is the new project of Surfer Rosa, with a very talentuate drummer (but he's not yet on the recordings).
