JOHNNIE & THE FOODMASTERS APRIL 2023 NORTHEAST TOUR!
AMERICA’S MOST CHAOTIC MALT SHOP MEMORIES SEXTET HIT THE ROAD
Johnnie and the Foodmasters have announced their first tour of the Northeast!
Johnnie & The Foodmasters is Boston’s wildest oldies cover band. Formed as a trio in 2015 at the infamous Allston Speed Trials outdoor festival, the Foodmasters quickly evolved into their current six piece lineup known locally for their improbable yin and yang of pop perfection and shambolic noise. The Foodmasters put their spin on Stax, Sun, and Motown classics alongside frenzied ’60s garage rock. The result is immaculately messy, but plain old fun. The Foodmasters always strive to create a one of a kind experience and are beyond excited to charm the Northeast whilst on tour in April!

ADULT LEARNERS – very new band ft. Kathy Snax on vox/keyboard, Simon on drums (& amazing designer of this flyer), and bassist Joe (of the legendary Tampoffs). Short & sweet garage pop nuggets!
NICE GUYS – our buds – we released their first 7″ and have seen them play 109 times. the nice boys might be at the peak of their noisy rock n roll powers if their 10 yr anniversary show was any indication. new album on the way????
JOHNNIE & THE FOODMASTERS – KLYAM house band – if you can make it ’til the end of the debauchery and irreverent tributes to the ’50s and ’60s…you’ll get receipt. rumors of a totally new set???

FREE OUTDOOR SHOW ($5 to $15 SUGGESTED CASH/VENMO)

PICNICLUNCH – New Bedford trio celebrating 13 years as a band! SUPAP favorites – we love the scratchy modern no wave/minimalist guitar of MR working under a backdrop of funky/danceable bass and drums via DB and MW.
LUPO CITTA – Stealing this from the legendary Dave Brushback:: “Scuzzy late-’80s-Manhattan style downer-rock w/Chris Brokaw on guitar. I think their name is pronounced ‘lupah-cheetah’, which is wicked cool”
BRIDGE OF FLOWERS – Western Mass weird / outsider / psychdelia / rock n roll outfit – rugged and catchy. Both.
JOHNNIE & THE FOODMASTERS – Honorary KLYAM band busting out brand new oldies – like taking the Honda for a new spin in unchartered territory.
KLYAM SHOW AT CHARLIE’S KITCHEN MONDAY 6/27!
Allow us to bring our Summer festivities indoors for an enviable show at the unrivaled Charlie’s Kitchen in Harvard Square where Mondays never have to suck.
The date is June 27th (yeah, next Monday night) and we’ve got one for you: two wild oldies cover bands and the wildest punk band in New England. Read on.
The debut of Pledge Pins – slop frat rockers cutting all the slack of garage classics. One to two minute blasts and on to the next.
Johnnie and the Foodmasters are cut from a similar cloth as PP; while the Pins are minimal, the 6 piece Elvis worshippers may be a described as a little bit much!
And what about RONG? Oh just the best punk band in Boston. Will give you the jitters like all the Boston underground noize greats and provoke inexplicable dancing and grooving.
Come through at 9 PM for $5. 21+
KLYAM’s Rama Lama Ding Dong Returns – Sat Nov 13 @ O’Briens
Our annual Rama Lama Ding Dong festival is less than two weeks away – mark your calendars for Saturday, November 13 at O’Briens Pub in Allston.
The 2021 edition is a spectrum of pop and punk but surely not pop punk.
We’ve got RLDD 2019 favorites/late ’70s punk legends Unnatural Axe back again. Mr. B called them “the most important punk band Boston will ever call its own”.
Silver Synthetic are on tour from New Orleans! We saw them outdoors at Gonerfest so surely it will be wild to see the Third Man Records supergroup bring their warm & breezy sound to the cozy pub atmosphere of O’Briens.
The Swettes played our Holiday Party in December 2019 and surely won the hearts of the Dorchester Art Project faithful with their minimalist, adventurous, and immediate brand of rock ‘n roll. They met at Girls Rock Camp just a few years ago.
We’re excited to at long last do a show with Kathy Snax! Kathy just released a 7″ (Changeling b/w On A Winter Day) on Relief Map Records. The eerie/haunting vibe is real, but it’s the catchiness/pop of Kathy’s music that makes it feel not of this time/of this place.
Johnnie and the Foodmasters have played all of the RLDD and the streak continues. Musicality meets chaos in the context of the golden oldies.
This will sell out! Get your tickets ahead of time:
