The Johnnys "Live In Lyon" CD Launch at St Kilda Bowls Club

It’s been a long time coming but it will be worth the wait: The Johnnys are re-emerging from a round of studio tinkerin’ and drinkin’ for a run of gigs in May, brandishing a live CD and a refreshed set.

“Live In Lyon” is the album, and it captures a rollicking 1990 French gig by the Hoody, Billy, Slim and Spencer P Jones line-up on their only European tour.

Restored from the original tape by Rick O’Neill, it’s brimming with plenty of Saucisson, Vin Rouge and bawdy cowpunk rock and roll.

To mark the occasion, The Johnnys are playing two Melbourne gigs at St Kilda Bowls Club with Murray's Bay Country Club and Traumaboys (Friday, May 30) and The Tote in Collingwood with Penny Ikinger’s Marbles and The Vibrajets (Saturday, May 31).

Tickets go on sale on Monday through oztix.com.au Special price for Members and Early Birds so don;t delay!
