JOHNNY MAFIA: Post-Garage-Punk Racket Announce Canadian Tour Dates - FME Festival Appearance

The garage-punk band Johnny Mafia hails from Sens, France–a part of the world more known for their wheat and cereal production than in-your-face rock & roll. On November 9th the group will release their sophomore LP Princes de l’Amour via the London-based label Dirty Water Records. Next month the band will embark on their first ever North American jaunt, making an appearance at the prestigious FME Festival in Quebec.

31/08 FME en Abitibi-Témiscamingue in rouyn-noranda 🇨🇦

02/09 Bar Le Magog in Sherbrooke 🇨🇦

03/09 TBA 🇨🇦 (booking)

04/09 Café Deckuf OTTAWA 🇨🇦

05/09 TBA 🇨🇦 (booking)

06/09 Quai des Brumes in Montreal 🇨🇦

The group have long been high rollers in the burgeoning post-garage punk rackets gripping the country of France over the last few years; high-energy explosive acts like The Scaners, Escobar, Les Grys Grys, Les Lullies and The Psychotic Monks have been burning up stages across Europe and USA with a vengeance, adding their craft to the long list of finer French exports suited to the more cultivated of music connoisseur.

Mixing guitar-driven garage hooks with a high-octane grunge of low-end, Johnny Mafia are a riotous collage of punk-laced influences. Last month the band delivered “Big Brawl,” the first listen in on the upcoming, Jim Diamond produced record. With their signature reverb-soaked slap-back fuzzed out sonic attack, Johnny Mafia embodies the attitude and spirit of punk’s past and present, with a firm foothold into their future as a young band ready to conquer the wider world of rock n roll.
