Inspired by the song "Road", the black inner tubes of truck tyres have been transformed by Secco into a set of uniquely stylish bags. We’re talking band merchandise approaching on high fashion here. All the products are hand made in Finland, available in limited numbers only, and 5% of all sales will go to the Finnish charity organization Pietarin Katulapset. So step inside our webshop and place your orders to our new shopmaster extraordinaire, Severi. This young man, also known as the kid brother of our percussionist Tero, introduces himself to all of you in the members section!]]> Thu, 03 Apr 2008 07:20:00 GMT http://www.donjohnsonbigband.com/en/news/c8055e2296605a5bed06d593a485798f Webmaster http://www.donjohnsonbigband.com/en/news/de0661ff70855bcd2cbb3c399283fc82
It has been another beautiful year with 40+ gigs from almost every corner of Finland to Germany, Japan, Russia, and back. And every single crowd and every show has left a mark in our collective memory. Summer Sonic Festival in Tokyo and Osaka was of course a particularly memorable experience, and we hope to see much more of our Japanese audience in 2008! This year has also brought along new long awaited Johnson products in the form of great recycled Globe Hope designs, and even more merchandise goodies are in store very soon -- so don't blink an eye!

Now that all the gingerbread cookies have been passed around, and the lights at Tavastia club have been switched off, it's time to rest up before the onset of a busy new year. "Evil" and "L.L.H." are but a few of the new songs that will soon find their recorded form in the studio, as serious work on the fourth LP finally commences. We will keep you all updated on its progress.

For now, happy holidays and see you all in 2008!

On behalf of Les Boys, as always,
