biographical info

Doug, Mike, Chris and Barn - four guys, working in an office.

One Friday night while working late on a report - due Monday - for their most lucrative client, they heard sounds coming from outside. The muffled thumps and squeals were so distracting that they couldn't concentrate on their work.

They threw down their pencils in frustration and headed outside to investigate the source of the disruption. As they stumbled out into the night air the infectious rhythms drew them closer. Realizing that the noise was coming from the concert hall across the street, they crossed, entered, and were hit with their first taste of rock music.

[Inside the rock show]

"This is great!"

"We need to start a band."

"But what about the Johnson report?"

"We are The Johnson Report"

That was all it took; completely enamoured, they have now dedicated their lives to the pop-indie-rock lifestyle. They traded their stress balls for Les Pauls - if only they had remembered to take off their ties.
