Bio

The band Johnny Fist (named after the singer, who was named after the mountains he was discovered in) was formed during the 90's in the Fistovian Mountains in the mythical land of Jaggerstan.

They are an unlikely union of lost souls that came together purely by chance under what would seem to be the guidance of some sort of unnatural force. Knowing that their style of music would never be accepted in their homeland, they set sail for the distant shores of an unknown southern land that they had learnt of through an old local shaman. He told them that according to the stars and planets, this faraway land would be the origin of the next Rock n Roll revolution and that it would emerge from an ancient swamp near a mighty river.

Johnny Fist knew they were destined to be part of this new revolution when the old shaman told them that this new music would have caveman-like qualities, which was exactly the style they had, due to their music having been born in the caves of the Fistovian mountain range of Jaggerstan.

That is how Johnny Fist came to be based in Hamilton, New Zealand.
