Johnnie Mac
Добавлен 7 июн 2008
Some venues where i play ask me to describe my music for promo purposes, my manager scratches her head and say's well its a bit, aahh lets say Bent!. So this channel is for those into Bent Music! It is an outlet for my original songs, but also includes covers and songs by other artists i know and love, those deserving more promo. The Bent genera includes a whole host of bands that have been largely ignored and you can find out more about those artists as i build this channel which also includes a lot of Busking clips and tips as i've done a fair bit of street music over the years. " Bent Music" is a little bit left of centre, (some may say a long way left of centre). The aim is not to be polished but raw, real, unconventional, largely under-produced, simple and basic in its approach with story telling as a key component, whether true or fictional! It's influences include Punk, but it draws just as much from styles of folk, acoustic and in my case Indigenous Australian music.
Bee bah bee bah bee boe cover of The Chills cute classic
I use to play this song for my kids all the time to get them to sleep! Such a beautiful, simple song from the Chills talented singer, songwriter and poet ! He is sorely missed as is the band who were for me NZs finest!!

Live gig, acoustic version of a song written about the battles a musician faces to be heard! Yes it’s a little bit tragic but like most of my stuff it’s tounge in cheek tragic!! Any musician whose regularly played the 3 x 45 minute sets in bars and other venues on the touring circuit will know exactly what I’m singing about here 😂😵💫🍺🤯

Earthy bent blues in open tuning for easy listening pleasure!! Recorded on my very old yet faithful and worldly guitar, in the bathroom of course, where all real music is played and recorded to give it that raw rusty quality that smick recording technology wipes out!!

This is a great song written by Joan Colomo who is a Catalan singer and songwriter who i was fortunate to come across when i was living in Barcelona 2 years back. I cant play like he does and my Catalan pronunciation is really shit, but i love what he does as an artist and more people should know about him. I often use to play this busking in Barca and locals would really appreciate the effort ...
The Colours of her mind - Acoustic - Taken from " It sounded good in the bedroom Sessions " !

This is a very recent acoustic version of a track off my CD, The world seems happy. I love this song because of the influences that inspired it, even though it is a very simple, lovey duvey, kinda number. I was actually tired of writing songs that were pissed off with human greed and resource mis-management(ie environmental f ups) and wanted something more benign! Some of my friends thought it ...

Another one from my “ Well....it sounded good in the bedroom”....sessions!!!! I dont think i can really explain this one that easy but sex and drugs and rock n roll is a good start with a good dose of prostitution thrown in? Of course this song contains a warning, this song will definitely offend those who choose to be offended!!!Again this is a true story from when i was living in a squat in A...

This is the title track taken from Johnnie Mac's album of the same name with the full rocking band. A great piece of Australian independent foot- stompin rock n roll that'll put a swagger in your day. This song was inspired by 3 classic underground rock songs, The Hoodu Gurus- Leilani, The Chills-Leather Jacket and of course Iggy Pop's The Passenger-The spirit of great rock n roll!!!
Nighthawks(Irish TV)-The World Seems Happy- Acoustic

This is my first live prime time TV Interview with 2 times euro-vision winner Shay Healy, taken from RTE TV in Ireland in early 1991. I had a shit guitar pick-up and i was very, very nervous but it was great publicity. This clip has gone from TV, to VHS, sat in a shed for years, gone mouldy, put on a CD, then converted from that so excuse the fuzz!!! I kinda like it as it adds to my feral hair-...

This is a live & very different version of Aussie Hip Hop band the Hilltop Hoods, Nose Bleed section.....SORRY starts way to slow but...well, hey, you get that ....especially playing live when you surprise the band with a song they havent played before. Big THANKS/MUCHO GRACIUS to Dani Perez with some great lead guitar & the Vlads from Ruta de la Seda(Kazakhstan)thumping away on drums & bass. A...

This ones for Kiddies!!! A Johnnie and Rui Mac version of this Children's Nursery Rhyme that Rui use to request about 10 times each night before he finally went to sleep, much to his big brother Banjo's annoyance (and sometimes his older sister Chanel who was listening in)!
The World Seems Happy (2010 excerts)
Просмотров 267 лет назад
These excerts were taken from 3 tracks off Johnnie Mac's best selling album The World Seems Happy for promo purposes. The track titles are listed at the start of each song, the video compilations are not of professional quality by any stretch of the imagination.
Demo track excerts only

Here are 4 excerts of demos and unrehearsed live songs that are being used to assist with the song arrangement and recording of Johnnie's new album. They are by no-means pro recordings or performances or even the best of, merely a guide for musicians and funding bodies. Please note 3rd track "Baikal " is a musical arrangement using Jonathon Richman's spoken word poem "Dont let out youth go to w...

This is another Demo track, the song opens with an excerpt from Daft Punk you will understand its relevance as the song goes on. Basically i try to meditate a lot sometimes it just goes horribly wrong and you just end up angry.....this is all part of the journey apparently.....Ommm!! After spending time observing your mind in the quiet you realise how powerful meditation can be but also how mes...

Mt.warning is.not Woolumbin ...fact..
Sounds terrific! Glad i found this
Cheers mate appreciate the feedback
So that huge crater that is shown in the structure of the mountains - that whole inner area (where the Forests are) that is a volcano?! Dormant and dead of course, but was that the size of the opening where lava spewed out?
There were no dinosaurs roaming the earth 23 million years ago, thickhead.
Still feeling it!!

Johnnie Mac is a mongrel and there is no denying it. A mongrel in a nice way.
Oh so sorry for the blunder on this video, it was actually recorded at Albert Music Studios in Sydney which has produced some amazing music over the years and this is more of it.
Wollumbin was stolen as the heritage and name of my families mountain and applied as a fake aboriginal name to Mt Warning.
Citation?

Bummer we missed most of the song in the recording, but... if you wanna hear some more of these fellas playing together you can listen to "Fuck Fashion" on my channel here which features some pretty hot guitar work by Garth who is playing bass on this song with Killer Karl Johnson on drums....great gig in Woolgoolga that night.
Deanna,saw,listened and met Frank at Womad in 2010, makes me cry for his and my culture,the same as Archie Roach and the late Ruby Hunter.
Hey Mo, send us a g'day email. Lost yur email when me pc crashed. Deanie
Just seen Frank Yamma at Mullumbimby Music Festival - felt like he reached inside my chest and squeezed my heart. Such a humble, talented musician - tells a story through his music that goes beyond words. Thank you for including our little town in your travels.
Beautifully portrayed, message which needs an audience!! Love it!
BIUTIFUL !
absolutely beautiful, respect....
Sorry folks about the negative comments that have slipped through. I had assumed that all comments would come via me 4 approval as they do on my own music sites. Unfortunately there is more than 1 in every crowd as it turns out. i will have a word with youtube about blocking comments that contribute nothing of value to the site or the relationship between indigenous & other cultures in this country. I apologise for those offended &will sort it out asap. ps saw Frank at the Excelsior, brilliant!
I heard this song on community radio in Ngaanyatjarra Lands the other day it blew me away... big respect... But can someone delete the racist comments from this site? It makes me sick. People who hide behind user names to provoke and spread prejudice are weak as piss.
Those people are drunk outta their minds :D
Frank had the cover of Rhythms magazine in November. Looks like things are actually happening for him.
I always liked his song "Ngura Watjilpa", a gentle, lovely song :))
Good stuff man.
Still beautiful.
Beautiful.
