Power Trio The band kicked off 2009 with two shows at the snowed in Toby's Pub Friday and Saturday night, with a first...the first time the band played as a trio. Stefano was taken ill so the band went with a scaled back lineup to much acclaim. Band Security Manager Scott Patterson, who had formally filed a grievance against the band in December 2008, was a no show when the case was called on both nights. As a result, the grievance was dismissed. It was learned later that Patterson was stuck in Whistler due to a road closure, so he will have to re-file the grievance against Johnny & the Wallkers. Due to his absence, patrons were unable to "Get Scottie" as originally planned. Get Scottie night will be rescheduled to a later date.

||||||
|
Kicking off 2009 ...this weekend the band opens 2009 at Toby's Pub on Commercial on both Friday and Saturday, January 2nd and 3rd. A floating rumor is that the band may play as a trio on one of the nights with a few new tunes installed. This is also "Get Scotty Night" Coome on down and get Scotty, or band Security Manager, who has recently filed a grievance against Johnny & th Wallkers. The first set will be entirely composed of legal negotiations between both sides.

Mystic Pizza Night at Toby's A truly "mystical" evening on Friday at Toby's Pub for Mystic Pizza Night. A few patrons not only came in Mystic Pizza costumes, but some even broke down in tears to replay some of their favourite scenes. Surprisingly, custom pizza orders were almost non-existant, except for one dine and dasher who took off without paying for his "Hollywood Ending Pazza."

Lynnwood Pub, Two Thumbs Up! We'd have to agree that the Lynnwood was one of the best places we've played as a band. Outstanding venue, stage, sound system and dance floor with lots of people and a festive atmosphere. If you missed the two shows this past weekend, you really missed a great time and the band really rocked it hard, even bringing in some new hard rock songs to bolster the ammunition. Special guest John Taggart was missing at the first set and growing concern led to an all points bulletin for the Lorne Greene impersonator who was to perform in break one Friday night. After an exhaustive search, he was found early Saturday evening bound and gagged in a van behind a nearby gas station, dressed in a Battlestar Galactica outfit, leading to thoughts that he was waylaid on the way to his performance Friday night. The exhausted and shaken Taggart commented that his days of imperonating Greene are numbered as this is not the first attack he has suffered during these performances. In 2006, while performing at the Wheelhouse Pub, he was dragged from his car in the underground parkade, tied up, blindfolded and gagged for six hours while kidnappers searched for Battlestar Galactica memorabilia in his vehicle. The band hopes to return to the Lynnwood in the new year. Special thanks to bar manager Jessie and head waitress Georgina. Photos to come soon.

Overcoming Technical Difficulties The band overcame some initial technical problems with the sound system and the show went on as planned on this rainy Vancouver night. Despite lost voices, numb hands and flaky microphones it all worked out in an evening full of challenges. Fun for everyone and when someone tells you it's "Money for nothing, chicks for free," advise them otherwise. Thanks to everyone who came out!

North
Shore Winter Club Next Stop Following up on last summer's engagement at the North Shore Winter Club, the band prepares to play the patio party again Saturday, August 9. Last year was a soggy affair so the band hopes and prays for sun this time around. The public is welcome to this show after 8pm Recurring Special Guest will be Tony White, who was the special guest at the same NSWC event last year when he had a miserable time and was thrown into the swimming pool in the pouring rain, laughed at, scolded, kicked, spat on and generally mistreated and disrespected. He'll be beaten and thrown into the pool again, but who (bleeping) cares... no one wants him at the (bleeping) club anyway. White played two seasons with the Washington Capitals from 1974 to 1976 before being sent to the minors as a complete flop. He subsequently opened a karate school. |

Thumbs
Up at Toby's Thanks to Toby's Pub on Commercial Drive who hosted the band for the first time last night. It was a remarkable evening that grew in energy throughout the night, with many band faithful expressing a warm thumbs up about the new venue. The band hopes to secure a return to Toby's in the near future and encourages those who missed this show to get out for a great time next time. |
||||||

Something

Queen's Cross Again Due to the cancellation of the Malone's June 7th show, the band is delighted to announce it has been booked at the Queen's Cross on Saturday, June 7/08. This is the second visit to the popular Lonsdale pub, the first was a raging success back in February. The
band asks for your support for this upcoming gig as it goes in a
new direction post-Malone's, and a big patron draw is very important.
|
||||||
|
Thanks
for the Memories Regretfully Malone's has decided to go in a different direction with respect to live music at this time, and the upcoming shows on June 7th and August 23rd have been cancelled. Thanks
to all of you that joined us there over the past two years for some
very memorable evenings. Lots of great events, new songs, and wierd
happenings, such as Superman Bachelor night, Halloween, birthday
parties for Stefano and John, Dr. Ian Gunn Night, Weekend at Bernie's
Night, Hawaii 5-O CB Radio Night, Kotter Redux Night, Craps games
in the back alley, economics presentations during set breaks, UFC
fight nights with the roid crew, and Robert Shaw Impersonator Fight

Malone's
Show Review One
of the best shows in the history of the band was presented Saturday
night at Malone's to celebrate band lead guitarist John Samulski's
birthday. A memorable evening to say the least, and the band
was in fine "full throttle" rock form. A special thanks
to longtime friend of Johnny's, Terry MacNeill from Edmonton,
who joined the band onstage for a few numbers including a scorching
rendition of American Idiot. Videos from the night - click here The

You Say It's Your Birthday In
additon Toni Moon who played Girl #2 in Smokey
and the Bandit 3 will also be a special guest. Not much
is known about Toni Moon, except that she was a fine girl in and
around that movie. As usual the film was a complete flop! It was
just terrible. Toni will discuss just "what went wrong"
in the making of Smokey and the Bandit 3 during the first set break
of the night. |

Deadly
Weekend at Bernie's The band has subsequently learned that the person dumped in Steveston was actually not attempting to play the role of a dead Bernie, but was rather just extremely drunk and dragged into the club and abandoned by friends. The 69-year old was unfortunately unconcious and cold for nearly two hours before a group of thugs found him near the dyke and tied him to a partially submerged log boom. The "dead Bernie" awoke when he inadvertantly rolled his log and ended up partially in the icy waters of the Fraser River screaming for help and choking on muddy salt water for several hours. A tugboat operator heard the cries for help and rescued the trapped Bernie at about 5am Sunday morning. He was "badly shaken," and suffering from extreme hypothermia, exhaustion, physical abuse and mental anguish. "It appears that someone tried to kill him in a slow and torturous way," commented RCMP officials. The tragic events did not carry the humor the band had been expecting with respect to the Weekend at Bernie's movies, and band patrons are warned not to get so drunk that they could be mishandled in a similar and deadly manner as this. Furthermore, no dvds will be presented in such cases. |
||||||
|
Weekend
at Bernie's THIS Weekend Anyone showing up as a dead Bernie at the show will be treated as a special guest and receive a shooter and a special prize. So throw on a pair of sunglasses and let your friends drag you down to Malone's and proceed to get so smashed you pass out and play the part of Bernie Lomax while your friends prop you up on the dance floor and wave your arms for you. |

Let's
Go.... Special
guest will be Craig Jacobs who was on the lighting team
for the 1980s movie the Flamingo Kid II. That movie was a
complete flop of course, and so was Jacobs. In fact the film's failure
could be blamed on him. He was just terrible. Jacobs will host a
special gin rummy tournament at the back tables during the first
break. |
||||||
|
Happy
Trails The band completed it's private leg on the fall tour schedule Friday night for the Inglewood Pre-School Gala held at the Capilano Golf and Country Club. Thanks to all who attended this wonderful cause. The band now returns to public shows until the new year, starting December 1st at Malone's. |
||||||
|
Happy
Birthday Deano! The band played for a very special intimate group on Friday night for a surprise party for Dean and his family and friends at the RVYC. It was a special evening for the band too, as they rarely play such an intimate gig. |
||||||
|
A Return to Highlands It was a year ago that the band played Highlands as one of it's first shows in the formative band years. Last night the band returned and enjoyed another evening in one of it's favorite places, and even introduced a few brand new numbers. Thanks to Jackie and the organizers at Highlands. |

Scary
Stuff and a Zombie on Drums Truly a killer show last night at Malone's in downtoan Vancouver at the 2007 Halloween Pub Crawl, and costumed patrons jammed the place. DJ A-Sharp rocked the hall after the band until late. The show also marked the debut for the new costumed drummer, replacing the late Jim Wall (aka Ginger Spice) whom we all miss. The new drummer will be revealed soon. |

outstanding turnout last night at Malone's on a rainy Vancouver Charles Napier the III was a complete flop, as expected, and run out into the rain before the second set, and thrown into a puddle. |

at Malone's The
band is back at Malone's Saturday and ready to go. Napier the third could well be one of the worst guests the band has ever had, so come enjoy the fun and help run him out of the place. Bring your CB radios.

Ceili's
Shows Cancelled Regretfully,
both shows at Ceili's this weekend have been cancelled due
to a scheduling problem at Ceili's. Sorry for the inconvenience. |
||||||
|
Somebody
Told Me... Some new tunes highlighted another awesome show at Malone's last night, including a marathon two and a half hour set to finish at alomost 1:30am. The place was packed after the UFC Championship and the band took over and rocked the house down until their hands bled. If you missed this one, you missed out big time. The band returns to Malone's on Saturday, September 8th. |
||||||
|
Love, Exciting and New...? The band returns to Malone's this weekend, featuring a tribute to one of the cheesiest, but most successful shows in television history, the Love Boat. Said one fan in remembering the show, "If you were an obscure actor/actress in the late 1970's/early 1980's and your career was flopping, the Love Boat was the place for you to be and set sail, while on a quest for love.... or cheap sex...which was more likely. I must plead guilty in that I admit to enjoy watching these mostly over-the-hill entertainers ham it up, with the worst laugh track in the history of television." In
the spirit of this caliber of actor desperation, the band has invited
a very special guest to Malone's this weekend. |
||||||
|
Stormy Night on the North Shore The band was received by a good turnout at the North Shore Winter Club Annual Summer Smash Party Saturday night, albeit under somewhat trying circumstances due to unexpected wet weather which commenced during the first set, forcing an early intermission. During that time the band and club officials scrambled to cover sound and lighting equipment, dance floor, and shore up possible electrical hazards. The second set commenced, but the show was halted immediately after due to pools of water onstage and submerged electrical cabling in addition to other extreme dangers. The
band then adjourned to the patio bar while taped music Special Guest Tony White left in anger shortly after the first set after being thrown head over heels into the west swimming pool. The
band would especially like to recognize the guest from |

Special
Guest will be none other than Tony White, who played
two seasons with the Washington Capitals from 1974 to 1976

had always expressed an interest in touring the North Shore Winter
Club, but couldn't be bothered and instead opened a karate school
in his hometown of Kitchener, Ontario. |

Doctor
In the House! The
band returns to Malone's Saturday, July 28th, and it was one year
ago that it played Malone's for the first time in during a summer
heat wave. If meteorology repeats itself, at least there will be
a doctor in the house.

band returns to Malone's in downtown Vancouver on June 30th
for a long weekend party... and welcomes back another Kotter flop...
Stephen Shortridge who played the boring Beau De Labarre
on the original Welcome Back Kotter and Kotter Redux. Kotter Redux was once described by Ernie Shapereau as having the personality and flair of broken 2H pencil. The show lasted a miserable two and a half episodes ... making history as the only TV sitcom to be cancelled in progress, half way through an episode, when ABC decided they had had enough midway through episode #3 and pulled the plug in favor of a ginsu knife commercial. We encourage you to come down and enjoy the show Saturday, June 30th! |

Bye
to Surrey... for Now The band wrapped up at Amber Jack's on Saturday night with a killer show to a good crowd after the WBC Welterweight Championship fight on PPV.

The band returns to Amber Jack's Taphouse & Bar in Surrey on Friday and Saturday, June 8th & 9th. Special Guest is none other than Kevin Tighe from the 1970's TV show Emergency! in which he played paramedic Roy Desoto. He also starred as Roy again on Emergency 1992!...which was a complete flop. A complete mess. Tighe will discuss the use of CB radios in the Rampart Medical Centre. Amber Jack's possesses
a number of strong amanities including drink specials, a large
dance floor, no cover charge and free parking, plent of sports TV
screens, pool tables, comfortable seating and booths, a great menu,
and a large stage for a great show.

Trip to Tri-Cities Confirmed After many promises over the past year, the band has finally secured a weekend in July for it's first ever trip to the Tri-Cities area. The band will play three consecutive nights at the Village Inn Pub in Burnaby/ Coquitlam from Thursday to Saturday, on July 12th, 13th and 14th. The band had received pressure from supporters in the area for a local appearance, especially since drummer Jim Wall resided in Port Moody for over six years until recently moving to Burnaby, and still maintains contact with many friends in the area. |

|
Band Regroups to Pull off Two Great Ceili's Shows Johnny & the Wallkers regrouped from some technical difficulties early in the first set Friday night, to deliver a strong performance, and again the next night at Ceili's this past weekend.

 Come
and Knock on Our Door at Ceili's!Johnny & the Wallkers keep it rolling this weekend at Ceili's in downtown Vancouver, on Friday and Saturday night. This is the second trip to Ceili's for the band, who had a great turnout and reception in March. Special guest this weekend on both nights will be none other than Paul Ainsley, who played the sympathetic bartender for Jack Tripper at the Regal Beagle on the TV sitcom Three's Company in the 1980's, and who was a complete flop on the New Three's Company in the 1990's. Paul will be discussing the use of CB radios in bar security. If you are bringing your CB radio down to the show with you, please come early. |

"Flopping on the air in Cinncinnati" The band kicked things off at Malone's Downtown earlier this month. Now they'll return to Malone's on Saturday, April 28th to rock you again. Special guest will be none other than Frank Bonner, who played Herb Tarlek on "WKRP in Cincinnati" in the late 70's, as well as "the New WKRP in Cincinnati" in the early 90's... which was a complete FLOP. **Bonner went downhill on a greased toboggan on fire after falling through that trap door of a show. Frank will discuss the city of Cincinnati, it's housing market slump and the upcoming Bengal's season. He will also be available to discuss the use of CB 2-way radios in police work. Interested groups or ham clubs are encouraged to again bring their own CB radios to the show. |

Pizza Night." The pub will be decorated to resemble the
famous Mystic Pizzaria from the 1988 blockbuster smash
hit movie Mystic Pizza, starring Julia Roberts.
The
band returns to the Lynnwood Pub Friday and Saturday night
after a year and a half absence, and welcomes a very special
guest Friday night.
The
band returns to Malone's on Saturday, January 19th. Special
guest will be Anthony Mannino who played the Superintendent
in the 1989 blockbuster smash movie Weekend at Bernie's.
Special
guest will be none other than Charles Napier the III who
played Lenny on the 1982 sitcom flop Lenny in the Box.
This was a terrible failure of a show.
Dick
Martin, who played Deputy Captain Cunningham alongside
Captain Stubing on countless episodes of the Love Boat
(on which he was a complete flop) will lead a vigerous
discussion about the use of CB radios in cruise ship romance.
Following
last week's crazy show at Malone's, the band heads back tot eh north
shore for the first time in several months to play at the annual
North Shore Winter Club Summer Slam tennis party on Saturday night.
Gunn
currently is a registered Neurosurgeon at Dallas Memorial Hospital,
Chairman of the Dallas Museum of Archeology, Consultant to
the Internal Revenue Service Consumer Tax Division, CMO of
Datawave, a leading Dallas software company, and Vice-President
of Exploration for BP Texas Oil & Gas Division.
A
special auction will be held for a "personally signed"
picture of Dr. Gunn after the second set. Regretfully, Gunn will
not be able to sign any autographs at the show as his time is very
limited to partying.
Welcome
Back Kotter Redux at Malone's
Special
guest is none other than Rob Harcum who played "the
boring" Murray on Welcome Back Kotter in the
1970's, as well as the "ill-advised" Kotter Redux
in the mid-1990's
Rampart!
Emergency at Amber Jack's Surrey!
