Mark Johnson
Uranium Willy - Musician

Toronto, Ontario, Canada
URANIUM WILLY combines the raw energy of psych rock with the hypnotic power electronic rhythm, and churning dub influences. This band has summoned a new homunculus, driven by jajouka-inspired polyrhythms that are thousands of years old, and placing them in the context of hallucinogenic rock. Their sound could be described as Godspeed You Black Emperor! meets NEU! They procreate with Moroccan extraterrestrials. POWER POP IS RENDERED DESOLATE...

MARK JOHNSON - Former front man, singer -songwriter with STRAWMAN and experimental group ZANG TUMB TUMB, radical queer performing artist who likes to blow things up and slice himself with sharp objects, he is the rhythm section and front man, developing the material from writhing drum machines, percussion and pummeling bass lines, which are the driving force behind the songwriting. On URANIUM WILLY'S first offering (self titled, Uranium Willie) Mark Johnson is the writer and producer of all pieces. Arrangements are by Johnson in concert with Headon and Reynolds. Rough Magick, is URANIUM WILLY'S second CD offering comprising again, Mark Johnson as the writer and producer of all pieces. Arrangements are by Johnson in concert with Reynolds, Kearns and McKevy. Willy's later CD albums echo this creative thrust with guest musicians sitting in on various tracks.
