Johnny & the Phux

Johnny 7 the Phux
Fon Du Lac/Oshkosh WI - '02?-'06?

Here was an interesting band from small town Wisconsin. They played a few shows at my house in Milwaukee in the first few years. They were from the little cities of Fon Du Lac and/or Oshkosh, or the general area, fronted by a weird cool greaser guy but with a total casualties type streepunk sound and the band not being overly fashionable or giving 2 shits about image in general, and mixing it up with weird original songs thrown in the mix like "I wanna See You Naked". A lot of time people didn't know what to make of them, which is why i liked them, and they were down to earth. That and Johnny always had this little vintage suitcase thing with good whiskey and some vintage shot glasses and cocktail mixing kit type deal inside of it, that he'd share with me, that definitely didn't hurt. They were around in a sort of no-man's land time period, or at least it seemed so around here, for the general style of punk they played.

"Welcome to America" from their self released CD ep


"I Wanna See You Naked" live
