Johnny Hobo and The Freight Trains
|
Johnny Hobo and The Freight Trains is a band from southern Vermont. They were part of Spare Change Records, and consist of Pat the Bunny on guitar and vocals, Jeff-Face on harmonica and vocals, Flash-C on trumpet, Ian Skumfuk on washtub bass and vocals, Roman on bicycle and vocals, and Rockstar Mike on washboard, bass drum, and vocals.
Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains played catchy songs with clever, smart lyrics that attempt to synthesize their anarchist leanings with their hopeless outlook on the world. Alcohol and drug use are common themes within their music, and they are 100% acoustic. Most of their songs are about drugs and drinking. They have since broken up. They played their last show in Hartford, Connecticut, January 2007, but you can still purchase a CD of theirs from Spare Change Records for five dollars. Pat the Bunny now leads the band Wingnut Dishwashers Union. Apparently, they do not write songs about doing drugs or drinking.
