johnnie ninety-nine – git yer gun

Oliver — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 00:01:25 +0000

“Johnny 99 is a rock solid Bruce Springsteen song. Probably thanks to some poor soul inspired by the first verse, a johnny ninety-nine is also a ruthlessly efficient beverage essentially using wine as a bed for a shot of gin. The Johnnie Ninety-Nine Band take a similar approach to their instruments, believing that high-proof music should be combined, not diluted.” -from j99.ca

*note: the first line of the text shown at the end of this video should read “flash mob concert” not “flash mod.”

Musicians United Against Censorship playing a free concert at Robson and Granville protesting the new busking laws. These laws will make it illegal for musicians to play on Granville St. between 10 and 2am, or when many of these musicians make their living.

Mark (a.k.a. Un-1) put the whole shindig together and it was a riot (the good peaceful kind :). Check out their facebook group for more info =>

Props to Geords and Hali for rocking the chinese chicken (Geords claims he wasn’t rockin’ the chinese chicken.. he was).

Not mentioned in the title: David on drums, Chad on Trumpet.

truth wrote a book but it never got published

beauty is a stripper guess she wasn’t that polished

sex is still a town, she’s putting me down

liven in the city ain’t what it used to be.
