In "Johnossi" If it is an indie-alternative band that have achieved something rare has: it consists of only two members: John Engelbert, guitarist and singer, and Oskar "Ossi" Bonde, percussionists
. From the names of the two and the band name was born. John and Ossi play together as a band since 2004, and brought out in 2005 their debut album "Johnossi" in Sweden. In 2006 the album was finally released in the German speaking countries. It was followed by a tour as support act for "Mando Diao". Since they already met on tour in support of this enthusiasm and were traded in expert circles as the new band from Sweden fulfilled, for "Johnossi" In 2007, the dream of a site tour. 2008 was followed by her second album "All they ever wanted", which was represented as so far only album of "Johnossi" in the charts. This year published "Johnossi" her third album, "Mavericks," which differs from its predecessors with an even darker, rawer sound. According to Engelbert, this album was a very important step for him because he went through 2009, a very difficult phase of his life which he handled in the album musically. He joined together with Bonde in a Hotel room, and tried about 200 different melodies. They also produced the album for the first time most of themselves
In October this year there was the long-awaited tour from me to match the album release.

Perhaps we should wait concert reviews, to the initial euphoria has subsided a little, so you can see the concert objective. But there are concerts where you know that this approach would be entirely inappropriate. If there are already bands that occur with such a powerful energy, it is only appropriate to give something back to them.
In the case of the Swedish duo Johnossi "it was in the Substage in Karlsruhe, very impressive, because you must give the word Duo particular attention. The two rather inconspicuous band members lacked neither bass nor of other musicians who are in some other band the singers together. In harmonic easy: raw, loud rock songs, and swept from the stage directly into the audience. From die-hard fans who mitgrölten each song, until the brave girl who mitwippte early days in the protective arms of her friend who stayed after the first song anyone to stand still. The crowd went wild and "Johnossi" seemed in good spirits Rock. Although the new album "mavericks" on the record sounds more melancholy and depressed, it does live more roaring and aggressive. When the crowd could do for the addition or songs, probably was the last doubters convinced that it is worth, "Johnossi" to see them live.
is also well worth the spontaneous Carl Norén support act, singer of the band "Sugarplum Fairy", who meanwhile is traveling solo. With thoughtful, quiet folk songs he sang well, especially in the hearts of female fans, which was, without question, his loving nature and his chaotic appearance.
