EP. 11 - LUKE "BOO" JOHNSTON (TOUR & PRODUCTION MANAGER / BACKLINE TECH)

LWICFD! ep.11 welcomes LUKE "BOO" JOHNSTON!!!

If you have ever been to see a gig that The Bronx, The Jezabels, The Chats, Frenzal Rhomb, Alex Lahey & many more too numerous to mention were playing, the chances are that Boo was the tour manager & / or guitar / drum / stage tech for that tour.

Right now he is currently on the road with Grinspoon as they zoom around Oz on their "Easy Detention Tour" 2023. (He's also doing a few shows with The Bronx in the middle of this run too!)

When he's not being a hard-core Road RAT (and I mean that in the nicest possible terms - Boo started a company called Road Agent Touring Services @roadagenttouringservices aka RATS 🐀) he also makes guitars (@good_vibes_guitars) & is a loving & devoted husband & father of 2 little dudes…(btw check out his marriage proposal story it's rad 🧡)

Boo is as humble as 🥧 😋 & definitely who they were talking about when it was decreed by some ancient rock legend that:

"It's the band that make it rock, but it's the crew that make it roll!"

🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼

Thanks as always to @shizafrigginhotsauce for the Friggin' hot sauce & sponsoring my show. You might need to go kiss a penguin tho afterwards to cool off your lips. 😜🐧

Anyway go check them out and put it on all of the foods. 🌶️

🍸💃🏻🪩🕺
