  Oct 8, 2005 Southern Ontario Tour (Left image) With 13 Shows in 6 days, Junkyard Jonny and Junkyard Jen rocked Southern Ontario with shows beginning at The Markham Fair, moving on to schools shows in Pefferlaw, Kitchener, and St. Agatha, then finishing of the tour with an awesome night of the Planet Junk Show in London at a cool bar called the Barking Frog.Aug 6, 2005 Super in the Soo (Right image) While the drive is about nine hours, through construction and car accidents, the trip to Sault St. Marie is well worth it, especially if you are going there to see the Busker Festival. Using the small set up for the first time at a Busker Festival allowed Jonny and Tony to set up and tear down relatively quickly, but the show was still just as good as the medium set up show. Jonny and Tony were just as popular as usual, especially Jonny who organized a spoof of the Spring Action show, called “Schwing Action” in Which, Jonny, Dan the One Man Band and Reuben from Fasthorse, dressed up in leotards and attempted their best trampoline tricks.

A new member, Mary Gellner, aka Landfill Lil has joined the group to help pick up the slack. Mary is on of the few and best female drummers in town. Jul 31, 2004 Junkyard Symphony's Recyled Circus is a hit! (Right image) Joined by Aytahn Ross, a juggler, Jeff Hill, a magicain, and Giacomo Trottier, a trampolinist, Junkyard Symphony performed the first version of the Recycled Circus, and it was a huge success. The show debued at the Bronson Centre on Sat Feb 26. With over 250 people, the show lasted for about an hour and 15 minutes and was extremely well recieved by all ages. Aytahn Ross performed his crystal balls and ping pong balls routine. Jeff Hill did his interlocking rings and Giacomo jumped over a ten foot pyramid of buckets into a pile of trash all to the beat of Junkyard Symphony's junk. All in all, Cirque de Soleil better watch out, because there is some new competition arising. |

  Feb 25, 2004 Warming up Winterlude (Left image) Junkyard Jonny and Trashcan Tony had a snowfull time at Winterlude entertaining the crowds on the main stage in Jaques Cartiers Park. Performing the Funk on the Junk show allowed the band to keep moving and the crowd to keep coming back for more. Over the three weeks, the Jam performed 24 shows to over 6000 people. Jan 25, 2004 Garbage and Guitars (Right image) The newest Junkyard Project "Garbage and Guitars", had their first appearance at Zaphod Beelebrox last night to a welcoming crowd. The new project offers a little conventionalism while still keeping with the theme of using junk to make music. Junkyard Jonny contstructed a drumset out of buckets, a water jug with botle caps duct taped to the top for a snare, and two stove top reflector pans stuck together for a hi-hat. For cymbals he used plates, which have a note instead of a crash, so Jonny was forced to evolve from his drummer status to becoming a real musician. Junkyard Jen had a treat in taking over lead vocals, backed up by the deep sounds of Handsome Hans and Dashing Dave Milliken's sweet accoustic guitar sounds. Amazing Al was there too blowing some sax.   Nov 1, 2003 Gymnastic Gina (Left image) At 7:23pm, a tiny new member became part of the Junk Clan, Gymnastic Gina. Weighing 7 pounds and 15 ounces, Gina came into the world with a huge head of hair, a million dollar smile and a drumstick in each hand. Daughter of Junkyard Jonny and Alma Moyeda, Gina will be playing on the pots and pans in no time, just like her daddy. Jul 17, 2003 Molson Garage Party (Right image) Junkyard Symphony teamed up with Molson to create the exciting Molson Garage Party series. It started off with four dates at pubs in the GTA. JYS will be performed a three hour set as the Molson Extreme Team gave away tons of great prizes. Everyone enjoyed the fresh tunes of JYS and the fresh taste of Molson Canadian.   March 15, 2003 Junk Radio (Left image) The JS has been slowly but surely building on the waves. CBC had been playing 'Dream a Dream', 'Didjeridoo' and yes 'Lovejunk', Jonny's favorite underdog song. If you call into CBC radio, you can request any Junkyard Song. The band has been working on material for a third CD 'Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rock'. Feb 24, 2003 Hong Gong (Right image) Showing the Chinese how to make a gong out of a hub cap, Junkyard Jonny and Trashcan Tony ventured into the beautiful city of Hong Kong for a three-day weekend in mid February to play a few shows at the City Gate shopping centre on Launtau island. JYS packed as much sight seeing as they could into the short trip catching a foggy view from the Peek tower, shopping in Kowloon and sneeking in the back way to see the Big Bhudda. Luckily they came home with just pictures and no SARS virus as it hadbroken out that month. |
