Kurtis Johnson’s Blog

i havent been updating this near as much as i was supposed to be. i bought my own domain name and everything, and im still slacking. i have been way too busy with summer school.

i am super pumped to leave for tour in a couple weeks. i will definitely try to blog more during that and post pictures and what not, incase any of you are interested.

thats all for now… i got nothin…

So me and some friends went fishing the other day in Jekyll Island. Its a fun place to go except for the giant death flies that try to kill you every five seconds. This fish right here was making a weird growling noise…

We ended up cutting its head off, because thats what you do to fish before you eat them.  Actually, I’m about to go over to Michael and Rob Rob’s house right now to eat everything we caught! Should be good!

So my band was supposed to play this big festival next week on the 16th of May. Turns out, the entire festival was a fraud. Switchfoot was even originally on the bill, so it was supposed to be a pretty big deal. The owners of the property where it was supposed to take place were never even contacted. Check out THIS LINK for more info.

Its pretty crazy stuff. I’m bummed. I was looking forward to playing it. We dont have a lot of stuff set up this summer as of now, so hopefully that will pick up soon!

Other than that, I finished up this semester of school today. The bad news is, I’m starting summer class on Monday and I will be busy with that until I leave with CROSSWALK. I’m hoping nothing goes wrong with that!

You know that guy who always makes up stuff? Every time he says something is going to happen, it doesnt. I feel like that guy right now. This always happens to me. I told so many people my band was playing with Switchfoot, then they dropped off, then the whole festival turned out to be a scam. I feel like a loser but ITS NOT MY FAULT!!! A lot of people were scammed by this. Luckily, crosswalk happens every year so I know its legit. But since I’ve told so many people about this tour, it would be my luck for something to fall through with it. I’m just praying it everything goes smoothly! I cant wait to go with them!

Thats all for now.

so heres a video of our last show. it isnt the best quality, because the sound at this place wasnt all that great. i also look really lame, maybe partly because there wasnt a lot of room to move, and there was junk all over the floor where i was, but anyways, ill quit making excuses. just check it out!

We’re more than carbon and chemicals
We are the image of the invisible
Free will is ours and we can’t let go
We are the image of the invisible
We can’t allow this, the quiet cull
We are the image of the invisible
So we sing out this, our canticle
We are the image of the invisible

We all were lost now we are found
No one can stop us or slow us down
We are the named and we are known
We know that we’ll never walk alone

We’re more than static and dial tone
We are the image of the invisible
We’re emblematic of the unknown
We are the image of the invisible
So raise the banner, bend back your bows
We are the image of the invisible
Remove the cancer, take back your souls
We are the image of the invisible

Raise up the banner, bend back your bows
Remove the cancer, take back your souls
