Midnight Juggernauts return
Hearted on the 18th Oct, 2008
This weekend at the Sounds In The Ground festival at Sydney Uni, disco fiends Midnight Juggernauts will make their triumphant return to home soil.
Jonno enjoys long walks on the beach, preferrably accompanied Mischa Barton and by some jagged indie/pop OC band playing in the background. But please god, not Youth Group. He currently works as a freelance journalist while wasting time in an arts/law degree. Jonno contributes to the Brag, 2threads.com, Dontpanicmedia.com.au, whothehell.net, Blitz and Tharunka (at UNSW). He plays (and teaches) drumkit in De Stijl, a sydney based group with stadium aspirations, is friends with Sneaky Sound System and Starky and cites his mum as his greatest influence. His best experience? Meeting Dave Grohl unexpectedly at a cafe in Bondi...
