Johnny Falloon

Johnny Falloon consists of John Edmondson (Vocals, lyrics), Joseph Clementi (drums), Matthew Greer (bass, production) and recently Scott Kelley (Saxophone). Edmondson, Clementi and Greer first convened in late 2022 to perform several impromptu and off-the-cuff performances. The then trio continued in this fashion, creating and destroying their sound and performance expectations constantly, a process leaving only the group’s bones behind. The surviving skeleton finds its strength between Edmondson’s enigmatic and varied vocal delivery, Clementi’s inspired, frantic, and enduring percussion, and Greer’s inventive and unconventional bass lines. The group sees the addition of saxophonist Scott Kelley on the Tell Hell I’m Not Coming album cycle, serving as a sharp melodic counterpoint to Falloon’s original trio.

Utilizing their “Think, Don’t Think” methodology of improvisation and composition, Johnny Falloon conjured something fresh (and a little bit rotten) in Tell Hell I’m Not Coming. Recorded primarily over three days by Greer at Full Moon Studios outside of Athens, the group found themselves at their most ambitious during the some 13 hour sessions. Taking a handful of favorites from their varied live performances and marrying them with a healthy amount of studio floor invention, the result is an organic, moving, and curious endeavor.
