Update on Johnny Quaid

[antoniostrohs]

Saw this quick update today in Louisville's' Courier Journal newspaper.  Cool to know he is still involved in the music scene. Also former drummer J.Glenn is mentioned.

"The Tallest is the latest Chicago band with a Louisville connection. Ex-My Morning Jacket guitarist Johnny Quaid produced the band's strong debut album, "The Future Burns the Sun," recorded in Shelbyville. The band performs tonight at The Rudyard Kipling, 422 W. Oak St., with J. Glenn and The Touched (9 p.m., $5).  " Jeffry Lee Puckett

I was listening to the Run Thru single only yesterday.
Seeing the inside pic made me wonder what Johnny & Danny are up to.
Thanks for the info  :)

Can't find any sample tracks anywhere  :(

"debut album"?

im thinking that album was recorded a while ago.  im pretty sure that studio hasnt been used much if at all since johnny left the band.  last i heard he was in cali.  is this another case of someone using the jacket name for a lil press boost?

i hear danny is busy huffing screenprinting fumes.  its given him x ray vision.  he's joining a circus side show where he will guess your underwear color for 5 bucks.

I saw the article in the C-J or Leo or whatever that said something about Tommy working on John's long-awaited solo album. Just curious if anyone had a website or other contact info. Last I heard he was a carpenter in northern CA.
Helluva nice guy, and it's crazy to think that many or even most current MMJ fans never got to see them with Johnny in the band. Goddamn he was something.

Good hair Johnny is missed.  Here's the best I can give for now.

Alright, thanks! I had no idea.

I'd fix the spelling of his name before somebody jumps down your throat.  Oh wait, did I just do that?  Sorry.
