BIOGRAPHY:
Who are Johnny Rock and The Limits? Well, they rock out and make you want to dance like a 4 year old to “The Funky Chicken” and your little sister’s already got their poster on her wall.
They began as Johnnys crazy idea to start a band from scratch and headline the Espy front bar and be "the biggest band in Melbourne" within 6 months. Thankfully, Johnny doesn’t know when to quit and the band continued their rampage on Melbourne’s music scene releasing their debut album aptly named, albeit delusional, "Finally Famous" to a full house at the Hi Fi bar. They've also packed out a laneway headlining the AIR new music stage at St Kilda festival, and not to mention filled out rooms across Melbourne. Known for their high energy shows they frequently bring gospel singers, and horn players on stage with them extending their already large 5 piece rock set up. If that wasn’t enough they also put on grand themed gigs that you can't miss! Like their 3D gig, where they gave away 3D glasses and projected 3D horror movies on the wall. Or their 80s prom gig where the room was decked out in pink streamers and balloons and everyone dressed up in suits and puffy sleeved dresses.
Despite the name the band seem to have no limits to how far they can go and have been taking their show interstate this year after appearing on the Cornetto Summer TV ad campaign. After releasing two singles, they are about to release their much anticipated EP ‘Highly Likely’- with another tour to follow.
