John Michaelz - catchy lil' numbers
21 Jul 2005 // A review by jmichaelz
Reviewer: Kim J W
John, his first 'solo' album, catchy tunes, John was playing 'Girl in the silver dress' one night, (happens to be my fav' on this album)and I heard an anonymous person say, "this is one of those songs that should be a hit.." He has a knack for melody, and a voice like gravelly chocolate, ya just know it's him..., it goes with his cheeky, infectious personality. Dance numbers like 'jesus on a couch' and those cruisy ballads of the heart...somethin' for everyone with a nice natural acoustic based feel... xo

05 Sep 2005 // by jmichaelz
JOHN MICHAELZ — SOME SONGS EARLIER this year Mills Reef hosted the celebrations that accompanied the launch of Some Songs, the latest album from John Michaelz — the one-time wild child who fronted the now almost legendary local band Hard to Handle. Many of those who gathered on the night represented, dare I say it, the “old guard” of the local music scene.
