He is what I would call the Peterborough, small town pop-acoustic-punk equivalent of late night skit comedy. He is in the middle of a big tour (welcome to the splendor of touring across Canada), on his 4th CD titled My Heart is a Blinking Nintendo, and he'll be back on the 24th. BA Johnston, born Christian Johnston of Peterborough, Ontario, left his mother's basement destined for great things. The solo performer has recorded four CDs, the most recent in a kitchen with the addition of drums. "Drummers hate playing with me," a sentiment that originates from the frequent tempo changes of his songs. The quote was accurate; he was alone on stage, his songs, frequently changing tempo. Pounding beats previously composed on two different keyboards and an acoustic accompanied him on stage as he performed his social commentary, dwelling on adolescence, all "in the key of waltz." Christian feels Jesus may have been from Hamilton; however, the religious sentiment of the area wasn't enough to keep him from moving on from there to Halifax. From Halifax the journey begins via Greyhound to the West Coast. On the "No Fans No Money No Chicks No Car Mega Tour," you can't expect him to cruise into town in a van. His songs reflect the yearning for the finer things in life that one only acquires with fame, such as a deep fryer for the bedroom. Songs of love, pirates, fast food and a passionate hatred of squirrels somehow left me ravishing for poutine when the show was over. One massive body bag containing his two keyboards and his acoustic accompanied him on his 22 stops across the nation. Leaving a BA Johnston show is "like the first time you finished Mario 2." Once you figure out what the hell happened, a sudden feeling of accomplishment overcomes you, and to those who know you best, you appear as though nothing has changed at all. The sentiment you're left with is that the trials and tribulations of life are what will form the excuses you will have for doing more stupid things in the future, oh, and what will make good times seem that much better...Wait, no, that's just the good times on their own. It might even be that the sweet times of others are what make your life seem constantly bitter. In either case, I think it's the constant beating the 'reflections on life' and 'politics' receive from musicians and poets that makes BA Johnston's light, social commentary so refreshing and soothing. It's not that I would ever suggest reflective or political music need cease or even slow, however, it's nice to see someone break away from the beaten path. Some music is created to sooth and feed the soul, other music is created to punch its shoulder and throw a water balloon at it. (Less)
