B.A Johnston, our cult hero, returns to Ramsgate on May 18th! His new album ‘The Skid is Hot Tonight’ is out now, and there’s even a TV show in the works…
For those of who aren’t in the know: expect songs about cheap beer, drinking beer in a car, and drinking so much beer that you are worried you will fall out of a canoe and drown. Beer is indeed a common theme, along with fast-food, Nintendo and shitty cats. His previous two shows are stuff of legends. Consequently, B.A is soon to be crowned the king of Ramsgate. Subject to law.
Last time out we were treated to B.A’s Hot Dog Eating Competition, won heroically by Mr. Dave Butler. This year we have something else in the works: The Nugz Are Hot Tonight (it’s a hot wings competition, basically)…
BA Johnston has been playing music in his Canada, pretty much since the dawn of time. He is best known for his hit song “Deep Fryer in my Bedroom” and for once having crashed a snowmobile into the Canadian Prime Minister’s pool. He can usually be found in Canada playing in some crappy bar for a nominal cover charge but has decided to branch out and play crappy bars in other countries. So get ready for a non refundable night of entertainment that has been described by Canadian media as “not for everyone”.
