John at the Johnny Ramone annual tribute
While we’re pretty good with keeping with John’s musical activities, some people appear not to be satisfied by that. So, this is for all of you who keep on sending emails and messages on social networks to ask where is he, are there any new pictures, what he looks like right now etc. You can relax now. John was present at the 7th annual tribute to Johnny Ramone at the Hollywood Cemetery on the 1st of October. Though he appears not to have given any sort of an interview, as it was the case in 2008, here’s what everyone asked for, as these photos from a public event. See the…

Clarification: John is not a member of Swahili Blonde (but he was)
The long-awaited review of the Swahili Blonde show at Echoplex by Grimy Goods is finally up. It was long-awaited because they stated that they have spoken to John at some point, to ask him to clarify whether he was a part of the project or not. While this is not an actual interview, just a reference to a brief chat, it should clear up things that were never clearly stated. Or, more likely, never updated. Before you continue reading all this, just one little disclaimer: this website was always supporting the band. And yes, it was because of John (which is absolutely normal coming from a website about him!) and…

HQ video and stills from the Swahili Blonde party!
As usual, some people take a couple of days to recover from a great show. Some of them keep their impressions for themselves, which is probably not really cool, but it’s OK. Some of them say a thing or two, take a couple of photos. And some, like our friends Ari and Ernesto go out of their way to bring us a whole Eyjafjallajökull-smoke-explosion worth of awesome. So? So, you’re in for an Invisible Movement exclusive! Here’s Ari’s video of Swahili Blonde performing Dr. Teeth two nights ago at the Echoplex. If you open this entire news page, you’ll also get to see screencaps of Ernesto Mejia‘s video, shoot from…

Photos from the Swahili Blonde album release party
We’ve seen the first as-it-happens impressions from the Swahili Blonde album release party this morning, thanks for the wonders of the new media and its “channels”; now it’s the time for more fine-polished stuff, which will be posted as they keep on arriving. If you have photographs of your own, please do send them over. Invisible Movement will never claim your photos as its own and if you’re an owner of another website, they will go online with your own watermark/no watermark (whatever is the way you prefer them). At the same time, this website reserves the right not to publish anything that I feel would be too intrusive/invasive. Thank…

John on stage with Swahili Blonde. Details to follow. [updated]
Apparently, the 22+ months of not having had the pleasure to hear and see John live are over. According to numerous reports on Twitter, he has taken the stage with Swahili Blonde for the instrumental track, Dr. Teeth. Some of us are apparently physics so they woke at the right moment to publish it here-as-it-happens. The others should probably not freak out about that and enjoy it. ^_^ Grimy Goods, who have previously given away tickets for this event, report: Frusciante hits the stage with Swahili Blonde finally. You can hear it! But everyone is still very confused. Swahili Blonde! Where’s Frusciante? It’s dark back here but dude does not…

No Speed Dealer Moms live…at least until further notice
For the past couple of days, I received quite a lot of emails from all of you who had tickets to the Bang Fest. I am sorry that there couldn’t have been a response beforehand (and I feel quite embarrassed for having emailed the organisers twice); just imagine how it was for them – probably much harder than it was for anyone else. So, the news is: Aaron and John have decided to keep Speed Dealer Moms in the studio for now; so there will be no live show at this stage.. However, Bang Face 69 on 28 Aug will be a free event for the Hard Crew and feature…
