Band/artist history
The Lemon Johns are Kyle McManis and Markus Smith. Writing all the music. Playing all the instruments and doing all the singing. Of course we still employ the Royal Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Mongolian throats singers, a Gospel choir, a barber-shop quartet, and of course, Her Majesty's Royal Drum Corp., for all live performances. (Unicorns and zebras may vary.) Markus is still in Rebellion, since 1985. Kyle is grounded and earthy.

What equipment do you use?
Organic equipment mostly. Waterstone and Paul Reed Smith guitars, mostly. Pianos, organs, syths, Casio to Akai, cheap to expensive. Tube amps from Carvin, Vox, and Bogner.
