John Wesley Coleman III incorporates indie rock slack with witty storytelling in his music. Hailing from Irving, Texas and l
iving
much like a drifter in East Austin, Colemanstarted engaging himself in a
variety of creative activities in the mid-2000s: performing with
psychedelic five-piece Golden Boys, doing standup comedy, painting,
writing books and movie scripts, and recording solo material. Monofonus
Press released Coleman’s combination poetry book/CD, American Trashcan,
in 2008, and followed it up with a 7” titled Ghettoblaster, which
included a cover of George Michael's "Faith." His next full-length,
Steal My Mind, was issued in 2009, before Permanent Records released Bad
Lady Goes to Jail in 2010 and Daggerman Records dropped Little Miss
Keith Richards.Coleman returned in 2012 with The Last Donkey Show,
recorded in Oakland, California at Greg Ashley's Creamery studio, and at
a friend's childhood home in Lockhardt, Texas, offering more of his
uniquely colorful tales and a hint of maturity. Coleman remixed some of
his own material from American Trashcan for the 2012 release Nightmare
On Silly Street, and in 2014 he teamed up with the respected West Coast
indie label Burger Records to put out the album The Love That You Own.
