TARG EXCLUSIVE! Hear The New BA JOHNSTON Single NOW.

Self described “failed showman” BA Johnston never stops. He never stops touring, he never stops making us piss out pants with laughter & he never stops putting out records. “Shit Sucks”, BA’s 10th studio album will be officially released on Feb 27th (Mammoth Cave Recording Co.).

House Of TARG is arguably the closest thing this strange performer has to a natural habitat so we are honoured and excited to be the place where you can hear the first single off this album - “Gonna End Up Working In Fort McMurray”. Enjoy! 

Catch BA Johnston Live at House Of TARG on FRIDAY MARCH 27 2015.
