 John Doe - Biography - Moviefone
Fascinated by beat poetry and eager to hone his skills as a writer, Duchac moved to Venice, CA, in 1976; early the next year, John adopted the stage name John Doe and began dipping his toes into Los Angeles's burgeoning punk rock scene.
Doe met guitarist Billy Zoom, who like Doe was eager to form a band, and when Doe met Exene Cervenka at a poetry workshop, they began comparing notes and soon started writing songs.
Doe has since played a number of memorable supporting roles, often as musicians, in films running the gamut from Pure Country and Wyatt Earp to Georgia and Boogie Nights.

 IT'S A JOHN DOE THING - AE:ONLINE April 2, 1998
After everything is said and done, punk idol John Doe will press "recline" on his motorized hospital bed and reflect on all the things he's done in his life.
Another unlikely influence on Doe's current project is Dave Way, a rhythm and blues mixer who's worked with such other obscure acts as the Spice Girls and TLC.
Doe had been circulating a bunch of demos he'd been recording when someone from Kill Rock Stars called him to say the label was interested in putting out a few of the songs.

 In Music We Trust - INTERVIEW: John Doe: Seminal Frontman John Doe Explains What Freedom Is...
Doe is most widely known as the frontman for the groundbreaking Los Angeles punk band, X. But, those unfamiliar with his music may also know him as the father of the lead girl on the WB's teen drama, Roswell.
And in Doe's case, breaking ground and charting new waters with both X and The Knitters (Doe's country outfit), comparisons are bound to run ramped and the criticism to be quite hard.
Doe also gives us a little idea of what it was like during the sessions for the album: "We did pre-production, but left it open for spontaneity.

Though punk rock rarely emphasizes a vocalist's emotional range and subtlety, John Doe distinguished himself during the glory days of X as arguably the finest singer that punk has ever spawned.
This new release does a good job of both reinforcing and dispelling this lopsided view, providing a look at the tremendous craft he puts into his music, while at the same time creating a new image of John Doe as, well, a consummate craftsman.
Doe is a "musicians' musician"...one of the best modern composers in the music business, in any genre.

 OnMilwaukee.com Arts and Entertainment: Doe tells all, from X to amphetamines
Musician John Doe, most famous for his band X that redefined West Coast punk rock in the '80s, recently played a solo show at Milwaukee's Shank Hall in support of his new record, "Dim Stars, Bright Sky."
His new style is mellower, with country and rock influences most apparent, but after rapping with Doe for almost an hour, it's clear that his wise-arse punk-rock self is still very much alive and well.
JD: The only two famous people in Baltimore were John Waters and Spirow Agnew and I didn't want to be either of them, and I wanted to do more than put on aluminum siding, so I left.

After a two-year hiatus from the recording scene, Doe is back with a strong new solo disc, an upcoming tour that brings him this week to the Old Vic in Santa Rosa, and a decidedly mature outlook on life, love, and why he doesn't play country music anymore.
Co-produced by Doe and Dave Way (Macy Gray, Christina Aguilera), the disc features an all-star cast of players, including ex-wife and X singer Exene Cervenka (who collaborates on one song), guitarist Mike Ward of the Wallflowers, and guitarist Smokey Hormel and drummer Joey Waronker of the Beck band.

 Pop-Culture-Corn: Music: Q/A with John Doe
Doe's music is full of tough-minded compassion for those who suffer, whether from their own stupidity or just plain bad luck, and in performance his ability to communicate those feelings is remarkable; you don't feel like you're listening to music so much as engaging in conversation.
Not surprising, then, that he is so insightful, funny, and generous if you are lucky enough to share a few words with him, as PCC did the morning after his Chicago Noise Pop appearance.
And it's very popular with a certain level of musicians, because then they know that there's one place they're going to have clean clothes.

John Doe plays an aging guitarist, living hand-to-mouth on session work and road gigs, though he has a sizable family to support.
All of them are pretty good, really (John Taylor is definitely the stand-out among the non-pros), but there is a difference between accomplished craft and decent screen presence.
Considering that the film is primarily focused on the slimy underbelly of the music industry, it is remarkably sweet and sunny, showing the ordinary tribulations of people whose time in the spotlight has passed.

 In Music We Trust - John Doe: Dim Stars, Bright Sky
When it comes to his solo albums or his band The John Doe Thing, Doe has always ran the gamut, reaching out with some guitar-driven rock for those that crave the punker in him, while mixing in the solo side of what he does.
The acoustic guitar and piano elegance of "Still You" (with Juliana Hatfield) is mellow and sweet, Doe's soothing, wisdom-filled voice splendidly complimented by Hatfield's airy background breeze, all while the gentle song steadily and quietly comes together with an absolutely stunning result.
Propelled by Doe and Mann harmonizing, the song bridges the gap between the rock of Doe's earlier solo offerings, the roots-rock he has touched upon, and the melodic, tender Americana and pop of this album.

While Doe and Co. aim the program at a twenty to thirty-something demographic (the music is mostly rock oriented), there is probably something here for everyone.

 John Doe
As a founding member of X - the most important band to emerge from the L.A. punk scene - John Doe became a prickly icon, penning brainy ruminations with former wife Exene Cervenka on life, love, sex and the death of art all the while delivering a confounding mix of punk fury and slick rockabilly.
As a solo artist, Doe exhibits none of the anxious ferocity, and instead is a man at peace with his art and his choices.
In addition to his musical accomplishments, Doe is an incredibly adept actor, a career he began during one of X’s hiatus in 1986.

 Welcome to DVD Planet/Digital Eyes - Your home for DVD!
BORDER RADIO was Allison Anders’s directorial debut, made in collaboration with Kurt Voss (who would later work with her, and John Doe, on 1999's SUGAR TOWN), and Dean Lent.
The plot involves a desperate musician, Jeff (Chris D, of the L.A. punk band, The Flesheaters), who leaves his wife (played by Luana Anders, the director's sister) and child, and runs to Mexico to escape his creditors.
The film’s charm lies in its rambling good humor, and in the natural charisma of its stars, including musician John Doe (of the L.A. punkers, X), and Dave Alvin (of the 1980s rockabilly band, The Blasters).

The White Stripes' strange take on the blues inspired John Doe to get out his old Howlin' Wolf records and figure out what his take on the blues might be.
Even though four songs are written in the traditional 12-bar format, "Forever Hasn't Happened Yet" is not an album that blues purists would ever claim; it's too romantic and bohemian for that.
