Johnny Socko

Johnny Socko is an indie rock/ska band founded in 1990 in Bloomington, Indiana. They used to be on Asian Man Records, but have since started their own record label, Triple R Records. They were known as a band that toured heavily, having performed over 2,000 shows since their inception, but are currently on hiatus. They performed their last concert on New Years Eve 2004. One of their songs, "Full Trucker Effect" is used in its entirety as part of the introduction to the "Bubba The Love Sponge" show on Sirius Satellite Radio. The band takes its name from "Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot", a 1960s Japanese action television show.

Michael "Trout" Wiltrout, the group's former vocalist, has since formed The Leisure Kings with Sean Baker, as well as providing lead vocals for the band Mr. Sparkle. Joey Welch, the group's former guitarist, has since formed the Born Again Floozies and continues to work with the Las Vegas Body Snatchers.
