Childhood

Marr's parents emigrated from County Kildare, Ireland, to Manchester in the 1950s. He attended St Augustine's RC Grammar School, which then merged with other schools to form a Comprehensive School. Marr had aspirations to be a professional football (soccer) player, and was approached by Nottingham Forest F.C. and had trials with Manchester City F.C. (whom he supports). In an interview with FourFourTwo magazine, Marr said, "I was good enough for City, but they didn't follow up because I was probably the only player out there wearing eyeliner."

The Smiths

Main article: The Smiths

Marr as a young boy would often take days off school to sit and play guitar to his favourite 7" mastering each and every song he owned, he would play violin parts and vocal harmonies on the guitar. In 1982, Marr began writing songs with Morrissey, after they formed The Smiths. To complete the lineup, they recruited Mike Joyce on drums and Dale Hibbert on bass guitar. After The Smiths' live debut at the Ritz in Manchester, Hibbert was replaced by Marr's friend Andy Rourke. By then, Morrissey had dropped his first name and Maher had changed his name to Marr to avoid confusion with the Buzzcocks drummer. The Smiths were an English rock band active from 1982 to 1987. ...

Having achieved commercial and critical success with landmark albums such as The Queen Is Dead, The Smiths were soon popular in the UK and Ireland, but did not have the same degree of success elsewhere. Although they were a fixture on American college radio, worldwide commercial success came after the band was split up. Marr left the band in 1987 due to his frustrations with Morrissey and the direction that The Smiths' music was taking. The Queen Is Dead is the third studio album of The Smiths. ...


From The Smiths' inception to the breakup of the band five years later, Marr and Morrissey co-wrote four albums, as well as numerous B-sides and other unreleased songs that eventually appeared on compilations. Still today, the partnership of Marr and Morrissey is praised by critics and cited by numerous musicians as a highly influential songwriting duo.[citation needed]


Since Marr left the group, no known attempts have been made of reuniting The Smiths. Amidst false press reports of a Smiths reunion, Marr performed "How Soon Is Now?" with former bandmate Andy Rourke at the Manchester v Cancer benefit concert at Manchester's M.E.N. Arena on 28 January 2006. How Soon Is Now? is a 1984 song written by Morrissey and Johnny Marr and first released by their band The Smiths. ...

After the dissolution of The Smiths, Marr became a sought-after session player, writing, touring and recording with, among others, Bryan Ferry, Kirsty MacColl, Neil Finn, Karl Bartos of Kraftwerk, Talking Heads, Black Grape, Billy Bragg, Pet Shop Boys, Beck and Oasis. He also acted as co-producer for some of the aforementioned artists and co-produced Manchester band Haven at his own Clear Studios.

The Pretenders, The The and Electronic (1987-1999)

After Marr left The Smiths in August 1987, he was very briefly an official member of The Pretenders. In late 1987, he toured with the band and appeared on the single "Windows of the World" b/w "1969". He then left The Pretenders, and recorded and toured with The The from 1988 through 1994, and simutaneously formed Electronic with New Order's Bernard Sumner and sometime members Pet Shop Boys.

Johnny Marr and The Healers (2000-2003)

In 2000 Johnny recruited drummer Zak Starkey (son of Ringo Starr), Cavewaves guitarist Lee Spencer and ex-Kula Shaker bassist Alonza Bevan for his new project Johnny Marr and the Healers. The band had taken two years to come together as Marr had wanted members to be chosen "by chemistry". Their debut album Boomslang was released in 2003, with all lyrics and lead vocals by Marr. A second album was originally scheduled for release in April 2005, and a short tour was expected soon after, but Marr has since stated that the band is on the "side burner" for the time being (Manchester Evening News, May 2007). Drummer Starkey is currently involved with Oasis and The Who, and Bevan has regrouped with Kula Shaker.

Modest Mouse (2006-present)

In 2006, Marr became an official member of the American band Modest Mouse. Rumour has it that Modest Mouse had put out the word that they were looking for a "Johnny Marr-esque guitarist", and coincidentally, Johnny Marr was one of the people who answered the call. He wrote some of the songs with lead singer Isaac Brock on their new album We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank, in addition to being featured on guitar,[1] and toured with the band throughout 2006 and 2007.[2][3] Modest Mouse is an North-American indie rock band formed in 1993 in Issaquah, Washington by singer/lyricist/guitarist Isaac Brock, drummer Jeremiah Green, bassist Eric Judy, and guitarist Dann Gallucci. ...

The new album reached number one on the American Billboard charts in late March 2007. For Marr this is the first time he has had a number one record in the US. The highest chart position before that was with Electronic, who made the Top 40 in the singles chart with "Getting Away With It".[4]


The Cribs (2008)

In January 2008, Marr had reportedly been adding his skill and experience to a secret songwriting session with Wakefield indie group The Cribs. Sources reveal that they worked together for a week at Moolah Rouge recording studio in Stockport - a favourite haunt of Bolton's Badly Drawn Boy, Damon Gough and fellow northern indie heroes I Am Kloot - and have penned a number of new songs.[5] He also played at the Glasgow Barrowlands, Manchester Academy, Oxford Academy, Bristol Carling Academy, Leeds University, Cardiff University and Brixton Carling Academy with The Cribs on the NME Awards Tour. On 23rd February 2008 XFM reported that Marr was to become a full member of The Cribs. On the 28th February 2008 he also played onstage with The Cribs at NME Big Gig at the O2.
