John V. Variety is an employee of Variety Enterprises and the alien-born host of The John V. Variety Hour, a “psych pop rave-up” from another galaxy that has found syndication on earth in Miami, Berlin, and Brooklyn. His brain is upside down and he’s sustained several concussions, so his idea of pop music is strange and abrasive — but he nevertheless tries, often bursting through the dark gothic pallor with glamorous gleeful explosions and psychedelic surprises, as well as a rotating motley crew of collaborators onstage and off (including, but not limited to: the French-German sound artist Laure Boer, the rapper Big Baby Gandhi, and Jah Jah of Ninjasonik). He often shares his askew thoughts on twitter under @johnvvariety.
