Johnny Marr + The Healers

The Profile

British alternative rock band led by Johnny Marr, featuring Alonza Bevan and Zak Starkey. They released the studio album Boomslang in 2003 and toured in support of it.

Known for the 2003 album Boomslang and a 2003 tour; live lineup included Johnny Marr (vocals, guitar), Alonza Bevan (bass), and Zak Starkey (drums).

Two DeBaser reviews focus on Boomslang (2003) and a 2003 Munich live show. Both judge the project harshly, calling the material derivative of Britpop peers and the performance dull. The live set included a Dylan cover and drew criticism for drumming and song choices. Mellowdrone, the support act, earned unexpected praise.
