GAYLORD

Bio:

FOR ALL American BOOKINGS & PRESS requests CONTACT: ATOMICPROMOTIONS@gmail.com Gaylord: What’s In A Name? If the name of the game is charm, then Rochester’s Gaylord win. Not only have they chosen a word that I haven’t heard since third grade for a band name—unless you count in Meet The Parents, which I don’t—but their music also has a unique quirkiness to match. Touching on punk, metal, jazz, funk and surf rock stylistically, it might just be what Mr.Bungle might have been if they’d had a little soul. Propelled by the guitars of Core Atoms and the ferocious jazz drumming of Andrew Verstraete, not to mention the bass/vocal work of Jeff Steverson, the trio are a three-man mobile party unit, the kind of act you’d see rocking out in PCU if it were made today and George Clinton couldn’t do it for whatever reason. Those who shoot over to their MySpace will be treated to an exceptional, siren-laced jam cover of The Doors’“Light My Fire,” the first such cover I’ve heard to give the song the treatment it truly deserves. They’ve got tour dates lined up through March, including dates at South By Southwest in Austin, TX, but so far nothing in our area. To tide yourself over, you can head to cdbaby.com and pick up the latest record, Tsunami. Consider it highly recommended. ~The Aquarian Get GAYLORD MP3's AT: http://payplay.fm/gaylordmusic iTunes _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> When people talk about the music of dreams, they're usually talking about what they wish dreams sounded like --- all light and airy and full of butterflies. The reality is dreams sound like Gaylord: manic, weird, pleasant, funny, making little or lots of sense simultaneously. Simply put, these guys are plugged in to what's what and are pure genius. --- Frank De Blase, City Magazine, February 2006 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ BUY RESPLENDENT LOCUTION online now! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ .. .. .. .. < <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ..
