Great White
Jack Russell - Vocals
Mark Kendall-Guitar
Michael Lardie-Keyboards & Guitar
Audie Desbrow-Drums
Sean McNabb-Bass
Like the fearsome, deadly denizen of the deep that shares its name, Great White knows something about survival of the fittest. The Southern California blues-rock band first took a bite out of the rock scene in 1984 and has never let go. Great White has achieved [...]
Cee-Lo
I’m not different just because I’m different. I’m different because I dare.
Cee-Lo Green holds certain truths to be self-evident. That music has the power strike that, the obligation to enlighten, entertain, educate and elevate. That music can liberate and celebrate humanity. That music rules the world. Those truths and the undulating messages that Cee-Lo imparts [...]
Gordon
Jeff Phillips: guitar
Chris Dye: vocals/guitar
Greg Evanski: bass
Dave Sobel: hammond organ/keyboards
Lance Porter: drums
No, there’s no connection to Flash. The name of the band Gordon stands for a feeling, the sense of wonder and liberation that great music has always imparted to its listeners. And it’s that feel-ing which characterizes this Los Angeles quintet’s self-titled debut album [...]
Nina Gordon - Tonight And The Rest Of My Life
Artist: Nina Gordon
Title: Tonight And The Rest Of My Life
Label: Warner Bros.
Rating: 7/10
Nina Gordon went from being the “Seether” with Veruca Salt to singing sweet sugary tunes that fill you up in different ways. Tonight And The Rest Of My Life is perhaps the diversity that Gordon has always sought to fulfill her career. Veruca [...]
Nina Gordon
Nina Gordon, former singer/songwriter/guitarist for Veruca Salt is currently getting ready for her first solo release. Her first album without the Veruca Salt gang is titled Tonight And The Rest Of My Life. Expect this album to be filled with the hard guitar sounds and mad lyrics that made Veruca Salt popular with such songs [...]
Gorillaz
Gorillaz are a turbo boosted four piece in overdrive. Their race-turned sound is an F1 Kong with Mighty Joe Young at the wheel. They were last heard at their now infamous debut gig at the Camden Brownhouse, which ended in a riot (natch). On November 27th Gorillaz release their first EP, Tomorrow Comes Today on [...]
Stone Gossard
I’m 34 years old.
Almost 35.
My name is Stone Gossard.
I’ve recently completed a record with ten songs.
The record is called Bayleaf, which is also the name of the first
song I wrote for it while I was on tour with Brad in Australia in ‘97.
In that song there’s a guy who had a lot to give
but ended [...]
Goudie - Peep Show
Artist: Goudie
Title: Peep Show
Label: Elektra
Rating: 6.5/10
Bang! Austin is really cranking out the rock bands lately. The city’s latest export is Goudie. Their first single, “Baby Hello”, offers a sick sound that’s out of the ordinary, which is a nice change of pace.
“Sugar Daddy” has a distinctly kick ass groove. Goudie goes from rock to roll [...]
Goudie
Listen to charismatic front man and Goudie namesake Johnny Goudie on the band’s tantalizing opener, “Baby Hello,” and you can almost envision him slithering over their trademark blast of scorching guitars. Two more songs into Goudie’s astonishing debut effort, ‘Peep Show’, and you realize another curtain just may be lifting on rock’s ever-changing landscape. But [...]
Gomez - Liquid Skin
Artist: Gomez
Title: Liquid Skin
Label: Virgin
Rating: 8/10
Gomez has one thing working for them: they don’t seem to know what they are doing, but they know where they want to go and how to get there. They produce their own albums and just go with what feels right. And what feels right to them feels right to [...]
