GREAT NEWS FOR FANS OF AUTHENTIC 1966-67 AMERICAN GARAGE BAND ROCK 'N ROLL!
The all-original 1967 line-up of GONN will tour Europe for 2 weeks, beginning June 18, 2009. Shows on deck thus far include Paris, Amsterdam, Torino with a dozen others...
Craig Moore (bass/vocals/screaming), Gerry Gabel (organ/vocals, the voice heard singing "Blackout Of Gretely"), Rex Garrett (lead guitar & fuzztone), Larry LaMaster, rhythm guitar, and Dave Johnson (drums), will be hammering home 90 minutes of roof-rattling 60's punk exactly as they did 40+ years ago, back when it was simply called 'rock 'n roll'. There are precious few all-original 60's garage bands to be seen these days, and this will be a show not to be missed.
UK shows will also feature new-generation-garage rockers FLIGHT 13 from Doncaster, Yorkshire, with guitarist/vocalist Bob Hughes, veteran of the FUZZTONES GONN PRIMITIVE TOUR in October & November of 2008, with Craig Moore (GONN), Rudi Protrudi & Mike Czekaj (Fuzztones), and Lana Loveland (Bonniwell Music Machine), so it will be a fun reunion of sorts, as well as a night crammed full of original American garage rock & psych.
GONN music permeates the universe via LP & CD currently in print on the Sundazed 'Loudest Band In Town' LP and Rhino's legendary 'Nuggets' box set, and has previously circled the globe via the Bomp /Voxx LP, the UK 'Pebbles' box set, "Frenzology" & "GONN With The Wind" CD's, countless bootlegs and '45's & EP's. NOW available - the brand new "GONN For Good - Best Of 1966-2008" CD that includes the best studio tracks, live reunion recordings, and an otherwise unavailable 2008 cover version of The Fuzztones' "Shame On You". (All available via the myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/gonn66).
Live footage of GONN & Craig Moore at various US shows are scattered around youtube, and if you search youtube by enetering 'Fuzztones Gonn' you will find many audience postings from that fall tour.
