Gonzalez
Gonzalez, like Evil Knievel with Black Sabbath for a pit crew, are the groove-soul mean machine, the electro-boogie pinball wizards with grooves so thick they can scoop out mountains and a back beat that demands four hips to move in all the right directions. They are hard rock played like it actually means something. They are, quite possibly, your new favourite band.
Gonazalez songs spawl out like sleazy Cadillacs muscling their way to midnight under a sky full of mirror balls; a cocky, snake eyed slink that tastes of James Gang and War on the hair pin turns, but the monster-trucking stone groove that fuels the Gonzalez machine is all Rock. Refugees from the hardcore wars, Gonzalez are recovering punks with a solid pedigree of mid 70's riff-rock, back when God lurked in a gate-fold sleeve, from the fuzz anthems of Captain Beyond to the biker metal of ZZ Top to the guitar heroics of Thin Lizzy.
Gonzalez, hailing from Atlanta, USA, have already managed to share bills with heavy-weights like acid-tongued space rockers Nebula and UK mega-doomsters Electric Wizard, and they're veterans of annual heavy rock uber-festivals, Emissions From The Monolith and Stoner Hands Of Doom (SHOD). And they're only getting started. Most of the past year has been spent laying down tracks for the ultimate rock album, the king daddy rattlesnanke motherfucker of all debuts, sure to usher in a new era of heavy music. The Super Rock revolution is on, brothers and sisters, and with Gonzalez at the helm, it's gonna be a wild ride...
In November 2003 Gonzalez came over to Europe for a first handful of dates in the Netherlands and Belgium , together with label mates Cowboys & Aliens.
At the end of 2005 the Gonzalez-guys released their second album; "Torero".
