Always like a tune when you know it from the first lick.

I am , personally, dying to see them live. I have a dvd of one of their concerts and Yes, I would have to say the rock the house. Their style runs the gamut and that may be what throws some people off. But, they are one of my favorite bands...ever!

Gomez played a private party for a friend of mine's promotion company and mixed their music with bits of stand-up comedy and goofy impressions - he said everyone left the gig a Gomez convert. Guess you had to be there. . .  |

I don't know what the appeal of this band is — but I guess they have some to some people since they obviously had some fans there. The thing that will stick out in my mind was when one of the group members asked the audience: "Who's heard of us before?"
*cheers* "Who's never heard of us before but likes us?"
*some cheers* "Who's never heard of us before and thinks we suck?"
*a few cheers (myself included)* It totally threw the member off — he was like "uuh, okay", as if stunned that anybody would dare to think they suck. I just had to laugh.

Just a "5" for me - sorry! "6" maybe! Max.!!

Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline is a truly outstanding album. It's all over the place in captivating ways. I've had it in my car for many months now - great for driving. |

 Gomez is not a person...well, not a band mamber anyway.
The band played their first gig together in late 1996 in Leeds without a formal name. The band left a sign out for a friend of theirs whose surname was Gomez to indicate that it was the site of their first gig. People saw the sign and assumed that the band's name was Gomez - the name stuck.
good thing his name wasn't MacGhilleseatheanaich !

This disc is a bunch of outtakes, studio detritus, etc. That, I guess, would explain the ragged nature of this and a few other cuts. That's the risk in putting out stuff culled from the cutting room floor. If you've listened to their latest, How We Operate, I think you'd find a very mature band with a lot to say.
