GONERFEST 21 - Thursday Bands
CLICK ON DAY TO SEE BAND PIC & DESCRIPTION
(Memphis / Atlanta)
Shut the front door! Is this a brand new band rocking a three-guitar/vox lineup of Greg Cartwright (Reigning Sound, Oblivians, Compulsive Gamblers, etc), Jesse Smith (Carbonas, Gentleman Jesse, etc) and Joseph Plunkett (Country Westerns, Gentleman Jesse) with Eliza Hill on drums? Where exactly can one go wrong here? Releases coming! What a way to start the fest... WOW! Do not miss this!
(Sacramento, CA)
Sacramento’s longtime enthusiasts of obscure freakbeat and well-dressed but short, sharp and searing freakbeat/60’s garage. Originally active in the 00s and known for their 2004 LP, Sounds of Violence, Th’ Streaks broke up in 2010 but returned in 2018 with the This Band Will Self-Destruct In T-Minus LP and third LP, Last House, earlier this year (all on Slovenly).
(New Orleans, LA)
What the AC/DC t-shirt is to any random Target location, the M.O.T.O. t-shirt is to Goner Fest. Come find out why and celebrate a half-century of power-pop/garage-everything/rock-everything autonomy, as Paul Caporino brings M.O.T.O. back for the first GF appearance since the pre-pandemic days. Check out 2023’s Wall of Phlegm on Michael Bateman’s Nuthin’ Records. "I Hate My Fucking Job." "Blast Of Silence." "Magic Words." Hooks for days.
(San Francisco, CA)
The ‘OKs’, as they address one another, are quartet of true lifers adept at good-times garage rock cheekily self-described as “DMZ-meets-The Lyres” (that is pretty funny), Led by a one Helene 33, this is the exact organ-driven cave-punk party implied by song titles like “Teenage Timebomb”, “Rustle Up Some Action” or “It’s Not You”. Garage lifers living in a garage you'd wanna live in!
(Sydney, Australia)
RMFC - This stands for "Rock Music Fan Club"...a pretty big operation one would think, but that’s beside the point. When you were in high school did you study bass lines of New Order’s Peter Hook or Stephen Tolhurst's drumming in The Cure and successfully apply these influences (plus others) to a one man band? You can answer ‘yes’ but we won’t believe you. Just another insane Aussie band in the Gee Tee / Tee Vee Repairmann / Research Reactor Corps vein. IE Essential current punk rock punk! Catch the Thursday night set and become a member of the growing RMFCFC.
(UK/ CA)
(CA / UK)
Derv Gordon, co-founder and lead singer of The Equals (the UK’s first interracial rock band), is already Gonerfest headliner royalty after proverbially burning down the stage at GF 14 in 2017. This year he returns to do the same for the Thursday night lineup, and as before, Gordon will be backed by the band, So What, who will precede Gordon’s set and help the crowd pregame the evening’s explosive close.
