Gob

поискал группу, посвященную этому коллективу - не нашел... решил создать) Early history The roots of Gob trace back to Theo Goutzinakis (guitar, vocals) and Tom Thacker (guitar, vocals) meeting at Brookswood Secondary School in Langley, British Columbia, Canada. With the addition of drummer Patrick Paszana, known to fans as "Wolfman Pat", and bassist Kelly Macauley, the band released its untitled, nine-track album in 1994. Due to personal differences, Kelly was replaced by Jamie Fawkes and in 1995 Gob released Too Late... No Friends. The album was a major breakthrough and saw the band earn a large following due to their unique videos, constant touring and their frenetic live performances. Shortly after releasing their first album, Gob released another limited-edition Green Beans and Almonds 7-inch containing four songs. After allegedly abandoning the band mid-tour, leaving Gob to play the remaining dates as a three-piece, Fawkes was asked to leave and was temporarily replaced by Happy Kreter, a friend of the band, until a permanent replacement was found in Craig Wood. In 1997, a 7-inch Gob/The McRackins split release entitled Has Fil Flipped? was pressed, along with Ass Seen on TV, a Gob/Another Joe split release. Late 1990s As Gob begun work on their second album, Pat had a daughter and decided to leave the band to spend time with his family. Gabe Mantle (formerly of Vancouver hardcore band Brand New Unit) took over on drums, and the band recorded How Far Shallow Takes You. The album had a darker, more personal tone and had a heavier sound than Gob had produced in the past. The album sold well in Canada, and the band obtained a strong loyal fan-base. Singles from the album included "Beauville" and their first single, "What To Do". The video for "What To Do" was directed by Jason Priestly,and featured Terry David Mulligan. Gob covered The Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black", which was featured in the film, Stir of Echoes starring Kevin Bacon and can be heard in the 2004 miniseries Salem’s Lot. Their song Self-Appointed Leader, was also used in the wrestling documentary Hitman Hart: Wrestling with Shadows, and appears on the soundtrack released for that movie as well. 2000-present The band released World According to Gob, in 2001. This album was Gob's most successful album to date. The sound took a slight departure from their early punk rock sound and displayed growth in their songwriting and in their musicianship. Singles released from WATG include "For The Moment", "I Hear You Calling", and "No Regrets". In 2002, Gob recorded the F.U. EP. "Ming Tran" was released as a single for the EP which also featured a re-recorded version of a classic Gob song "Soda", 2 exclusive tracks, "L.A Song" and "Sick With You," as well as new tracks from the forthcoming full-length album Foot in Mouth Disease, which was released on Arista Records in April 2003. Singles from Foot in Mouth Disease include "Give Up the Grudge" and "Oh! Ellin". In 2004, longtime bassist Wood left the band to play guitar for Canadian superstar Avril Lavigne. The band have since recruited a bassist known only to fans as "Peter Pan" or, more commonly, Tyson, as Gob's members are on a 'first-name basis' with their fans. (All albums credit the musicians simply by their first names, as well.) Gob's friendship with several Canadian bands has come up often in the past few years. Cone of Sum 41 has filled in on bass for some Gob live shows since Craig Wood's departure. During Gob's downtime, Tom Thacker has played guitar for Sum 41 live since the departure of their guitarist, Dave Baksh.. The latest album, "Muertos Vivos", was released on Cobraside November 27, 2007 in the U.S. and was released in Canada on Aquarius Records October 23. They recruited Tyson Maiko as their bassi
