Great band. Even better live. 3 distinctly different singers. Very good music. Anyone like em, seen em.

    really liked their first two albums but after that they kind of lost it for me especially when they stopped using their strength: the bluegrass-type of sound they do so well!! a shame!! well and they do tend to kind of repeat themselves... really sad!!

    saw them once in my hometown (luxembourg) like 30 people showed up but they do played a great gig!! even gave an encore for the 20 that were still there at the end..

    I actually saw them last night. I had never heard of them before. They were ok. I got to meet them and they seemed nice. I am on a big My Morning Jacket kick right now and they just don't compare.

    Love them! Saw them at the Sasquatch Festival and they blew me away. "How We Operate" was one of my top 10 favorite records of '06.
    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    -Tom Waits

    I'm a big gomez fan too. I was listening to the song "Miles End" last night.
    Pick up my debut novel here on amazon: Jonny Bails Floatin (in paperback) (also available on Kindle for $2.99)

    Gomez Are Your Friends

    Great band; just got into them earlier this year with "How We Operate". Now I have most of their CD's and saw them live in October.

    Actually, I think they come pretty close to MMJ. MMJ and Gomez were my top two concerts in 2006.
