GBVO is comprised of Action Man, Bruiser (not pictured - still MIA, sorry), Soapy and Weasel. The Perfesser, another GBVO member (who does not appear on these recordings), sometimes plays the role of "chief irritant."
GBVO was aborted from the Ann Arbor, MI and Columbus, OH rock scenes in the mid-1980s. Members ended up in Boston, MA of all places and desperately tried to make sense of the strange jam they found themselves in by strangely jamming.
This is truly music for hardcore suckers. We're sure that you'll enjoy it.
With heartfelt crusty vocals reminiscent of Captain Beefheart,and always engaging musical accompaniment, BGVO captures the exciting spirit of experimentation, rebellion and freedom as they felt it having wound up in Boston in the 80`s the work rolls into full gear with the 3rd track and stump the trooper finshes things off with a bang. it finding stuff like this that makes Jamendo such an amazing venue!
Old Fashioned music. But the recording quality is not good, this is the only problem. Good vocals, great idea. It will take time for youngsters to digest it !
The main strenght of this album is strange but interesting words, and also that gritty and dirty boem voice gives it a special charm. A very interesting piece of experiment.
