Coolest MySPACE Site, Gaviotas

Just when you thought you'd seen it all, along comes some wit. On their MY SPACE site, San Francisco alternative band Gaviotas have a page for enemies including the likes of Iraqi-hunter George Bush and senior citizen hunter, Dick Cheney, Gavin Newsom and Gary Coleman. Nice job, boys.

Gaviotas Unite! A Change Is Going To Come CD/EP:

No-nonsense, super-catchy punk songs with mega-brutal guitar sounds. It grabs you by the balls and the songs will stick in your head forever.

Stinky no more What's it like growing up rock? Ask XBXRX, or Gaviotas's Simon Timony, who had his share of alterna-cool attention at a very young age: The 22-year-old San Franciscan led the Stinkypuffs which included his onetime stepfather Jad Fair of Half Japanese, his mother Sheenah Fair, Gumball's Don Fleming, and Lee Ranaldo's son Cody Linn Ranaldo. Fronting and writing for the most notable child-centered super-group of the early-90s alt-rock scene, Timony learned guitar from family friend Snakefinger, was home-schooled by his parents, who ran Ralph Records (his father Tom was in the Residents), and eventually befriended Nirvana when Half Japanese opened for them during the In Utero tour. I was actually trusted to go wake up Kurt before a show, Timony says wonderingly today.

After notably performing with Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl, together for the first time after Cobains suicide, at the 1994 Yo Yo a Go Go fest in Olympia, Wash., Timony grew disillusioned with music at around age 13. But he picked up his moldy guitar again after discovering Korn and now hes making Gaviotas his full-time job. He performs at a suicide-prevention benefit May 31. My dad and my mom were, like, If this is what you want to do ..., Timony explains. As long as you dont suck! My dad is a very honest person too honest sometimes.

Buy the CD here--->Buy it or else


GAVIOTAS is a highly dedicated and energetic group of rock musicians from San Francisco, CA. Simon Timony (lead vocals / guitar / songwriting) Rafael Corral aka...TRE' (bass / vocals) and Armando Melendez (drums) have taken the 'all or nothing' plunge of pursuing the American rock music dream through socially conscious, heavy, yet hook-laden tunes.
GAVIOTAS are currently promoting their 4-song E.P. 'Unite!' ; produced by Eric Feldman (P.J. Harvey, Pixies' Frank Black, Captain Beefheart). To get people out to shows they take an innovative approach to making new fans and selling CD's; peddling the album on the streets of San Francisco guerilla style, while collecting e-mails and phone numbers (a tactic Simon learned while working on local, grassroots political campaigns).
GAVIOTAS could be described as accessible punk/metal with the hooks, drifting around pop, experimental and dub, while always staying true to their one unique sound. Influences include: Radiohead, Slipknot, Nirvana, The Clash, The Residents (Simon's Godfathers' band), The Mars Volta, fellow San Franciscans Metallica, Gershwin (George) and especially J.S. Bach. "Even though Mozart was the rock star, Bach wrote the best songs," Simon says.

-THE MEMBERS-

*Simon Timony *the leader / cute guy type* has been around music his entire life. His parents ran an independent record company in The City during the 80's and his earliest memories of being around late night studio sessions and learning guitar (left handed) from friend/mentor, musician Snakefinger. In the early 90's, the family became friends with the Nirvana crew (yes that Nirvana). Simon, at age 10, befriended and mentored by Kurdt Cobain, was a constant witness to countless shows from stage-side; becoming inspired again to pick up the guitar himself (right handed this time) and has played ever since. His former band The Stinky Puffs (which included Cody, son of Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo) was the only group to play with Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic post <B>Kurdt . If Simon was a drink, he would be green tea (hot, of course)!

*Rafael 'Tre' Corral* the big brother / funny guy type* has played bass for 16 years. Playing in various bands in the Santa Barbara scene, he moved to San Francisco with his band, The Cheshire Jones, in the late 90's. After the band dissolved, 'Tre' stayed in The City eventually meeting Simon. They have been best friends ever since. If Tre was a drink, he would be grape drink (not grape juice).

*Mando Melendez*................

we play so loud we make you crap yo pants

GAVIOTAS takes their name from the Colombian village 'GAVIOTAS ' whose inhabitants dedicate themselves to creating some of the most ultra efficient alternative energy sources in the world.

For over thirty years scientists, engineers, artisans and ex-street kids have made sustainable development and appropriate technology real in a place called GAVIOTAS.

Wrenched from ecological disaster and great political turbulence, this miracle of social and environmental hope has achieved peace, prosperity and the regeneration of an ancient rain forest.

Sixteen hours from the nearest major city, Gaviotas villagers have invented ultra efficient methods of harnessing natural renewable energy sources; such as wind turbines, solar collectors and soil-free systems for medicinal and edible crops.

The United Nations has named the village a model for the developing world;
a village to re-invent the world.

Each inhabitant of Gaviotas plays a musical instrument.
