Gaylord:
What’s In A Name?
If the name of the game is charm, then
Rochester’s Gaylord win. Not only have they
chosen a word that I haven’t heard since third
grade for a band name—unless you count in
Meet The Parents, which I don’t—but their
music also has a unique quirkiness to match.
Touching on punk, metal, jazz, funk and surf
rock stylistically, it might just be what Mr.Bungle
might have been if they’d had a little soul.
Propelled by the guitars of Core Atoms and
the ferocious jazz drumming of Andrew
Verstraete, not to mention the bass/vocal work
of Jeff Steverson, the trio are a three-man
mobile party unit, the kind of act you’d see
rocking out in PCU if it were made today and
George Clinton couldn’t do it for whatever
reason.
Those who shoot over to their MySpace will
be treated to an exceptional, siren-laced jam
cover of The Doors’“Light My Fire,” the first
such cover I’ve heard to give the song the
treatment it truly deserves. They’ve got tour
dates lined up through March, including dates
at South By Southwest in Austin, TX, but so
far nothing in our area. To tide yourself over,
you can head to cdbaby.com and pick up the
latest record, Tsunami. Consider it highly
recommended.

When people talk about the music of dreams, they're usually talking about what they wish dreams sounded like --- all light and airy and full of butterflies. The reality is dreams sound like Gaylord: manic, weird, pleasant, funny, making little or lots of sense simultaneously. Simply put, these guys are plugged in to what's what and are pure genius.

A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store, but couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked the stock boy, 'Do these turkeys get any bigger?'
