"We got a chance to see Gaza Strip playing live at Fenderskirts. They were just one of five bands that night, but they still managed to stick out. Distorted guitars kick you back to the grunge days, but the bass player gets to do some work out side of just the root notes, which is a nice departure. The vocals can be described as the lovechild of Frank Black, Kurt Cobain, and Fred Schneider videotaping. The visual that just popped into your head might be unpleasent, but the sound Gaza Strip manages to conjur up is not. Self-described, according to their myspace profile, Rock, Alternative, Comedy, the band plays some crowd favorites such as "No Illegals=No Burritos" and "MasturbationLoveSong". For their covers, the band goes all the way back to The Doors with an amazing performance of an often overlooked would-be classic "5 and 1", as well as paying homage to another rock/comedy group with The Bloodhound Gang's "The Roof is on Fire".
The energy this band puts out is addictive, not one to shout and scream for a band, as I tend to be a quiet observer, I found my voice quite hoarse the next day. These guys know how to put on a show. "
