"After fifty years of American bands that sound English, Gooblar's a London band that play a very USA pop-rock. Someone will need to grow some cornfields along Oxford Street, sell hotdogs at Picadilly Circus, and then invite Gooblar to rock out on a roof. "Twentieth Century" is about missing the 20th C. It has handclaps, "oohs", a singalong chorus, & an unstoppable sense of fun. Every rhyme's right-on, every guitar-riff like that little push when you jump on your bike. . . . It's pure apple-and-chrome hooray."
(Said the Gramophone)
"These guys have a smirky, amusing slant on things, and a crunchy sound that would go well in a hardcore salad dish. The excellent 'Uh Oh' in particular sounds like Frank Black fronting a deranged Weezer, and deserves to be playlisted at all the summer barbeques this summer!"

Hi there Gooblar, hope the capital/bumblingboris is treating you well, thanking you muchly for being my (our) friend.
I hope you enjoyed our tunes, I thought you might do judging by the stuff you seem to be into like - if you fancy a couple of our mp3s for you ipod/nonbrandedmp3 player then just ping me your email address back for our mailing list (info about gigs and the like) OR just click here on these here words and I'll sort that out for you, probably in the next couple of days.
We've not any gigs for a bit, until about September I think but we will most likely play the Metro Club on Tot Crt Rd if you know it ? Forgive the indulgence but I've just worked out how to do this so i'm gonna put it in here - its a video of us playing one of the songs we would send to you live @ Bull and Gate last month just to show you what it may be like (err ok stu) hope thats ok :)
EYES Cosmic sensory overload of electro/R&B/pop/outsider free jazz worship! Totally good, totally label mates of Xiu Xiu and totally from Chicago, USA.
SKITANJA Highly melodic psychedelic no-holds barred punk and noise on fuzz guitar, trumpet, manic keyboard and insane pre-recorded tracks from Bournemouth.
PFAFF The ultimate one man band. Pfaff plays guitar, drums, bass and sings. He does everything and now he'll be doing it for you.
