Gummi Bako have been cranking up their outhouse rock with a wonkytonk foundation of country and gospel ever since the day they were born. In no particular order of inbreeding, Geebee, Uncle Beesly, Cheehi and Akabako kindly volunteered to dish up the delights in Gummi's soupkitchen of sound.
As long-standing members of the Fife's Fence Collective, Gummi Bako have recorded with fellow Fencers Lone Pigeon, King Creosote and UNPOC, and Bako songs have been covered by King Creosote, James Yorkston and The Pictish Trail.
Many an odd GB track has popped up on Fence Records samplers and on the Fence Collective albums "Fence Reunited" and "Let's get this ship on the road". In 2006 they released their first collection of homespun mellodaze on their mini-album "Sticky Wicket".
In the last year Gummi Bako have performed at Bestival, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Pittenweem Arts Festival, Leith Festival, Spitz Festival of Folk, The Big Tent at Falkland Palace and of course Fence's Home Game. Lock up your daughters, your sisters too, if you get in their way, they're gonna rock 'n' roll over you!
Hey there -- Cat from esperi here. We played with you in the City Cafe and I just saw this link which made me think of you. I'm wondering if you have any idea of what you had started... :-)
Hello Alan! Thank you for playing a set yesterday. It sounded great from what I heard from the cake stall! Hope you had a good afternoon. I did! See you soon. I've got easter holidays in just under a month so we should get these guitar parts done if you and Pete are up for it? Chloe x
Tonight, yes tonight, we shall get the anchor up and go and get a sling onto the May and tow it next to the Bass Rock--then sit back and see if anyone notices--if anyone objects we can always put it back--Tackety Roy
