President Gas is a New Zealand band exploring the limits of "three chords and the truth" - on that elusive search for the perfect song. So much of what we hear today is manufactured. President Gas is the real deal.
President Gas is Scott Wylie, Paul Lee, Barry White (not that one!) and Ben White. These guys have played together in some seminal Wellington bands (Shadow Fax, Tokyo, Secret Egypt) and incarnations over the years.
Now all returned to Wellington they have formed President Gas. The band was, initially, just some fun. A chance to get together and jam a few select covers, let off some steam. But as always, the idea of doing something original soon surfaced.
It is, quite deliberately, no-nonsense guitar rock. Keeping it simple.
For those younger folks among you the band is named after an old song by 80's band the Psychedelic Furs that the band covers from time to time - a great song with a monster guitar riff!
The band has just released their second album "Sound on Sound" in July 2007. See some sneak preview videos below.
