The Gecko Brothers rock like a powerhouse on fire with Godzilla pissing gasoline down the smokestacks.
For those not in the know about real music, here's the deal: a gap the size of the Grand Canyon has grown between straight-shooting outlaw country and gun-shy mainstream country. The Gecko style hails the attitude of the first: this band delivers brass-knuckle OUTLAW ROCK & ROLL. Send it through the airwaves and blue skies will blacken, soon followed by a supernatural rainstorm of beer.
Still don't get it? Well, sharing stages with the likes of Nashville Pussy, Zeke and Mad Sin might ring a bell. Just imagine Lemmy as conductor, the Supersuckers providing the hats and Gang Green taking care of the alcohol.
The crackerjack culprits of all this sonic glory are four Dutch southerners from Breda Suckcity.
First off is Mo Gecko, whose vocals roar like he's grinding his teeth on a dozen broken whiskey bottles while crashing a hot rod bulldozer with Poison Idea punkin' on the stereo.
Then there's the vaginatarian smegma enigma: Eric Gecko on guitar. His six string hammering gives the Gecko's that distinctive sound, even though in the 6th dimension he's the standup bass player for psychobilly legends Batmobile. Go figure!
The beastie boyslayer on bass is T.H. Gecko, laying down the law in the low end like only a redneck hippie can with 20 cans of 5 percent in the can.
His rhythm brother from another mother is heavy-weight Mr. J. Gecko, sporting feet of steel for that relentless kick-drum assault and hands like coal shovels to hit the lights out of whatever comes his way.
Smear these skills on tracks that bite like moonshine tequila, and the upshot is an orangoutang boogie that will have King Kong shittin' bricks. Butt! Unlike many Bonobo-musicians, The Gecko Brothers definitely don't want to save the planet. Mother Earth shall take care of herself in good time, so let's heat the bitch up!
Meanwhile shout out salutes to wild binges and wanton women. Not to mention hard liquor from ladies of leisure. And of course fighting those hangovers, courtesy of drinkpimpin' damsels.
Get in gear and pick up speed to join the party for a joyride from dusk till dawn with The Gecko Brothers. On probation from Satan and spit on by angels, it's a goddamn blast from the gutter to El Ray!

Allejezus man, 13 uur is wel een beetje vroeg hoor, zo op zondag... Werd pas wakker toen de fotograaf zijn koffer alweer had ingepakt, denk ik zo... Je moet nu dus toch Loek maar op me afsturen ;-) Komt er nog een herkansing?
