"Mike Zirkel The Album" is available on iTunes, at CD Baby and at B-Side Records on State Street and Madcity Music in the Gateway Mall in Madison. The Gomers reside online at www.thegomers.net. The album is named after engineer Mike Zirkel of Smart Studios. Mike engineered The Gomers previous album, but the band failed to credit him. Naming the next album after him was the least they could do, despite the fact that Mr. Zirkel did not engineer the album named after him.

At ROCKSTAR GOMEROKE, the Gomers become any one of thousands of bands... From Alanis to Led Zeppelin, Bowie to Beatles, Pink Floyd to King Crimson, Ween to Tenacious D to AC/DC to Zappa to Madonna to Elvis to Van Halen to Motorhead to Buddy Holly to Dio to CCR to BTO to ELP to REO to the Rolling Stones to James Brown to Grand Funk Railroad to the Who to Jerry Lee Lewis to Sam Cooke to Talking Heads to Janis Joplin - they pretty much play 'em all and YOU get to drive 'em like a fine-tuned jaguar of rock! Every Tuesday night at the High Noon Saloon in Madison, plus the first & third Fridays at Happy hour. Not only is it fun to ROCK but it's fun to watch others get their Rockstar on. You can't tell a Karaoke machine to 'play it in G and in dancehall reggae style' - but you can at Gomeroke! Great for birthday parties, corporate meetings, prom night - every show is customizable with over 2500 songs to choose from.
"One of the best bands I ever saw, a legendary and inestimably important band, but more than that. Not so much a band as - well, more like a squad of gods. A God Squad. A full-on, balls-out God Squad of Rock."
I had so much fun on Tuesday singing "Welcome to the Machine!!!!" I knew you would do awesome things with it. When I've played it with my band before, we've used a flour sifter, and other kitchen tools to make strange noises... but you guys make terrific weird noises without flour sifters!!! I would be ever so flattered, if you wanted to come check us out this Saturday at Escape at 8:00. No flour sifters, unfortunately...
Hey, I really mean it. When are you guys coming to the Tampa area. You could crash on my moms couch. I'm sure she wouldn't mind. You'd get used to the cabbage smell. It's not that bad, really.
excellent cd release party- i stayed awake the whole time and barely fell over. eric says dvd's of the show may become available at the nextrockstaroke.
I wish that you still had that "Head Rush" cut on here... My friend who is in the Peace Corps in Albania and who is a huge Rush fan really wanted to hear it. You guys rock, by the way.
Rock on you mammie jammies.....Yeah, this tour Eugene and Jimmy stayed with me a couple of days, too bad we didnt hook up then, we could have enjoyed the small world thing in real time.
