   About WD-40
- As Written in the 2006 issue of TOP OF THE ROCKIES by The Rocky Mountain News: ------ "From the bourbon-with-a-PBR-chaser soaked vocals of Gary Germaine to Sean Sweeneys rollicking bass and Chris McElvains understated, steady time, WD40s stomping country rock and tongue-in-cheek lyrics translate to recording with as much alacrity as their live show imparts. Youll have to see them live to appreciate their Hee-Hawfashion sense. The bands moniker is well-deserved: Theyre an Americana lubricant unmatched in the Mile High." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Venue's performed in The Denver area in 2006-2007: The Bluebird Theatre, Herman's Hideaway, The 3 Kings Tavern, The Larimer Lounge, Cricket On The Hill, The Oriental Theater, Benders Tavern, The Toad Tavern, The 12 Volt Tavern, Aspen Mountain, and more.
