   About THE WILD GONERS
French combo created in 1994 by 4 friends from Bourges, France : Olivier, Lead Vocal & Rhythm Guitar – Freddy, Lead Guitar – Laurent, Upright Bass – Pascal ( and then David ), Drums. In the first two years they played all over France in clubs and halls where they met a great success. Then in 1997 came the time of bigger gigs and stages in Switzerland, Spain and Belgium, joining other bands for some festivals, and in France their first appearance with original 50’s American artists such as Sonny Burgess and DJ Fontana. 1997 was also the year that saw them have their first record, a single made in France with a self-penned B side “Rock Along” that flew high like a rocket ! During 1998, they started to play more in Europe, and had their first Tour through countries like Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and all the way up to Norway. On their way to the Great North, they were invited to record sessions at Tail Records Studio in Sweden where Lars Trandheim, owner of the famous Rockabilly label, decided to make a LP with their sessions : “Face the Space”. With a first 10 inch album in their luggage and 2 great hits records “ Honky Tonk Baby” and above all “Space Rocket Bop”, they followed their way to Rock’n’Roll Fame. Playing all over Europe and doing the promotion of their album wouldn’t have been completed if not playing in England where Rock’n’Roll is a must for every rocking band. By 1999, they would do so by appearing at the biggest Rockin’ festival at the time in Europe : Hemsby Rock’n’Roll Weekender. They had such a great success there that the organization of the other biggest British Festival, the Rockabilly Rave, decided to book them the same year to close their November session ! By the end of 1999 and Beginning of this new century 2000, they put out a new album on Tail Records entitled : “No doubt it’s Rockin’ “. This 2nd LP also received a great welcome and allowed them again to play all over Europe. New tours were taking them from France, across the channel to London, then Spain for the 2 biggest festivals, High Rockabilly in Barcelona & Rockin’ Race Jamboree in Malaga, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Sweden,…They also had the opportunity to play with great stars from the 50’s like Narvel Felts, Glen Glenn, Hayden Thompson or Billy Lee Riley…. In the beginning of 2001, they decided to play a bit more in France where demands were important, and settled a bit to prepare their 3rd album. In the fall of that year, they started a new tour in Europe through countries like Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy. They went up once again to Sweden and Tail Records to start new sessions for a 3rd LP. But unfortunately, it would never be finished as Olivier, the lead singer, move to Canada in 2002. Now in 2007, after a 5 year separation, The Wild Goners are back in the Rockabilly Scene as their lead singer is back in Europe for good this time ! A compilation of all their recordings, including songs that were recorded for the 3rd LP and never issued before, is now available since September 2007 on Sleazy Records. Tours and gigs all over Europe are planned for 2008 to promote this new album, and also a brand new EP that is available now since June 2008 on Sleazy Record. They are already booked for big festivals as the Rockin’ Race Jamboree in Spain, and the Rockabilly Rave in England, the Bedrock Weekend in Denmark, and gigs in Holland, Germany, Italy, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden… You will then have the chance to catch somewhere one of the greatest Rockabilly band of the 90’s. So now join the spot and enjoy it all with The “WILD GONERS “ !!! S.M.

Y a trois raisons : faut bien aider les jeunes groupes qui débutent, j'aime bien le disco et puis faut bien que Freddy fasse des thunes pour payer son piège sur roue
