I regret to say that I had never heard of this band until this past weekend at the Oak Barrel Blues Festival. You guys STOLE THE SHOW! Best live band by far that I have heard in a long time. Love your energy, fun, interaction with your audience and musical talent. I can't wait to have the opportunity to see Gas House Gorillas again!

Saw you guys open for one of my favorite bands, The Blasters, last night at Gypsy Sally's and now you are another one of my favorite bands. Y'all rocked the house. Come back soon.

Once in a while I am lucky enough to find a real band that knows how to rock. Tonight was one of those nights. Having suffered through what passes for music on mainstream radio for years these guys restored my faith that there are still great music and bands even in 2014. Guys thank you for a great show. See you next time.
