..::: BLURB :::..
Gummi Bako have been cranking up their outhouse rock for as long
as they care to remember. Raised on a high-sugar diet of Carry On
films and the Muppets
with a firm foundation in wonkytonk, country
and gospel, it's no surprise that they ended up spanking their planks in a most
inimitable fashion.
In between swanning around and goofing about, they've performed
at Bestival, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Pittenweem Arts Festival,
Leith
Festival,
Spitz
Festival
of Folk,
The Big Tent
at Falkland Palace and of course Fence's annual Home Game Festival.
As long-standing members of Fife's Fence Collective they've featured
on a multitude of Fence records (including "Fence Reunited" and "Let's
get this ship on the road"); and even had their songs covered
by fellow fencers King Creosote and James Yorkston. In 2006 they released their
first collection of homespun mellodaze on their mini-album "Sticky
Wicket".
Their latest release is a 7" split single with Edinburgh rage
rawkers Come In Tokyo. Having
served
their apprenticeships
under the Fence Collective banner, the bands hatched a plan to avoid
being mistakenly tarred with the same alt-folk brush as Fence's leading
lights. In the great independent D.I.Y. tradition, they decided to
do it themselves! The limited edition 7" vinyl record features
all-new band recordings and has been released by upstart
Anstruther label Nekkid
Rekkids… no frills, just thrills!
