The best rock band you’ve probably never heard of….Gomez. British group had a string of excellent releases in the early oughts. The band never hit it big though they did appear on some soundtracks and toured the states several times. If I remember right, the band had three singers, but the core of Ben and Ian graced FTC. Slim, “post” pandemic crowd on this Saturday night. The boys start with a rousing title track of How We Operate. Two guys, guitars, a laptop looper and their voices. Some groupies in the audience know the lyrics better than Ian and Ben. They play some solo tunes, some tunes on the next Gomez record although there are clearly some band allegiance issues that might derail the Gomez future. They cheekily came up with a song Selena, billed as a search engine destroyer. Great version of Whipping Piccadilly and We haven’t Turned Around. Encores with Tijuana Lady. Gomez’ live recording Way Out West gets frequent play in my home.
