Just last week, GF veterans stopped into the studio and produced the latest single for The Ice Creams. It’s a cherry cheerful-chang along, with no time at all to explain all that needs to be explained, there’s 1000 things I want to say to you. Go enjoy this pre-mono-trix-mix and hopefully we’ll get this squeezed onto the upcoming Ice Creams Gypsy WAX..LOOKOWTNOW.
Listen, Share and Download “You Ought To Know” by The Ice Creams :
Here at GF, We’ve been tickling the musical catalog of Athens’ HAM1 for well over the past year.  Although the band is now defunct and no longer together, they’ve left behind countless capsules that shall not cease to be re-discovered as time grows into future.  “WHITE RAT” is one tune especially charming to the emotional ear, plucked directly from  “The Captain’s Table” record  (2007 / Orange Twin Records).  It grooves, prooves and mooves your thought process; alarming the mellow moods that your mind has stored away for the day.  Take it in, catch the HAM1 Review that our own Zeb Garrison posted earlier this year and CUT YOUR TEETH on their new incarnation around town, known as OLD SMOKEY.

GF artist, “UNCLE GOO” will be performing on Waylin’s Pub this evening and broadcast on West Georgia’s “THE WOLF” internet radio station and judging by the amount of burbon bottles left in Goo’s dressing room (and charged to GF, no doubt), we expect a lively performance and our hearts go out to Waylin. Â Catch UNCLE GOO tonight at 8pm/9pm by listening live via this LINK.
Check out UNCLE GOO’s top GF recording for the “Country Strange” genre, titled “Watered Down Whiskey” below :
Stay TOONED for further recordings from this southern gem.
This is a record called “Castlemania” by a San-Fran band called “Thee Oh Sees”.  It was released in May 2011 by IN THE RED. There’s a tune on it called “Stinking Cloud” and it is utterly BEWTIFUL.  Perhaps this is the lost tape from that time The Trashmen took acid.  The vinyl version features 2 LPs, although the album is only 3-sided, but the 4th side is a REALLY COOL etching that includes that tag line from this song. “We’re Dead, Dead, Dead as I’ve Already Said!”  Catch Thee Oh Sees in ATLANTA, GA with TY SEGALL next month at THE GOAT FARM on SEPTEMBER 18th
Athens’ own trio of chaos curators are at it again, THE RODNEY KINGS are making their voyage back to GF studio to cut two sides of pure poppin punk for our next issue release #GF004 – The Rodney Kings / IRENE 7-INCH. Â Sometime earlier this month, GF Armed guards hand-delivered the official MASTERS to the pressing plant and we are currently awaiting approval of the test prints. Check and share the song “IRENE” below and watch the video of the Kings at work in the Gypsy Studio, kindly brought to you by GF film man Sir Stephen. Â STAY TOONED for details***
Recorded from 2008 through 2012, this new release is slabbed with prime cuts straight from the GF vault of Garage RAWK, Scooby Pop and Poppin’ Punk.  It is an 11-track Compilation featuring The Humms, The Rodney Kings, These Magnificent Tapeworms, The Ice Creams, Uncle Skunkle and Ghost Lights.
