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 :

GYPSY FARM field reporter, ZZ RYDER sent this to our door step last week. Â He tells tall tails of GF’s third release, an upcoming show at Georgia Theatre and what really get’s his “BLOOD BOILING” Â : : : :
OO BABY SUMMER 2012! Please accept my introduction to Gypsy Farm Records’ 11-Bones-of- Blues garage album GYPSNOSIS because it is like a DRUGTRIP!! It features Athens punx The Humms, Rodney Kings, Ice Creams, along with other desolated souls who made it into the studio such as These Magnificent Tapeworms, Ghost Lights, and Uncle Skunkle. And I’m sure that every girl falls in love each time those sweet babeez hear those psychedelic hustlers The Rodney Kings hoss-howlin’ on “I Wanna Meet you”! As the first GFR album to be pressed on vinyl, these gypsy boo-nanas have climbed on up the Naked Monkey Staircase. This same rekkid will be headed all over the world, via CD and download as well. I wonder when the single track “Roller Derby Girl” could’ve even had its garagey coolness contained inside the GYPSY FARM studio, and still maintained its influence of strychnine each time you hear it —- maybe they’ve channeled Stiv Bators’ ghost. It’s so strange — way harder than grunge rock — more roots punk style. Not to mention, right now I’m remembering These Magnificent Tapeworms showing me how it’s done on multiple occasions live. Some of these recordings date back to 2008, but it’s clear that nothing’s changed there, coming out of the cloud of 2011. Continue reading “ZZ Ryder touches base with GF”
