Joel Sparks - EDITOR : ON TAP MAGAZINE
"Fans of the Black Crowes, Lynyrd Skynyrd and even Aerosmith will find a lot to like from this Alexandria band. With stagenames like The Hammer and Crash Fistfite, the boys play unapologetic tribute to loud guitars, centerfold babes, hard drinking and country boy life. The title track is even romantic."

LIVE REVIEWS:
April 13th Fast Eddies Fairfax, VA
Michael J. Smithsonian Esq.- Springfield News and Entertainment
What a shock it was to stroll into FE's tonite and see a room full of greasy bikers rubbing elbows with yuppies bumping into hot college chicks doing belly shots with a bunch of rowdy pool sharks at this otherwise mellow pool hall/blues room, and what a hell-uva sound coming from that power trio up on stage! The Hammer, lead singer and guitar slinger, looks like a cross between John Redcorn, Elvis and Chris Cornell. He sings like the dude from The Black Crowes and plays his guitar like Jimi Hendrix on Jack, not Acid. . These handsome boys had all the girls going wild and all the boys bopping along all night. They are the real deal. They got me wanting to "Fly Away To A New Kind Of World" with them!! Go see The Gypsy Sons locally while you still can! ASAP!
BIO:
THE GYPSY SONS are known for being a hot, hard working, powerful rock and roll machine. Their soulful blend and style with lyrics like, "I never made it on my own and we’ll never make it all alone," lives with you long after you first hear them and serves to show that this band is all about connecting with their audience. The Hammer up front on point leading the way, The King's swirling blues guitar, Goose Machette's punctuating bass lines and Crash Fistfite's 4 on the floor, creates a viceral soundscape that keeps their ever-expanding fan base coming back for more. The Gypsy Sons are gearing up to begin recording their next studio effort in September 2008. Head to iTunes and CD Baby for Gypsy Son ringtones and digital downloads and be sure to catch them live, in the bars, while you still can.
THE HAMMER - has had numerous successes with his different bands. He's been signed to major labels and has shared the stage with multi-platinum selling acts. This Virginia boy taps deep into his early childhood violin and saxophone training, to create the soulful guitar riffs and melodies that lay the groundwork for the foot stomping rockers and the sugary sweet ballads. The Hammer will rock the hell out of you and run a bubble bath for you afterwards.
GOOSE MACHETTE - is an accomplished architect, a tremendous vocalist, a superb songwriter and one helluva bass player. Yes, it's been awhile since we played with Goose and we're very happy he's back where he belongs. Crash and The Machette played together in the seminal band Olive Bones for 6 years and developed a strong chemistry which is ever present with The Gypsy Sons. Oh and just for the record, Dr. Sexy says you have a fever and the only cure is more Gypsy Sons. Bass in your face.
THE KING - started on the local Washington D.C. music scene in the mid 90's. Writing and recording 2 CD's "The Game" and "Shake These Blues," a combination of Rock and Blues influenced music. The King also has some acting credits, appearing in HBO's "The Wire" and FOX TV's "Americas Most Wanted through Lind Townsend Management. Performing locally and abroad with his band The Thin Line 'til 2004, when he partnered up with Gary Thomas to record a country record. Now he rocks balls with The Gypsy Sons. Blues Guitar Man.
CRASH FISTFITE - is a hard hitting drummer with a back beat style and superb vocal harmonies that hold down the fort. His influences are John Bonham and Charlie Watts just to name a few. Crash has played in several great bands in the States. He's toured all over the country as well as Australia. Born and raised in Alexandria, Virginia, he lived in Los Angeles for several years before coming back home to the wrong side of the tracks.
