Government Cheese (official band site)

Hi all. Tommy says the unreleased material will be out F09 now. It has been great to hear from old Cheese Heads. My top friends include some bands and artists I enjoy so you can see influences and tastes that inspired the mahem of the Cheese. If you send a friend request and get denied please send me a message and I will send you a friend request. Sorry if I don't respond to each message. Tommy has been working on a Cheese box set sort of thing to release. If you have any live stuff of the band such as photos, songs, whatever, please let us know.GOVERNMENT CHEESE the bandWe played from 1985 through 1992. For the complete story get Tommy's hilarious book "Cheese Chronicles - The true story of a rock & roll band you've never heard of" available on his website www.tommywomack.com After an amicable break-up the Cheese would do reunion gigs for kicks if the show reason was right. The rush of the live gig is really what we all lived for. Even a great moment in rehearsal was enough to make you think "Damn, this is what its all about". There was nothing like having 5 people play and feel the song like nothing else mattered. When it happens you get a chill down your spine and a grin you can't stop. It is/was beautiful. We all had a blast touring the country in our yellow Cheese Ford Econoline. We got the chance to see some great towns, meet interesting folk, and play with some of the best bands of the day. We never hit it just right on record but our live shows were usually considered entertaining. "You going to see the Cheese tonight?" was a great thing. There are several videos on Youtube.com currently. I posted a few here. Iggy's "Search and Destroy" was put together by Billy Mac from his rolls of old Super8 film that he had in his collection from the years on the road. All the chapters of the Cheese lifespan were great fun. Check out Billy's site http://www.billymackhill.com/ and keep up with the great Tommy Womack and his whacked adventures at tommywomack.com. His rants are a joy and they are not quite appropriate for all. He has a few copies of "Cheese Chronicles" left so email him on his website for a copy. It is funny as hell. Also check out Tommy's new podcasts on his website. One listen will get you hooked. Viva is playing with Ned Van Go based in Nashville so check em out! I hope to post more songs soon once I figure this out. You can also see the band I formed after the Cheese called Geek Love Explosion under "Friends". That was a great time in my life as well. My ears are still ringing. Luckily the legendary Skip Walker had already lost his hearing fighting for this great country in Vietnam. He saw something in the band in the early days so he gave us our first fighting chance as a live act. Skip and the band say keep on rockin.
