The Gorgons

From the Land of Black gold...

About Me


The Gorgons were 4 (relatively wet) grannies from the Paris area (near Belgium).

They (still) love 50's exotica music, 60's unkown garage punk and 76' punk. Link Wray, Billy Childish, The early, early Cramps, Ramones and english Stingrays are among their favorites.

They played over 70 gigs opening for such legendary bands as Link Wray, The Raunch Hands and the english Meteors...

They now live retired in their old manors but, young man, they've been 100% killer Childish infused punk !

But who knows if, for some damn' good reason, in few weeks ... Watch out Gorgo website !...
