Go Wank The Broom

A grab-bag of ROCK n' ROLL!

About Me

Reviews:
Show 6-4-08 (opening for Local H at The Canyon Club)
"The first band Go Wank The Broom offered the fans a nice slice of their power punk. I dug them and "THE MUSIC". They kept up the sly humor on a great version of "GAY BAR". The band retained the fun as they finished up with "SYSTEMATIC" and "BALLS". I would have to say that Go Wank The Broom was a very pleasant surprise."

One small step for us,
One giant leap for Rock.
One day, way back in the past, back in the day where the music scene was being run by cry babies who slit their wrists and adults who are still mad at their parents, emerged two lone rangers, Wank and Danger Wizard! These two men were sick of all the nonsense and decided there was only one thing they could do... they were going to build an empire of ROCK!!! With guitar and bass in hand they jammed on and off, sharpening their skills for one day they knew that they would have to do battle, but something was missing, they needed a third man, a man who could help them on their battle to ROCKDOM, but where could they find such a man?
After countless days of searching they came across a young lad that went by the name of The Broom. They found him in a dark hole crying out lyrics to Dashboard and putting on make up, they quickly grabbed this boy and told him that he could live a life of happiness, a life of joy, a life of clothes that actually fit him! The young man pondered this thought and asked how to obtain such a life. Wank and Danger Wizard both looked at him and told him that the only way to obtain true happiness is by ROCKING OUT!!! so from that day forth This unnamed trio shook the house (or the garage) as hard as they could, until one day, Danger Wizard left his home land and moved along for a time, leaving the duo to fall behind and never practice again.....
That was until later that year our kingdom was having a battle of the bands, Wank and The Broom decided that maybe they needed to join forces once again to see what kind of magic they could stir up. Two guitarists, thats all. They ended up getting in to the show but were shortly told afterwards they needed a full band to stay in. A ninja over heard this conversation and came flying down from the sky and introduced himself as "Go" Jose! He had never played before but he said he had a bass, thats all we needed to hear. With Wank's super natural music powers he taught good ol "Go" all of the bass parts from our songs. Pretty soon we were a trio again, but still unnamed. After talking for a long time we decided to combine our nicknames. When we wrote it down we all let out a childish giggle and decided that Go Wank The Broom was perfect in everyway. Now 3 days until the final performance, the battle Wank and The Broom had been training for so long was just upon us, and then they were told they needed a drummer...
This seemed like an impossible task, but thanks again to Wank's super powers he found them one of the greatest and most hard rocking drummers ever! Mr. Ryan T ("Arty" for short). Sadly his name didn't fit well with the already set band name, but he didn't care, he was just all about the rock! Three days before the show and this brave knight learns the songs, makes up drum parts and they ended up rocking the house. Third place baby!!!! Now Go Wank The Broom is a true underdog band, and I am happy to report they are having a blast doing so!!!!!! That was until on one fateful night, Go was killed in a terrible ninja fight, leaving us bass-less once again, but as hopes had begun to fall short Danger Wizard appeared from the clouds brandishing his bass and said "Fear not, for I hath returned to ROCK!" Just as things had begun to settle Broom, DW, and Wank had begun to notice something terribly wrong with ARTY. He was MIA and we could not seem to reach him from his other kingdom, until we heard the terrible news. Arty had been slain by a dragon! We all wept and moaned wishing it had not been true but alas there was no bringing him back, but again with some strange luck and a little bit of magic, a strapping young lad was found. Unfortunately, he didn't know how to play the drums, but as luck would have it we happened to run afoul of Slater! He DID know how to play the drums! For a while these momentous monsters of Rock sheltered themselves from the outside world for months practicing, waiting for the right moment to burst onto the local music scene. When they finally did they were regaled with praise from all who dared watch there performance. They have had multiple outings into the Rock foray thus far and have been nothing but successful.
Unfortunately, they will now have to be a trio of Rock Monsters because The Broom has left the group to travel to a faraway land to learn the secret arts. Whilst the other three have grown accustomed to the sad loss of an important part of their sound they have continued their Quest to bring Rock to the people of this land! Still playing shows, they are also in the very slow process of recording one of the most mugical albums you've ever heard! Once it's done we will hit you and hit you hard with it, and once you've recovered you'll buy multiple copies and tell all your friends and enemies! In the meanwhile though just keep checking back for the occasional update!

We've had many members come and go in this band and each one seems to make our name make even less sense. It is official now that "The Broom" is no longer in the band. I am writing this so that ...
