About Me

Buddha Witha Gun started in 2000, with Matty "The Roach" Keebler on drums. A brief period in 2002 saw Father Sean O'Darby take over the drum role, until Keebler returned.

In April of 2007, the band released their full-length debut, "La Cima De La Montana" at a CD release party at Flagstaff Brewing Company. Matty Keebler was never seen again after that evening.
Now, over a year later, Buddha Witha Gun has secured the services of veteran drummer Sebastian D. Gilcrisp IV and guitarist/computer wizard/political firebrand Olaf Rotkohl. (Punk legend Brent Turner has been made official mascot and pot pie chef). With renewed vigor, the band is working on its sophmore album, tentatively titled "This Ain't No Vegan Bake Sale," and gearing up for the World's Smallest Southwest United States Tour.

BWG would like to thank Joel at Homebrew Electronics of Phoenix, AZ for all of his help, and Penguin Mints for the bitchin' tube socks and mountains of caffeinated mints.
