What do they say about GANG?
"What'll you uncover if you dig a hole to China? GANG's "Rat Poison" has the answer. But you've gotta think in metaphors. And listen closely. And understand Italian. That's a lot of work, and every time I get close to the answer, I'm too busy dancing my ass off to care."
~~ City Paper (Philadelphia), 11/07"The album packs enough energy to power the outfield lights of Citizen's Bank Park through the twilight hours of a fifteen-inning game."
~~ The Triange (Drexel University), 10/07"Their tales of astronauts and bridges that went "blah blah blah" all sounded heavenly."
~~ Philadelphia Inquirer, 09/07"Rat Poison should have been the theme to Rocky Balboa- 10 out of 10."
~~CD Times (UK), 04/07"GANG is part science class, part art project, part dance party."
~~City Paper (Philadelphia), 03/07"Between unpretentious production and sexy-silly bon mots, GANG deliver a hyper, horny dance floor summons you'll actually want to obey."
~~Philadelphia Weekly, 03/07"Ok, it's simple. GANG's music, and "Past, Present, Future" in particular, is what Klaus Nomi would have sounded like if he was a 4 piece band, featuring 2 blonde haired girls, 1 brunette and a dude guy on drums."
