Everybody needs somebody to love, even for just one night. So dry your eyes and put lonely hearts aside. 'Cause Rock'N'Roll is love, and love has arrived!
In the Spotlight! On the showcase! GoodTime Gil and the Champagne Cowboys! Portland, Oregons newest 8 piece garage-tonk, rhythm and soul, punk rock'n'roll sensations!
"GoodTime" Gil Soliz/ Vocals (The Strand) Born on the dance floor and raised onstage. He comes alive under the spotlights, divined from above to spread the glorious gospel of Rock'N'Roll. Gentleman, showman, original soul. This kid stays in the picture.
Kirk "Long" Delong/ Guitar (The Viles, The Nightmares) Angus, Ace, Ronson, Keef- Move Over! There's a new guitar hero on the block and his name is "Long" Delong. So bad for so long he just can't help but do good. Thunderous virtuosity! Dazzling showmanship! Stunning good looks!
Natron/ Guitar (The Natrons, Frankfurter and the Hot Dogs) Rhythm and Blues electric slide sensation straight into your pants. Hot licks and Hot Dogs! A Bo Didley Shake, snakeskin, and glitter! Girls, don't even look at those thick, luscious locks dripping with tender possibilities. You'll only get hurt.
Brian Zipper/ Drums (New Wave Hookers) The Bhodhizatva of Beat! Khondolini on the Kick drum! Serious punk rock credentials rooted in a deep understanding of forgiveness and love. Zipper knows to his soul that only Rock'N'Roll can save the world. And we believe him!
El Presidente/ Bass (The Weaklings, Wife Stealin' Bastards) A sensitive tyrant with good taste in friends and a sick Rock'n'Roll fascination. Rules from a compound in deep SouthEast, half in the bag, convinced Sam and Dave are the second (and third) comings of Christ. Hallelujah, Brother!
And Introducing The Sweet Suggestions! Emily, Amber, and Chelsea Three lovely songbirds sent to us from heaven to put evil thoughts in the minds of men and sweet suggestions into their hearts.
So join the Champagne family and have a gas. We'll spread Rock'n'Roll love and get pretty girls to dance!-GG&theCC
