About Me

GYLBOTS (Get Your Lazy Butt Off The Sofa) has been bringing their blend of street rock and roll and traditional Jamaican sounds to the Twin Cities since 2002. Blending neither and compromising nothing, GYLBOTS provide a fresh kick in the teeth in the muddied sea of castrated reggae and punk. Learn to expect the unexpected live--anything from a heavy reggae set to a 6-minute-4-song rock and roll snarl can happen. GYLBOTS have self-released 4 albums to date, the most recent being 2006's "Rude and Pissed." A triumphant follow up is in the works.Keep on stompin'
