The Gobblers Knob

As I stated last week,  Nashville Rockers Ned Van Go came and played some gigs in Dallas.  I caught their in-store at Bill’s Records & Tapes and consider my ass rocked!  Most in-store performances are unplugged, and in the case of a band, you might get a couple of acoustic guitars with a single snare to keep time.  This spartan arrangement was not the case as NVG unpacked the whole trailer, plugged in, turned it all up to 11 and shook the still new walls of Bill’s newest location with racous, jangly and funkified country rock.  They featured mainly songs from their latest release, Married a Waitress, and ended their pre-drive to Nashville set with a punk-rock version of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” that would’ve made the Ramones proud and wishing they had recorded a holiday album themselves.  The guys announced that they will be making another Texas swing in March, so please learn up on these guys and then show up. Below is the video I took of the glorious occasion….
