gospel swingers

woke up this morning to the sounds of the gospel swingers '60s mod r&b-influenced garage rawk stomp my sweetie threw on while fixing the tamales 'n' eggs and was reminded what a great band this was. i consider it a tremendous miscarriage of justice that these ppl never got the same recognition accorded to now-expired flavors o' the month like the mooney suzuki, the hives, and the white stripes, 'cos they were at least as musically meritorious 'n' entertaining as any of the above. these days, frontguy quincy holloway teaches art in the fort worth public schools, while his "other" band sub oslo still exists, albeit intermittently. bassist alex cuervo moved to austin to continue his john doe-like roots-rawk explorations with a revamped this damn town, while organist kari luna apparently didn't make the trip. drummer hank tosh has a picture-framing business, which is almost guaranteed to be more lucrative than the gospel swingers ever were.
