The Gories

This here’s the Gories from Detroit, hot off the press.
It’s gonna jump on you baby, and it’s gonna stay in your dress.
Here it comes!

From the late ’80’s to the early ’90’s, The Gories blasted people away with their brand of off-kilter punk/rock/garage/soul/blues. With the line-up of Mick Collins (lead guit-box/vox), Dan Kroha (rhythm guit-box/vox) and Margaret Ann “Peggy” O’Neill (cave stomp drums), this band not only rocked the house, they rocked the alleys, the trashcans, the bathrooms and the streets. This is the real deal, folks. Rock ‘n’ Roll played the way it was meant to be played, all raggedy assed, loud and raw.

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), they only released three LP’s and a handful of singles before internal frictions got the best of them.

    Lordy, I love the Gories. “I Think I’ve Had It” is one of my faves, but the greatest song they ever did was their cover of “There But for the Grace of God Go I.” Scorching.

    Gosh darnit!

    I accidently deleted a comment here. My apologies, but there’s so much spam that I have to delete that my eyes glaze over and sometimes delete legitimate comments.

    Sorry.

    Otto Man -
    i don’t think i’ve ever heard “There But For The Grace Of God Go I”. but i’ll definitely have to track it down. But definitely The Gories are to be loved.

    It’s on the “Outta Here” album. Definitely worth digging up. And digging.
