geronimo! Three the-heart-of-rock-and-roll-is- still-beating reasons to head down to Panchos tonight... 1. The 90s were a good decade for establishing the parameters of today's indie rock scene: aggressive, yet Weezer-like in its nerdish leanings. Chicago trio Geronimo! utilize this formula well on the its 2010 LP Fuzzy Dreams and reach new impressive heights on the a Bandcamp teaser for its upcoming follow-up. Come out for the tasty melodic jams and stay for the wailing distortion emitted through Geronimo's speaker stack. LISTEN: " Design Yourself a [...]

Want some new music from Los Angeles band Raw Geronimo? Of course you do – and we're happy to slap it on a plate for you. This track's called Faustine and it has a definite west coast psych-pop feel. It's just been released through Neurotic Yell as a 7'' and you can have a listen to it here: Faustine

When I ask Chicago-based trio Geronimo! if the exclamation mark is entirely necessary, guitarist and vocalist Kelly Johnson responds, "I don't think we ever regret using the exclamation point. I know I personally think it adds some pizzazz. There are a few other Geronimos out there, but we're the only one that you read as a scream." It fits the band's articulated noise, which often includes Johnson or keyboardist and vocalist Ben Grigg yelling or (at the very least) rocking the expletive out. On slowly explosive "Battery Acid Moustache", Grigg screams, "My baby's got a fever!" against thickly [...]

And now three reasons to stop, drop and roll on over to Subterranean tonight... 1. Do you like your indie rock with punch? I mean a punch? A punch of gritty riffage? Then Geronimo! is your band. As showcased on their 2010 LP Fuzzy Dreams , the Chicago trio combines catchy melodies with big-muff powered guitar antics. Plus, word from our friends over at WindyCityRock.net is that the band will release a new, limited edition cassette tape at tonight's show dubbed (get it?) Buzz Yr [...]

And now three reasons to stop, drop and roll on over to Subterranean tonight... 1. Do you like your indie rock with punch? I mean a punch? A punch of riffy, gritty alt-rock? Then Geronimo! are your band. As showcased on their 2010 LP Fuzzy Dreams , the Chicago trio combines catchy melodies with big-muff powered guitar antics.

It's not even really all that close, but for whatever reason the bit 14 seconds in to Fergus & Geronimo's "Girls With English Accents" always reminds me of the first 10 seconds of Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried". =w=

Three how-the-hell-is-it-already-Thu rsday-I-need-a-drink-to-cope reasons to head over to Lincoln Hall tonight... 1. Mid-90s indie rock will always have a special place in my heart and clearly the hearts of the four men who comprise Chicago's Animal City . The power poppin' quartet is a little bit country Pavement-style and a little bit Guided by Voices-esque rock'n'roll. They even have a sense of humor. Check out these album titles: Win some, You Loser and Mouse Face . Animal city is lo-fi indie rock at its [...]
I'll be perfectly honest with you guys: I kind of hated the debut full-length from Fergus & Geronimo. Unlearn, in my eyes, was far too jokey, far too hokey and far too wannabe Zappa-esque. ... Continue reading "Denton Ex-Pats Fergus & Geronimo Debut Killer New Song In Daytrotter Session" >

Download: Fergus & Geronimo Daytrotter Session When Fergus & Geronimo dropped their debut LP earlier this year, it was a reason to let out a sign of relief. It was nice to start off the year with a band who didn't take themselves so seriously. F&G have a new Daytrotter session out. I didn't think it was possible, but it seems they found different ways to bring their outlandish personalities to a new level. Singing about movie sequels and sex with older women are just a few tricks of the [...]

Genre: Garage Pop Label: Daytrotter Unlearn, the debut album by Fergus & Geronimo, after a few 7" is one of the best records of 2011. Even if I prefer the songs written by A. Savage a.k.a. Fergus, the whole album is a funny and ironic and trip through sixties psych pop garage r'n'b sound with some sidekicks to the modern world of scenesters and hipsters. "Unlearn means to discard any misinformati [ This is the summary, read the whole story on Website [...]

Toronto - Fergus and Geronimo are a garage pop band out of Denton, Texas who make music that touches on a variety of different genres and takes influence from doo wop and Frank Zappa. They're named after two characters from an Irish movie I've never heard of , so I guess they win obscurity points for that. While on album they sound quite diverse, live they come across as a more straightforward garage rock band, albeit one with a sense of humour. They're the kind of band who can play a song about Roman numerals and all [...]
