	Gomez (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The band left a sign out for a friend of theirs named Gomez to indicate that this was the site of their first gig.
		Gomez entered the recording studio in 1997 to turn their demos into a full-length album.
		With Ian Ball relocating to Los Angeles with his wife, the band played at venues across the US in 2004 and were originally slated to be a part of the cancelled 2004 Lollapalooza tour.

	Gomez invades L.A. with its space-rock (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		During the second half of the song, Gomez continued to build momentum as it demonstrated its unique ability to combine three distinctive lyrical voices with guitars, bass and percussion to form infectious, body-moving, roots-based music.
		At points during the remainder of the set, Gomez utilized a combination of left-to-right fade effects, synthesized organs, keyboards and, on the 12-minute opus "California," a seventh musician on a fourth guitar.
		Hopefully when Gomez returns stateside to launch a full tour in support of Liquid Skin, it will perform for a crowd that is wholly respectful and appreciative the entire night rather than just a segment of it.

		One interesting aspect of Gomez' music is their tendency to begin a song simply with a single guitar and light vocals, and then build not toward a distorted climax, but toward experimental rhythms and sounds.
		Gomez aren't afraid to do things a little differently, and this is very rewarding for the person who gives the album a thorough listen and keeps an open mind when the music turns in a completely unexpected direction.
		Gomez strives to continually keep the listener on edge and uncertain of what to expect, yet there are similarities in style to other bands at certain points on the album.

		Gomez, which features vocalist-guitarist-keyboardist Tom Gray, vocalist-guitarist Ian Bell, vocalist-guitarist Ben Ottewell, bassist-vocalist Paul Blackburn and drummer Olly Peacock, is a band that delights in straddling the borders of stylistic boundaries.
		Gomez is perhaps the only mainstream British band that has the flexibility to play whatever it chooses on a given night.
		Gomez is known as a band that can be hit or miss in concert.

		After the break, the band had plenty of material and as the record progressed they found themselves floating around the studio, each one tinkering here and there, bending and twisting the results with an array of looping devices and samplers.
		Such are the operations of Gomez--the band that manages to play a raspy blues, tempered by nearly effortless integration of dot/dash sensibilities.
		Though the band was able to write plenty of new material while on its sabbatical, if they had to keep going on, Ball said, they would have been fucked.

		Back in England, Hut, the EMI subsidiary the band had been signed to since the start of its career, ceased operations, leaving them with an unfamiliar label team to handle the release of Split the Difference.
		Being that it was mostly label difficulties that had always gotten in the way of putting together a live release, though, the band took its new free-agent status as a sign that the timing was finally right.
		After all, Gomez had been successfully touring on their own for quite some time already, so there was no reason they couldn't take matters further into their hands.

	Salt Lake City Weekly - Gomez Comes Alive
		Gomez (Ottewell, Peacock, vocalist-guitarist-keyboardist Tom Gray, vocalist-guitarist Ian Ball and bassist Paul Blackburn) are in the midst of a press day, corralled for a cluster of phone interviews to promote their upcoming U.S. tour, the first in two years.
		Ottewell opines that Gomez function as a matter of different tastes, backgrounds and personalities blending well; respect and open-mindedness are held in high esteem.
		Hard to imagine “shit” coming from Gomez, given its nearly impeccable discography, much less the fact they were signed to Virgin’s U.K. subsidiary Hut Recordings on the basis of their demos.

	Gomez invites you into its garage \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Ottewell and the five-piece British band Gomez may have not traded up from parking lots to palatial hotel suites, but the group's retro-pop sound and electronic experimentations have poised the five Brits on the brink of mainstream American recognition.
		Gomez followed the one-two punch of its first two albums by taking some time away from the road.
		This year, with Gomez's "Split the Difference," the band's rash of tours in the months before hitting the studio was reflected in the recording process.

		Gomez -- which also features Ian Ball (vocals, guitar, harmonica), Paul Blackburn (bass, guitar), and Olly Peacock (drums) -- have been playing together for a decade now; they celebrate the tenth anniversary of their first gig in October, 2006.
		But while Norton helped the band select and put finishing touches on songs long before entering London's fabled RAK Studios to cut the album, he was hardly dictatorial.
		Scrutinize the spacey, almost psychedelic title track closely, and the advantages of the band's judicious new approach to arrangements are evident.

		The British band is hard to categorize, to say the least, but guitarist and vocalist (he shares both duties with fellow members Tom Gray and Ben Ottewell) Ian Ball isn't worried about pinning their music down.
		Ball, however, who moved to Los Angeles two years ago (the rest of the band remains in England), is ready to move on from the British scene, where the press, as is their wont, has moved on, as well.
		Gomez will be registering voters on their upcoming tour, and Ball is optimistic about the possibility for regime change in the U.S. "I don't know whether we're going to be making any political statements, because you don't really need to make any political statements at the moment.

	Music Preview: Gomez doesn't sound like the typical Brit-pop band (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Gomez has been cruising the States this year anyway with "Split the Difference," a fourth proper studio record that finds the band once again blending blues-rock, jaunty pop, psychedelia and electronics in a way that people find hard to classify.
		Gomez carried that honor and burden through "Liquid Skin" (1999) and "In Our Gun" (2002), records that were variously praised and panned for their increased use of studio enhancement.
		Beyond that, Gomez can be as heavy as Pearl Jam and Nirvana, as arty as Radiohead, as power-pop as Weezer and as folksy (almost) as the Dead.

	MetroActive Music \| Gomez
		Gomez plays psychedelic, '60s-inspired blues, but the band is equally fixated on more modern musics, like trance, ambient and acid jazz, only without the synths--groove music played on guitars.
		The guys in Gomez come from Southport, a dingy English old-person resort, like a much colder version of St. Petersburg, Fla., and in their bio, one band member says that their music is "the sound of being surrounded by old age." Perhaps this explains the band's extremely charming lack of interest in hipness.
		Like many bands of their ilk--that is, instant success stories--Gomez seems to have led a charmed life.

	IGN: Gomez Rock Chicago On A Mission
		Gomez took the stage opening with a fan favorite, "Bring It On"; a smart move in light of the fact that many long-time fans have been less than impressed with How We Operate.
		Gomez's mission was to convince fans that the songs are the sonic equal of the older material.
		There was minor grumbling at the start of each, but the band's enthusiasm for the material made sure that by the end fans understood the song better; and would leave the show hearing the new album differently.

		With the release of its next album (earmarked for the spring), the push is on to take the band's innovative melding of swampy roots music and cutting-edge electronic tinges to the next level.
		Yet if the band was willing to follow virtually any melodic whim in the past, it has reined in some of those tendencies on its latest studio effort, recorded with the help of producer Tchad Blake (Pearl Jam, Sheryl Crow).
		The results will be heard in the band's live set, which will offer a healthy dose of its catalog as well as showcase four or five new songs each evening.

		We lived within a mile of each other, went to the same schools, were born in the same hospitals, you know that kind of thing," recalls Gomez singer Tom Grace in regards to the history of his band Gomez.
		Luck was on their side because although Gomez had never set foot on a stage the band managed to reel in a contract with a HUT records in England in 1996, after that into the studio they went and onto many platforms all over the country and eventually the world.
		As for the -yet to be titled- next album, the bands affirms it will definitely be a return to its rock roots, other than that there's not telling a word, they're determined to keep quiet and let their creation evolve until it's ready to be heard.

		Gomez, who hail from Southport in Lancashire and Matlock Spa in Derbyshire, started their guitar-based band at Sheffield Hallam University only last year.
		Half of the band's album was recorded on low tech four-track home recording equipment, but its authentic-sounding blues has won wide acclaim.

		Secretly, for almost the past decade, a band which emerged from a Merseyside suburb have been making music that is just as fantastically psychedelic as that of The Coral, but with little recognition or acclaim.
		This is the fourth studio album from Gomez, but unfortunately, ‘Split The Difference’ falls far short of the high standards set by its predecessors.
		Perhaps this review should be in the unsigned section, as that is seemingly where Gomez are headed, particularly in light of the demise of their record label, Hut.

		Gomez steal from groups like the Beatles, the Band and the Who.
		Bands who don't fit into one genre, or who layer several styles into one post-modern sandwich, are immediately rewarded with the same old critical accolades: "diverse," "creative," "like Beck." Of course all this really means is that these borrower bands have more extensive record collections than their peers.
		Likened to the Band, the Doors, the Beatles, Hank Williams, Pearl Jam and Tom Waits, Gomez were suddenly rock gods.

	NPR : Gomez: 'How We Operate'
		Day to Day, May 2, 2006 ·; The pop band Gomez won England’s prestigious Mercury Prize for record of the year with their very first release in 1998.
		Gomez are known for sophisticated arrangements of songs that are part bright Brit-pop and part '60s psychedelia, with a dash of loops and electronic sounds and a healthy dose of American blues and roots.
		But for the past few CDs, the band has been accused of layering their songs with too many bells and whistles.The new CD is mellower, more acoustic and much more focused on delivering clean, comprehensible, radio-friendly, grown-up pop songs.
