		When Gano's family moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin during his sixth grade year, Gano started playing guitar and writing songs.

	Tweak: Phone Tag - Gordon Gano
		Gordon's lyrics are powerful and personal, often sung by an emotionally troubled first-person narrator — someone disenchanted with people, the society at large, and, most characteristically, plagued by a string of painful, twisted relationships.
		Gordon, one of seven siblings and the son of a Baptist Minister, is a Christian.
		Glenn and Gordon both agree that, despite lyrics that could make even the most cynical atheists cringe, their parents were highly supportive of Gordon's musical exploration.

	OnMilwaukee.com Music: Milwaukee Talks: Gordon Gano
		Gordon Gano is best known around town as the lead singer of The Violent Femmes, arguably the biggest band ever to come out of Milwaukee.
		Now Gano has stepped out on his own, releasing a solo album called "Hitting the Ground." OMC caught up with the man whose voice has become a soundtrack to thousands of teenagers' angst since 1981, when he could be heard playing outside the East Side's Oriental Theatre.

	Gordon Gano : Hitting the Ground - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Two decades later, Gano was still the indie-rock artisan when he made his solo debut with Hitting the Ground.
		Gano's selection of songs were exclusively written for some of his heroes, not to mention some of indie-rock's finest like They Might Be Giants, Frank Black, and Mary Lou Lord.
		PJ Harvey is an uncanny match for Gano, for her wicked vocal stomp and distorted guitar work on this surf-styled number is equally fiery to his own sarcastic rendition.

	Band Bios: Gordon Gano of the Violent Femmes
		Gordon was born on June 7, 1963 and grew up in the suburbs of Milwaukee, WI.
		Legend has it that Gordon met Brian Ritchie, a local musician a few years older than himself, in a punk club the night before Gordon was scheduled to perform at the National Honor Society induction ceremony at his high school.
		Gordon is a devout Baptist and his religious beliefs come out in several V.F. songs.

		Likewise, for all their variety, the guests Violent Femmes frontman Gordon assembled for his collaborative first solo album — including They Might Be Giants, Frank Black, Linda Perry, Martha Wainwright, Lou Reed and John Cale — all deploy Gano's unmistakable cadence.
		Gano sings three songs on Hitting the Ground — "Make It Happen," which has all the fire of early Violent Femmes; "It's Money," a charming duet with Martha Wainwright; and a reprise of "Hitting the Ground," returning Harvey's favor with his own pouncing version of the song while she accompanies him on guitar.
		Gano is one of the last great frontmen around.

	CMT.com : John Cale : Punk Pioneers John Doe, Gordon Gano Pull A P. Diddy On Star-Studded Solo LPs
		The solo debut from Violent Femmes lead singer Gordon Gano, Hitting the Ground (August 27), is so star-studded that the nasally voiced singer could only squeeze his vocals onto three of the 11 tracks.
		Though Gano wrote all of the songs and recorded rough demos for his colleagues (and in some cases finished songs awaiting their vocals) to work off of, only punk godfather Lou Reed got a co-songwriting credit.
		Similarly, Gano said he wasn't concerned that his voice doesn't appear all over his solo debut, because his guests wont' likely hurt sales, either.

	Gordon Gano: Hitting the Ground Aversion.com Review
		As the moving force behind the Violent Femmes, Gordon Gano’s songwriting has been a perennial favorite of alt-rockers for almost two decades now.
		Early hits like "Blister in the Sun" and "Add it Up" are staples in alt-rock radio, owing to the peculiarities of Gano’s oddball, nervous delivery and his band’s ability to make a sound that’s tough to date.
		While this album’s been released as a Gano solo work, it’s not the traditional trip down solo side-project lane, as, although each song on the record was penned by the head Femme himself, he only steps in to record a mere three tracks on his own.

	violent-femmes Mp3 Albums Review
		Gordon Gano's distinct vocals (which I find sexy) are the clear highlight of this debut album.
		Gordan Gano's amazing ability to sound both geniunely sad and geniunely insane at the same time is one of their unique characteristics, and the multi-talented Brian Ritchie brings all sorts of new and fresh musical expressions.
		Writer/guitarist/vocalist Gordon Gano not only gave words to his sexual (and other) angst, but performed on record and in concert as though the emotions were gripping him at that very moment.

	The History of Rock Music. Violent Femmes: biography, discography, reviews, links
		Gano, il cui tono oscilla fra quello di un filosofo giullare e quello di un predicatore invasato, si propone come un Ry Cooder della provincia borghese.
		Gano incide un disco di gospel profano a nome Mercy Seat con una iper-sensuale vocalist di colore, mentre Brian Ritchie si dedica a una carriera di jazz-rock d'avanguardia.
		While not as bizarre as the Holy Modal Rounders, and not as mocking as Gordon Gano's vocals would imply (despite echoes of Jonathan Richman's juvenile dementia), their songs were unorthodox and their rhythms were the antithesis of "traditional" (Brian Ritchie on bass and Victor DeLorenzo on drums).

		Gordon Gano var i begynnelsen av tjueårene da "Violent Femmes" kom ut, og albumet lyste sterkt av en trang til å gjøre opprør mot foreldrene og det satte samfunnet.
		Ganos foreldre var dedikerte baptister, og Gordons tekster var gjennomsyret av hans motstandsforhold til dette.
		Gordon Gano begynte etter hvert å ville gjøre andre ting enn Femmes, så han startet opp et soloprosjekt - The Mercy Seat - i 1987.

		Preaching to the choir: The Violent Femmes, including Gordon Gano, center, are set to perform Sept. 7 at the Mystic Theater in Petaluma.
		TO SAY that the Violent Femmes--who blend choppy guitars and bare-bones arrangements, punchy riffs, and self-effacing lyrics with often Captain Beefheartesque experimentalism--have had an up-and-down career is an understatement.
		Gano, the son of a preacher, has flirted with Christian messages in such tunes as "Country Death Song" and "Jesus Walking on the Water," a seeming contradiction to his penchant for penning teen anthems dealing with masturbation, rebellion, and chicks ("36-24-36").

	Robert Christgau: CG: Violent Femmes
		And if you believe Jonathan Richman damn well is as sexy as Richard Hell, which Gano is counting on, remember that what makes Jonathan's kiddie act so (shall we say) appealing is that he counts on nothing except his fingers and toes.
		Gano knows his stuff--the barely electric music is striking enough for rock and roll.
		No deep thinker and probably a jerk, Gordon Gano is the good-looking cad in a collegiate picaresque, putting himself across on feckless charm and endless libido.

	Thank You For Clapping. 16HP/Violent Femmes interview in French newspaper Le Monde 14 March 2000
		Respectively the son of a Baptist minister and the grandson of a preacher, Gano and Edwards share concerns in the Bible.
		Gano's way of declaiming results probably more from a dramatization of his characters than from a profession of faith.
		Gano, in turn, qualifies that relationship: "There's a recurring fantasy about us: our songs are said to convey the atmospheres of Faulkner, Caldwell, Carson MacCullers or Flannery O'Connor, who I'm quite fond of by the way.

		Gordon Gano is the frontman of the (great and powerful) Violent Femmes...in my opinion, that's about all you need to know.
		And I must say that, even though PJ Harvey annoys me to no end for no particular reason, she does an impressive job of replicating Gordon Gano's vocal style: partly hiccupping, partly nasal screams, partly stuttering.
		We should vote Gordon Gano for president and he should get an oscar for 'blister in the sun.' Have not heard his solo stuff but I am sure it is great.

		Their music is set to a raucous acoustic structure they cleverly coined "folk-you," and Gano's lyrics run the gamut from depressive to funny to self-deprecating.
		Called "the elder statesman of teen angst" by the New York Times, Gano, with his trademark whine, set a sympathetic tenet for pre-Generation-X youths.
		Sprung from an era rich in college rock when bands like Hüsker Dü and the Replacements reigned supreme, the Femmes reveled in '80s glory, thanks to those aforementioned hits, which have been both a crutch and a blessing for the group.

	Interview - Gordon Gano
		Some time ago I was excited to hear that I was to be granted an interview with the frontman of one of my all time favourite bands – Violent Femmes, by email admittedly, but this was just as exciting to me as any other way.
		As a result, it was a wait of several weeks before my questions were answered, and, taking PR to a new level, Joolz at Cooking Vinyl typed up his handwritten replies for me. Thanks Joolz, it was worth the wait, as here is the complete interview for our readers’ delectation.
		It begins: ‘Gordon Gano’s voice will clear out a room faster than a methane explosion.” Or at least that’s what I remember it saying.

		Aber dafür reiht er eine strahlende Lichterkette von Gaststars auf: PJ Harvey, John Cale, Lou Reed, Linda Perry, Frank Black, They Might Be Giants, Mary Lou Lord, Martha Wainwright und seine Schwester Cynthia Gayneau leihen den stilistisch sehr heterogenen Liedern ihre Stimmen und auch Instrumente.
		They Might Be Giants liefern mit "Darlin' Allison" eine Doo-Wop-Parodie; Gordon Ganos Schwester Cynthia (Gayneau!) singt das Country-Weihnachtslied "Merry Christmas Brother", eine andere Schwester, nämlich die von Rufus Wainwright, Martha, singt zusammen mit Gordon Gano das zynische "It´s about Money" ("..it´s about money, that´s what I´m here for..").
		Sicherlich gibt es technische Feinheiten, die das Erscheinungsjahr verraten, aber die Violent Femmes haben schließlich als Straßenmusiker begonnen und Gordon Gano verleugnet sein Faible für einfache, aber wirkungsvolle Instrumentierung glücklicherweise auch 2002 nicht.

		While gano's 20-year-career as the Violent Femmes frontman and songwriter on eight full-length releases (including the seminal folk and country-inflected Hallowed Ground from 1985, and 1986's innovative Blind Leading the Naked produced by ex-Talking Heads Jerry Harrison) is well-documented, gano's solo work on innumerable side projects is not.
		On Hitting the Ground PJ Harvey does her best gordon gano where she charges the mic headfirst complete with multi-octave yelps and an intense distorted guitar attack that knocks everyone else's amplifier off the stage.
		gordon gano currently lives in New York City and is planning shows around the Hitting the Ground album.
