about
The van Gobots were conceived on the fourth of July, 2007 in the back of a minivan. They released their debut EP in September of 2008 and their follow-up full-length record, Guantanamo Beach Party was released in September of 2009. Guantanamo Beach Party spent one month in the CMJ Top 200 with a peak chart position of #128. After the departure of original drummer Keith Lacock, the band downsized from a quartet and reemerged as a trio in 2012, with Nick Geier converting from guitar to drums. Free Smells was recorded in July/August 2012 and is available for free digital download at http://thevangobots.bandcamp.com. The van Gobots have shared the stage with such notable acts as Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin (Polyvinyl), The Parlor Mob (Roadrunner), Headlights (Polyvinyl) and The Love Language (Merge) as well as showcasing at Red Gorilla Music Festival (Austin, TX) in 2008, 2009 and 2010 , Texas Rockfest in 2009, and Summerfest (Milwaukee) in 2011. The van Gobots were featured in The Onion AV Club’s 2009: The Year in Band Names.
