Gaviotas Band

A friend asked me what I thought about Gaviotas. I couldn’t figure out the right words to express how much I adore them.
After a moment’s thought, I told her that listening to them was like when you see your lover from across the room. The two of you lock eyes. They wink at you, saunter over, pick you up and whisk you off for a night of passion and romance… and then drop you off a balcony into a dumpster full of roses to cushion your fall.
That last part was actually a bit of collaboration between the lot of us, but I am so honored to know the fine boys of Gaviotas. Their music is powerful and strong like a Greek god’s body. They hit you with lightening and thunder. Their soon-​to-​be-​hit jam «One Look» is so ridiculously catchy that I picked up on the chorus after two listens.
Punk music has been near and dear to my heart for many years now (well over a decade!) and these fellas deliver a speedy, heartfelt brand of punk-​metal that is sure to please the crowd. Their energy and enthusiasm is contagious. I felt like a proud stage mom watching her boys in the school play. So much admiration and utter joy to see them doing what they love.
As far as Bay Area bands ago, they are one of my all-​time favorites. Go see them at their next show and tell them Brandi sent you. Get into the front and prepare to have your face melted clean off. You won’t be disappointed.

Gaviotas is a band of guys truly committed to their art. Frankly, I don’t really like their style of music personally, but it is very obvious, within their genre, they exceed any hopes you might have. I know they love their music and its excellence and who could ask for more?
I think they have played numerous venues in San Francisco (I think there will be more) and it is clearly obvious that the message they convey, both musically and lyrically, is one of social examination and, most importantly, hope. Go hear and experience these guys; it will be worth your while !
