Had a great year, played with some amazing bands.. Purples, Toons, Lightninging, Air Traffic Controller, the Zambonis, and Gods and Monsters.
Here's a live video at one of the last nights at TT the Bears in Boston, its a new song called "Ride" - see you in 2016!!
The Cakeshop show with Purples and Toons was a Village Voice Top 10 Show of the Week
Philthy Magazine interviewed Gladshot in this feature before the Philly show, which was also previewed by Bucket Full of Nails
In the latest reviews, The Deli says "Gladshot offers joyfully smooth, casual, bouncing tunes that give off a folky-funky, lyrically inquisitive vibe" and Boston Survival Guide put up this "Introducing Gladshot" feature writing "Gladshot's sound has an honest folkiness about it, but at the same time, it’s pleasantly thrashy garage rock with warm vocals and feel-good harmonies"
Playing three shows in July with our friends Purples from Philly..
- 7/15, Boston, TT the Bear's w/ Air Traffic Controller, People Skills
- 7/16, NYC, Cakeshop w/ Toons
- 7/22, Philly, Ortlieb's w/ Lightninging
TT's is closing shop at the end of July and we count ourselves lucky to get to play one of the best music rooms out there.
At the LIC Arts Festival on Saturday May 16 with former Jeff Buckley band Gods and Monsters (feat. Gary Lucas of Capt Beefheart) and an all-star garage band with Peter Zeremba of The Fleshtones, Billy Ficca (Television), Ernie Brooks (Modern Lovers) + Richard Mazda (prod. Fleshtones)
Check out Brian Arsenault Takes On GLADSHOT's CD "Maxwells Cool Demon" in International Review of Music -
"It’s hard to believe there was a time when the artists managed to grab control of music and records and we wouldn’t have to suffer through industry created pop anymore. That was another ’60s-’70s dream of course. The empire struck back early and often. Still the rise of digital created a world in which recordings can be made without the big labels. And sometimes still we get a GLADSHOT"
