About:
Gods And Queens
Started in 2008 as what was supposed to be a solo project for guitarist Jamie Getz, Gods And Queens evolved into a fully functioning band. Recording and releasing an LP on Robotic Empire (US) & Adagio830 (Europe) before they played a single show, Gods And Queens made no bones about the influence and directions they wanted to go. The reference of mid 1990′s bands such as Lungfish, Unwound, June Of 44, Rodan, and Hoover have been a mainstay in the band’s catalog of music.
The core line up of guitarist/vocalist Jamie Getz and bassist Ben Roysdon has been riddled with various drummers and an unwillingness to let that slow them down. Completing 3 European tours and releasing 1 LP, and 2 EP’s Gods And Queens continue to evolve in their small path in the musical world. The band’s live shows have ranged from drunken ramblings that never end, to no crowd interaction or talking of any kind. Sometimes playing for upwards of an hour, banging out cover songs from Husker Du, and The Big Boys, or playing 11 songs in 20 minutes without stopping. Gods And Queens has proven unpredictable, and a slight enigma to people who have latched onto the band.
