Band News: GBHGBH is currently working on material for a new album and has about 3/4 of the writing completed. GBH also plans to release a DVD of their set at the Sonic Mania Festival in Tokyo from last year. The band are currently on tour in the US. Since their last US tour in September 2004, GBH has released "Cruel And Unusual," a compilation on Rock Idol Records of two out-of-print GBH/Billy Club EPs and 4 live tracks, and the DVD "GBH: Kawasaki Live/Brit Boys Attacked By Brats." Secret Films and Music Video Distributors just released GBH's new DVD "Charged GBH - On Stage City Baby Attacked By Rats," recorded on August 29, 2004, at The Coronet in London. The DVD features the full concert as well as an interview with the band and backstage antics. In the United Kingdom, Sanctuary Records has released a 2 CD Anthology entitled “Dead On Arrival”. Featuring 50 songs spanning the band’s history, “Dead on Arrival” contains both fan favorites as well as hard to find tracks. The band will be selling this sought after disc at all of their shows on the tour. ----------------------------------------- The band began in 1979 as part of the second wave of punk, but after 25 years of touring, 15 album releases and numerous singles, GBH is considered by many as the lead flag bearer of UK Punk. "This isn't a phase we're going through," said vocalist Colin Abrahall. "We are not the MTV generation. This is real. It's not a fashion thing - here today gone tomorrow - this is for life. I guess we have connected with some people and they have grown up with us. It's like being part of a global family." Many punk bands are notorious for having “revolving door syndrome” when it comes to personnel, but GBH's lineup has withstood the test of time. The core of GBH, vocalist Colin Abrahall, guitarist Jock Blythe, and bassist Ross Lomas have been together since the beginning, while drummer Scott Preece has been a member since 1993. " Maybe we've been together so long because we were friends before we were in a band," said Abrahall. "Maybe it's because we have never lived together. We all know are specific role within the band and we love each other." GBH's last full studio album was 2002’s "Ha Ha" on Go Kart Records and their fans' insatiable demand to see the band live continues unabated. GBH has toured extensively in support of the album- three North American tours (two with The Circle Jerks) a full European tour in late 2003 and constant festival shows, a Japanese tour in 2004 (including two festivals with Rancid and The Stray Cats in front of 20,000 fans in Tokyo and 15,000 in Osaka) and two tours of Brazil and Argentina. This past April, the band played The Stavanger Festival in Norway and flew to Spain for a festival in Granada the following day. GBH fans can expect a high-energy night of classic songs such as 'Race Against Time,' 'City Baby Attacked By Rats,' and 'Give Me Fire,' as well as tracks from "Ha Ha," and even several new, unreleased songs. "We're still as sexy as we were 25 years ago," said Abrahall. ----------------------------------------- Tour Dates (with support The God Awfuls) 07/19/05 Tue.
