What people say about Shot My TV, the first album by The Gonedaddys



"(.) Steeped in a lifetime of New York stories, The Gonedaddys possess the hallmark identity of an act from one of the most mixed up metropolis on earth. By turns trashy, sharp-tongued, charming and even sweet, this debut record is streetwise for sure- just see the true grit of the jumpy, jittering 'The Shakes" or savage and brilliant 'How to be a Punk'- but it is

something else which lends it an authenticity quite aside from what

try-hard tough guys aspiring to a piece of scene the Gonedaddys

created can come up with. That something is fearlessness when it comes

to exporing life's flipside,(.) It may only be dirty punk'n'roll, but

it's of the most real, honest and expressive sort, which makes it very

hard to dislike".

(Bubblegum Slut. Issue 36 London, England)



"(.)"if you had Stiv Bators and Bob

Stinson form a band with Johnny Thunders , and get Jim Carroll to rock with

them…then yeah…this could be it…"

(.) a very cool RnR band in the Thunders/Replacements/Stiv-solo style with a

touch of Orange County Punk thrown in, and touches possibly of The Leaving

Trains (thanks to songs like "I Wanna Pet Cats For A Living"). They are all

sorts of fun, all sorts of cool, and all sorts of exceedingly refreshing in my

life at this moment.

By the way, these guys are available on Nicotine Records, a label that keeps

proving that they know what the hell they are doing"

(Sonic Ruin- USA)



"This album could have been written by the New York Dolls (.) A genuine masterpiece, Shot My TV has a pre-punk 70s drive which could almost make Kevin K envious (.) Shot My TV is perfect soundtrack to the book Please Kill Me" (Underdog Fanzine-Germany).

"The Ramones meet the New York Dolls, and of course CBGB's. Shot My Tv is a timeless good album. Hats off!" (www.independentkicks.de, Germany)

"Rockin powerpop songs (.) NY Punk Rock fans will love this album." (Veglam, France)



"The Gonedaddys give all the wannabes, copycats and tattooed posers a good lesson in humility with a really cool, fun, witty and nicely crafted album. A must have, and certainly a very refreshing alternative to the soul-less, gutless, overproduced nonsense which is shoved down our throats on a daily basis." (New York Waste, USA)



----------------------------------------



The Gonedaddys are a four-piece rock group based in New York. Comprised of Garrett Uhlenbrock, a.k.a. Skinny Bones (vocals/guitar), Doug Wapner (guitar/vocals), Thomaxe Goze (bass), and Johnny Watson (drums), the band’s sound has been compared to classic punk rock outfits from the NY scene of the 70s (i.e. CBGB’s, Max’s Kansas City, etc.), but with an unmistakable modern flare. In support of their debut record “Shot My TV” (2009) released on CD by the Italian label Nicotine Records and on vinyl by Tornado Ride Records, The Gonedaddys are hard at work preparing for their upcoming European tour. The band has received much attention due to front man Skinny Bones’ colorful past.

Skinny has been strumming away since 1978. His first recording was pressed on vinyl and appeared in 1982, but he is best known for co-writing "The Job that Ate my Brain" (which was featured on MTV's hit animated show "Daria" in the episode, "It Happened One Nut"), "Anxiety”, and "Have a Nice Day" with Marky Ramone for the RAMONES’ albums "Mondo Bizzaro" and "Adios Amigos". After Dee Dee left the Ramones he teamed up with Skinny to write 12 songs for a new studio project. Skinny also played in Joey Ramone’s "Resistance" side project (video clip below).

After the Ramones breakup, Marky and Skinny formed The Intruders, recorded a debut album, and toured the world. At their peak, Marky and Skinny opened for the Sex Pistols in Brazil (video clip below). A guest guitar appearance on Mercury Revs' "Deserter’s Songs" showcases the versatility of his playing, and while working with members of "Agit Pop", Skinny engineered and performed on Vic Chesnutt's "About to Choke" for Capitol records. He has opened for The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, The Misfits, Patti Smith, Bad Religion, Sick of it All, The Lemonheads, Biohazard, Fishbone, and Cypress Hill, to name a few. Having played such renowned local venues as Irving Plaza, The Knitting Factory, CBGB’s, and The Bearsville Theatre, Skinny is no stranger to the thriving NY scene from which he came. Skinny’s latest effort with The Gonedaddys provides a refreshing take on the classic punk sound of New York City.
