sex pest sidca Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Just thought Id recommend Gonga to anyone who likes their rock stoned and their riffs low end and heavy! Obvious comparisons to the likes of Kyuss, Sabbath, etc etc. so if that stuff floats yer boat (which it should) then check them out!! Live tracks are available from their website at the moment - www.gonga.co.uk, in the gigs section which also appears to have a date at Kef listed for the start of May!DUDE!, AWESOME!!, RAD!!!, FAR-OUT!!!! etc. etc.We caught them at the Barfly in Glasgow last year and they're not to be missed.Gonga can also be heard at each and every Valhella night by the way folks. Details below. You know it makes sense in a hazy kind of way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmer_eldritch Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 we're supposed to playing at Kef with them on the 7th, if Paul remembers to phone us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryn Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 i dont get the definition stoner music. Like Kyuss can be pretty cool, but theres nothin stonish about it to me. When I'm stoned Id prob rather listen to the likes of pink floyd, trippy music etc. Funk is good too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer_eldritch Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 i agree that stoner music is as bryn said, Pink Floyd, Hawkwind and essentially, space rock music. I always listen to space rock while stoned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntedbyafreak Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Everyone seems to say Pink Floyd when they say stoner music... It's a bit boring isn't it?Track 4 on the Richard D. James album by Aphex Twin always does it for me when nicely toasted... Mogwai, Godspeed, Explosions in the Sky and My Bloody Valentine are all wonderful when stoned...

palmer_eldritch Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 as in the music is boring or its a cliche to listen to it?The music is certainly not boring for me. Its some of the most spaced out music ever. Shine on you crazy diamond is the ultimate space epic, and i just find the music very appropriate for how i feel after some stonerage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

framheim Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 i fucking hate pink floyd. shine on you crazy diamond is the dullest song ever. if i was stoned and someone put on pink floyd i'd consider punching them right between their little crossed eyes. kyuss on the other hand always hits the spot. give me low end riffage that i can nod my head to any day. although stuff like spacemen 3 is a doozy as well. personally any music is better than no music after a smoke but if i had to choose, i'd choose gonga and kyuss. come down to valhella some time, you might surprise yourself. and of course go see gonga.

Guest haigyman Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 I FUCKING love gonga, and will most definitely be there, infact, finding out they're playing up here is the best news i've had....um....ever. (apart from last year at download when i heard about metallica) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shine on you crazy diamond is the ultimate space epic, and i just find the music very appropriate for how i feel after some stonerage both cliche and boring.i know a good few people who never listen to pink floyd sober, but when stoned... a different matter. i find it very odd. it just seems like people think its the stoner thing to do... but why?and the term "space epic" makes me laugh. i like that one.

sex pest sidca Posted April 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 How did this end up as a discussion about Pink Floyd? Jesus christ. Fuck Pink Floyd (apart from '67 UFO footage era) But yeah Pink Floyd... bah!Gonga though, all you junkies who keep going on about being "toasted" and "stonerage" and stuff (whatever all that means) take a hit from your bong and give them a go at Kef on Fri 7th May, Im sure they won't disappoint!

bryn Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Yeh pink floyd is a wee bitty boring - but dark side of the moon is a fantastic listen! its cliche for a reason!You will prob find me down the little alleyway that leads down to the back of kef on friday 5 minutes before the first band is on.
