Hoover's G-String: News

Ever have a friend who insists HIS birthday is the one day of the year that governments around the world should universally recognize as a sacred day? Uh...not us. But the the GatMan of Rock n Roll just turned 29 again. Last year the boys in the band got Bill a 6 foot by 8 foot poster of Johnny Cash flipping a proud middle finger at the camera. So this year we decided to up the ante and actually bought him a new middle finger. The Gatman that is...not Mr. Cash. Thanks to some good friends in Hendersonville, TN the GatMan now owns a 4-inch middle finger that has a unique Man in Black quality and aroma to it. No further details available at this time.

As has become a tradition this year's birthday celebrations included two young brunettes enamored with the GatMan's slapping and thumping abilities. "Dirty Old Egg Suckin Dog" that he is the GMan educated the ladies on the finer points of Jackson and did some role playing as the Wichita Lineman and a Boy Named Sue. Thank God no video cameras were present in the master bedroom. I can't wait til he turns 29 again next year.....

Bill Gatter's short but sweet composition "A Shiny Red Guitar for a Girl in California" plays a prominent role in a new independent film by English director Reginald White. The film's main character is infatuated with Gatter's sub-1 minute song and a certain Pink Floyd 12-minute number that shall remain nameless. The protagonist plays the two songs in an endless loop, forcing his girlfriend and business partners to acknowledge the progress rock has made in the last 30 years. Not sure how the film ends but apparently Pink Floyd is not happy, according to their publicist. Way to school 'em Gatman.

Indie-Music.com calls Hoover's G-String "The antithesis of pretentiousness. Even when they’re not full throttle rockin’, the threat is always there."

Watch (or listen) for two classic Hoover's G-String instrumentals in the final season of the Sopranos. The song "New Jersey Turnpike" has been licensed for use as well as "Dave's So Cheap." HBO and the show's producers are upping the Jersey music feel for the final season--they sought out the Reinholz brothers after reportedly hearing one of the band's tunes in a catering tent during last season's filming. Boy, wouldn't it be nice for Tony to whack somebody with HGS playing in the background?
