Heat was an accident. Heat was the ass backward product of a causal mix of gases that made the spark that made the universe. It is the transfer of energy. It is the energy of atoms molecules and ions vibrating together as fast and frantically as possible through chemical reaction or friction until burnout. It’s a wave. The compulsion to breed in animals.
H E A T is for burnouts. It’s for the kids that smoke cigarettes underneath the bleachers during lunch and grow out their hair and steal out of their parents stash. It’s for the weirdos, by the weirdos. For people who don’t own a car and have to borrow their friends to make the show three hours away. It’s four long shadows cast along the blacktop pavement on a sweltering July evening.
H E A T is the unforeseen explosion that wipes away everything prior to it and leaves endless possibilities in its wake. Roll down your windows. Take off a layer. H E A T is in season. H E A T is here for the summer.
And they came to melt your face.
Oakland based art rock band Gumby’s Junk began in 2018 as acomplete mishap. Pushing musical surrealism to its limits with outrageous harmonies, circus-fast riffs, and genre mishmash, they have been described as oblique, colorful madness and like you are running fast and looking at the ground. After you listen, you’ll know that when they ring the bell, you get a treat.
