I am a human being. (Insert Elephant Man reference here.) </p>
<p>Most of my life has been spent bolstering other people’s view that I am that first description. It’s been more important to me than almost any other thing short of breathing that my worth be measured by my musical capabilities and how thoroughly I am killing it. </p>
<p>Artistically speaking and in terms of popularity, looks and status, competing with others who were engaging in the same pursuits as your handsome leading man (me) was an awful way to live. Recently, a seemingly obvious idea occurred to me as they not quite so often do. </p>
<p>Every life has worth. </p>
<p>I wonder if (like me) any of you other carbon-based life forms have been pondering whether COVID 19, in all of it’s horribleness, could possibly serve as a reminder to us all. </p>
<p>Maybe we are all incredibly vulnerable and intrinsically tied to each other. Maybe every one of us is of value and we should goddamn start treating each other like we know it. We, the walking meat sacks with a soul inside of the planet Earth, each as ridiculous as the next. All of us making our plans and spinning our webs, to what end? </p>
<p>Maybe this pandemic could serve as a global pause and a deep breath. Did we really think that the object of this existential puppet show was to win? C’mon. We can do better. Let’s try this: Love your neighbor. </p>
<p><strong>AND STAY HOME!</strong></p>

We all knew what GHG were and the object was to represent that thing sonically. This one's a little trickier. At first my producer, Harley Fine, would ask me for references for sounds and direction and I would pull things from here and there without a clue as to what direction these mixes should take. It's taken me three mixes to get a bead on what this album should sound like. Bruce Springsteen talked about working like the tortoise, not the hare in his book and that's what I'm going to continue to do. I can hear a direction and I can't wait to share it with you when I am done. Thank you for your support!!!</span></p>

<p><span class="font_xl">I have not checked in for a while, so here I am! As of this weekend, we have finished tracking four out of ten songs at Super 70 Studio in Beacon, NY. Sunday and Monday we recorded background vocals, Hammond organ, piano, tambourine, castanets, acoustic and electric guitars, slide guitar, tamboura, and Mellotron. Yay! I still have phone calls to make to some of you nice people. Not an easy one for me, cause I am very shy, believe it or not. I also have one more song to write for a very kind perk recipient. When we are ready to mix, our first priority will be the special cover song for our Special Song package contributors. As you can see, we are moving at a snail's pace, but we are working hard to get this thing done. I can't wait to send you guys a copy!!! Thank you so much for making this whole thing possible. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl">Cheers! </span></p>

Thank you so much for being such an important part of this project. I will be posting update videos and such as we go. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl">There is one small issue, as it turns out, and it's all my fault! In my usual detail oriented style, I forgot to engage the option on my Indiegogo page that would make it possible for you kind folks to provide me with addresses and phone numbers. Duh! I will be sending out a mass email in order to get that info from you guys in the near future. Thanks again for your support. It means the world to me. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_xl">One more wrinkle... If anyone has not and would still like to participate they can! Fortunately, I did remember to use the On Demand option. If you would still like to contribute, you can still visit my page and do so. As a matter of fact, if you would like to contribute and still receive a perk, you can contribute and reach out to me. I will send the perk that you choose that coincides with your contribution value for as long as supplies last. See you soon! </span></p>

That's quite a sentence isn't it? Nine days left. Nine days! Okay, so maybe for the sake of argument, you might say that I jumped into this thing a little too quickly. Maybe nobody actually cares if my music is growing and flourishing in new and interesting ways. Maybe I should not make assumptions about the willingness of fans of my former band to jump into this new project with yours truly, before they have had a chance to suss out what I may be currently up to musically. Maybe getting a little smacked around at the outset of my burgeoning solo career will only serve my musical development as an artist in ways that I am unable to fully appreciate at this point in my own creative development. Maybe I'm not such a great self promoter. Maybe I'm a little too snarky. Maybe my eyes are set a little too close together. Maybe, when I enter a room, I get the sense that people have been talking about me behind my back, as the last few snickers escape from their less than convincing poker faces and they guiltily utter, "Oh hi, Rick..." Maybe I wet my pants in the second grade and classmates all made fun of me and I have been searching for musical status and the acceptance of strangers, rather than fostering genuine connection in the here and now by looking within and loving myself for the child like sentient being that I am in connection with all that is and ever will be. May be all of that is true. <br>Dude, I've got nine days left. Won't you join me on my journey? </span></p>

Two things I neglected to mention... The video for Boogie was the first appearance of the greatest guitar player on the face of the earth, Oscar Suh-Rodriguez. I was still trying to figure out if he could play at this point. Of course, I was an idiot, because Oscar is brilliant. I would also be remiss if I did not mention that none of it would have come together without the tireless effort of our manager at the time, Deb Jones.

<p><span class="font_large">I have always viewed collaboration as the lifeblood of every creative endeavor. My world view having expanded in recent years, I have come to regard cooperative effort as an essential component of a life well lived. As a front man for a Rock & Roll band, some of my greatest moments have been spent with four other guys in a basement, all of us trying to figure how best to crush this rock of a song into a diamond. There was always lots of pushing and pulling going on, but really what made it work was listening and communicating, something I was never particularly good at in my day to day life. I loved every minute of it, even when the end results were bupkis. Figuring out the presentational aspects, including what the Gas House Gorillas looked like, the general point of view and promotional angles involved a similar process, sometimes not overt, but collaborative none-the-less. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">By far, the most important collaboration for me was the one that took place between our band and our audience. We were determined that our people would know that we considered them to be one of us. From the very beginning we refused to pander, speaking to them in the same unflinching way that we spoke to each other. Some people did not appreciate our evil sense of humor, or unwillingness to bend to outside creative pressure. But the people who stayed seemed to somehow be in on the joke. The result being that we felt a closeness to our little musical community that was, for me, miraculous and life affirming. For a grown man such as myself, one who remains to this day, shy, awkward and riddled with self-doubt, that connection was and is a life saver. Thank you for allowing me to feel ten feet tall in your presence. For allowing me to feel connected to something bigger than myself. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">This will be a year of firsts for me. I will be launching a crowdfunding campaign tomorrow morning. We are raising funds for my first solo recording. It will also be the first time I have ever sat on a stage alone with a guitar, without a net. I know that there are plenty of you that do it all the time and you have my respect and admiration. But that’s never been me. I’m not going to lie. I feel both terrified and exhilarated. I may land flat on my face. Won’t that be funny? Not for me, but for someone. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">In any event, the collaboration continues, and I am eternally grateful for the opportunity. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">When you get my email tomorrow morning, please visit my Indiegogo page, contribute, share, chime in, and be a part of it in some way or another. Whatever you can do will be appreciated. I pledge to keep up my end of the bargain. Like a good collaborator should. Thank you. </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Greetings and salutations, </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It's me! Your old pal, Rick Fink. I've launched a new website and I'm hoping you will all stick around for my solo portion of our Gorillas' journey. I've been writing tons of songs and getting ready to go back into the studio. Our new website is the first step towards reconnecting with you guys and I hope that if you like it, you will share it and let people know that I am young (ehem), single and ready to mingle! I plan to start updating the blog on a regular basis as well. On Monday we will be launching a crowdfunding campaign on my behalf, so you will have the opportunity to pre-order my upcoming disc, or even have me perform in your home for you and your bestest buddies. Won't that be something? It's just me at this point, so your support means everything. So, how are things, ya big palooka? I wanna see you guys! </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Best wishes, </span></p>

Gee wizz. Golly hell. Holy fuck. I'm 25 already.<br><br>The Gas House Gorillas surpassed its <a contents="$10,000 Indiegogo Campaign" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/help-your-gas-house-gorillas-make-a-record#/story" target="_blank">$10,000 Indiegogo Campaign</a> toward our upcoming album "SHUT UP!" (#SHUTUP, thank you) thanks to friends, family, fans, and a handful of more things that start with "F." We're already digging through long days of mixing, carefully dialing in decibel by decibel, making microincision-like adjustments, and breaking for hoagies - every penny accounted for and working hard.<br><br>First, we breezed through laying down the 14 (or was it 15?) tracks of <em>SHUT UP </em>live in just under 5 hours. Then it off to overdubs and bounces. We clocked thirty hours during the first three-day streak of studio time and getting through it was absolutely moment to moment, fueled only by pure adrenaline, passion, and hoagies. After those three days, going home felt strange. The world was different. I asked myself, "why am I not in a studio? I thought I always in a studio?"<br><br>When I finally came down, I realized what had happened. We'd created something beyond words. Something worth remembering. Something worth sharing. Those three days marked the most impactful musical experience of my - thus far - short life. Rick, Crusher, and Eddie - sometimes when I step away from myself, I can't believe how my life was spun to bring me so close to the most dynamic, inspired, manic, and human brothers on the face of the Earth (I'm thinking about you, too, Jim!). With the help of the wildly disciplined yet encouraging members of <a contents="Big Beat" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/BigBeatJazz" target="_blank">Big Beat</a>, the enthusiasm, care, and talent of <a contents="Adam Vaccarelli of Retromedia Sound Studios" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.retromedia.net/" target="_blank">Adam Vaccarelli of Retromedia Sound Studios</a>, and the old-school touch of Raphael D'Lugoff, we were able to ice our blood-and-boils-cake to perfection. But there's still a ways to go!<br><br>For now, we must return to the stage to celebrate the first of our victories. We're playing at <a contents="Hat City Kitchen" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/events/832726216834297/" target="_blank">Hat City Kitchen</a><a contents="Hat City Kitchen in Orange, NJ this Friday at 8pm." data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/events/832726216834297/" target="_blank"> in Orange, NJ this Friday at 8pm.</a> (Yeah, this was an ad the entire time.)

I would like to thank every person who came out to play on our excursion to a far off land called Colorado, where the weather changes drastically by the second. A magical place where outdoor shows get moved inside, then outside, then inside again. A place where trailers get busted, sleep deprivation makes us loopy and the show must go on! Seriously, thank you to all of the big hearted people who hosted us, supported us and came to our rescue when we needed help, keeping your Gorillas on the road.<br>Great shows and great people! We'll be back!<br><br>Omaha, or more specifically, patrons and staff of the 21st Saloon…What can I say? You are the wind beneath our wings. Yes, our trailer broke down again on the way to the show. Yes, Crusher had to perform with greasy knees as a result. Yes, the man at the front desk at our hotel kept giving Eddie Eggs money every time he passed by. Yes, he went as high as a buck fifty when Eddie obviously was not giving him some unspoken thing that he wanted. Yes, yes, yes!!! In spite of (or because of) all that, your Gorillas had the pleasure of playing a rousing set for some of the sweetest people on the planet! And let us not forget…<br><strong>THERE WAS A ROPE FOR ME TO SWING ON! </strong><br>Killer. We <strong>WILL</strong> see you soon, Omaha.<br><br>Then came the twenty hour drive to NJ.<br>Piece of cake.<br><br>We got our required three hours of sleep and then rocked the Kiddy Stage at the very un-Rock & Roll hour of 11 am at Micheal Arnone's Crawfish Festival in Augusta, NJ. Despite the hour, your Gorillas had the pleasure of rocking the faces off of a great crowd that included a healthy number of Gorilla fans as well as a smattering of newbies (a.k.a new Gorilla fans)!<br>This is one of the best festivals on the planet and the Gas House Gorillas where honored to be a part of it.<br><br>This week we are coming to Ohio and Pennsylvania.<br>See you soon!<br><br>Yer pal,<br>Rick</span></div> Rick Finktag:rickfinkforreal.com,2005:Post/37109702015-05-19T16:38:13-04:002017-02-04T19:19:44-05:00Tour Dates!!!<span style="color: rgb(207, 242, 7);

While most of the fair grounds were still closed or in the process of opening up, they were enough to get me real excited for our set at the festival on May 30th. But there's a long way to go before the 30th. One week from today, we depart on the 1,700 mile, 28 hour journey to Colorado. We made the same trip last year and - while the shows were a blast - it was a real ass kicker. We all came back sick and droopy-eyed but it was worth it.

However, time and practice allowed the breadth of a new outlook to settle into focus and showed us how fresh and alive our new circumstances truly were. Now, we're finally ready to let fans take the one-two-rock-thrashing home so we can spill our guts all over their living room carpets. We've dragged some of these new tunes all over the country, testing them out on unsuspecting listeners and weathering them into the raucous bastards they are now. So when we hit the studio this June, it'll be up to us to capture that unbridled, manic punk essence on tape and keep fans raging in their cars and on the dance floor for years to come.<br><br>SmileyRick Finktag:rickfinkforreal.com,2005:Post/36506672015-04-09T23:13:51-04:002017-01-14T10:10:14-05:00Gorillas at the V!<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/34547/360b960e9c47240bc12f276b5c1c0aaea9464915/large/v-poster-4-12-15.jpg?1428629889" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/34547/4788deaccf744d1fbcd96c7b8990fac63bfe2126/large/roxy-and-dukes-living-deads-show-aprill-2015.jpg?1426207749" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/34547/d4c960c1e8cbe4595245c8f14a056c90598c4ca2/large/pig-roast-2015.jpg?1426207717" class="size_xl justify_center border_none" alt="" />Rick Finktag:rickfinkforreal.com,2005:Post/34074232014-12-16T22:59:36-05:002014-12-16T22:59:36-05:00This will warm the cockles of your humbug heart... <div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="font_xl"><br>Swing Dancers. Two words that inspire a whole array of feelings. We here at GHG happen to have a great affinity for our swinging brethren and sisteren. As a matter of fact, we appreciate that whole whacky crazy swing dancer culture. Some find it cult like, but not your Gorillas. We think it's precious. As American as Jim Nabors and pork rinds. When they start speaking in colorful "swing jive" colloquialisms such as, "Beat me, Daddy, with a big fat stick," or "What you talkin' 'bout, Willis"…hahaha…Well, we think that's just great. We also love those totally hep swing fashions, with the men all decked out in their spats and frilly underwear, or the ladies looking resplendent in their high top sneakers and head gear. We also dig all those amazing steps the swing kids are doing these days, such as the Hesitation, the Spastic Colon and the Lindy Loo. Amazing. This Saturday is just for you, Swing Dancers. Your Gorillas love you long time. <br><br>Saturday, November 15th @ 7:30 pm<br><a data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1564780930401607/?ref_dashboard_filter=upcoming" style="color: rgb(206, 240, 11);" target="_blank">Ballroom On High</a><br>310 E High St</span></div>

A day like no other before or since. For you see, Gorilla Friends, today was the day that the greatest saxophone player on the face of the Earth came into being.<br>That's right, <em>Copernicus</em>, I'm talking about our own lovely and vivacious Jim Davis! Sixty sum odd years ago, away in a manger (there was no room at the inn), wrapped in swaddling something or other, in the bustling metropolis of Stinkfinger, Massachusetts our little Jimmy could be found suckling everything that wasn't nailed down. <br>Born with a sax in his hand, a song in his heart and an eye for the ladies, our Jim has been honking like the dickens ever since. <br>Happy Birthday, Jim Davis.<br>Saxophone aficionado. Philosopher. Renaissance Man. Hawker of merchandise.<br>God of the woodwinds. <br>Jim Davis.</span></span></div><br><span style="font-size: 2em;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/411188239022657/" style="color: rgb(206, 240, 11);" target="_blank"><img src="https://ci6.googleusercontent.com/proxy/W4YGlFIKVpsfR4Mu2W-xcivOdPwjcE3UFTxhUqa7AcKEbKIPkJV4MHnfV7bmKjzXBYXvWfmqcT_ZKLz2Y7xXkyf8RGk26CBallpkkkTiZUHf2SZXVwVzdOLvFUXYJqSIIP1k46xyVtSnOdZWTJiE0wxMebfoIMnU5mo4bB7PhPmsqWxc5gJHDgRRXNnT2kRuRJNv8MkDN2Q8=s0-d-e1-ft#http://d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/34547/c9e473f739106acb6595c4733dd730d8162f1af6/medium/tip-top-6-14.jpg?1401405805" class="size_orig justify_none border_" alt="" style="display: block; margin: 0.5em auto; width: 300px;" /></a></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 2em; background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </span>

Someday your children or your children's children, or (if you are really damn old) your children's children's children will ask you where you were on this day.<br>
An historic occasion that will be etched into the brainpan of every generation of Gorilla fan on the face of the earth for all eternity. A day that will live in infamy and cling to the collective psyche like a booger.<br>
For on this Tuesday 30 July 2013 a musical manifesto was unleashed on the world that has hitherto never been hithered before...<br>
Today, my furry friends, "<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/punk-americana/id671099292" target="_new">PUNK AMERICANA</a>" has dropped (as the kids say).<br>
How good is it?<br>
You remember Sergeant Pepper? Pet Sounds? Kind of Blue? Beethoven's Symphony No. 9?<br><br><b>CRAP!!!</b><br><br>
Here is what Daniel Glass (world class drummer for Brian Setzer Orchestra) had to say:<br>
"Just listened to 'Punk Americana,' and totally dug it! On their new CD, the Gas House Gorillas have brought their own stamp to the roots genre, weaving together an amazingly broad blend of styles and vibes, all backed by an insane amount of energy and enthusiasm. In the first few songs alone, I heard elements of swing, rockabilly, classic R&B, country, lounge, punk and ska. Somehow, they manage to weave it all together so that the sound remains their own. Great job!"<br><br>
He also said that he would now have to quit the business, because the new Gorillas' album was the greatest thing ever recorded and would never be topped.<br>
Okay...I made that last thing up.<br><br><b>BUY OUR ALBUM!!! {:8())-</b><br><br>

We here at The Gas House Gorillas are very concerned about the youth of today. With all of their fancy shmancy texting and such, it's a wonder that they still can find the time to stare at a television screen.<br>
Now, you can go ahead and call us old fashioned (no, go ahead…call us that...we're waiting), but the thought of those kids never knowing the wonder of a Gas House Gorillas' performance is more than these five idiots can bare.<br>
I know what you're thinking. "Yeah right. Big talker. Those Gorillas are too busy being devastatingly handsome and disarmingly brilliant to ever take notice of anyone but themselves, let alone a bunch of little kids." True.<br>
But every so often one of us will stand up and say, "What about the children?"<br>
At which point we will usually throw food and laughingly reply with things like,<br>
"Sit down ya jerk!" or "What are ya, stoopit???"<br>
…but not this time, Hansil. Not this time...<br>
This time (after the food was gone) our esteemed colleague Jim was heard to utter in a moment of clarity,<br>
"Why don't we pick a random school at the Jersey Shore and put on a wiz bang of a swell show for those little urchins?"<br>
We looked on with wonder at our trusted companion and whispered tentatively in unison,<br>
"Will we get paid?"<br>
Jim said, "Yes." and we all got a warm fuzzy feeling.<br>
Three cheers for Jim…shut up.<br><br>
Now we are well aware that most of you losers (of course I don't mean you) will not be able to attend this show unless you are between the ages of five and twelve and a student of said school.<br>
Not to worry, Methuselah. We have a solution.<br><br>
On Saturday at the ungodly hour of 11 am your Gorillas will be waking up at Michael Arnone’s Crawfish Festival! Yay!!! Bring coffee.<br><br>
On Friday tune in to Big Frank's Blues Kitchen on WFDU 89.1 Fm at 1 pm and hear Rick Fink talking smack and playing new songs from the Gorillas' upcoming Lanark release, "Punk Americana". Thank you, Frank Mirra! {:8())-<br><br>

Ladies and Genitals,<br><br>
If any of our dear friends out there signed up for this newsletter a long time ago and you are just receiving your first one now...<br>
I will not lie to you...<br>
That's right, People. It takes a big man to admit responsibility, and I plan to do just that. Right here and now.<br><br>
You see...it was all Crusher's fault.<br>
He told me not to include you! I wanted to desperately! He wouldn't let me! Such a cruel heartless bastard! Imagine depriving one such as yourself the chance to connect with the greatest band on the face of the earth, the Gas House Gorillas!<br>
He is an evil monster!!! A vile contemptible ogre!<br>
Now, if you talk to him I'm sure he'll say something like, "Rick forgot to enter your info."<br><br>
Yeah right. Like I would ever do THAT.<br><br>
It's a lie!!! A loathsome fabrication from a desperate cretin with a Napoleon complex!<br><br>
Okay...I did forgot some of you.<br><br>
All of you actually.<br><br>

We here at Gas House Gorillas have been rather troubled as of late. You see, Boys & Girls...we just happen to believe in a little thing called tradition. Yeah, that's right...he's going there.<br>
Rampant commercialism has tainted my beloved holiday with flashy images of a fat man in red pajamas and glowing plastic reindeer spewing their snow covered propaganda to a dumbed down constituancy, too dulled on Devil Dogs, cheese and grape soda to care. <br>
Free toys for all you say?<br>
Sounds like a little thing called Socialism to me.<br>
I'll purchase my own toys, thankyouverymuch.<br>
Every year the holiday season comes and goes and yours truly just keeps his mouth shut. "Don't make waves." I tell myself, "It's not that big a deal."<br>
Well it is to me!<br>
Where may one find true holiday spirit, Mr. Scrooge?<br>
Where must one go, for a return to the holiday cheer that once made this nation great?<br>
Can it be found at a parade?<br>
No, you numbskull.<br>
At a festive family gathering perhaps?<br>
Are you high?<br>
No, Tiny Tim...there is only one place to find the real meaning of the holiday.<br>
The Blue Comet...<br>
(wait for it)<br>
with THE GAS HOUSE GORILLAS!!!<br>
Word is that Santa will have a gift for you.<br>
It's a toys for tots drive, Virginia.<br>
So bring an unopened toy for a kid who needs one and stop being such a cranky-pants for once.<br>

Had he lived he'd have probably performed a medley with Christina Aguilera and Furgie at the Superbowl halftime show.<br>
They would have kicked it off with a gorgeous rendition of "Beautiful". Following with "Let Me Stand Next to your Fire", featuring the Foo Fighters and a rap that paid special tribute to all of our beloved "first responders" by 50 Cent. <br>
Of course, the big finish would have been “Tonight's Gonna Be a Good Night”.<br>
Jimi would have played a fiery solo over the pulsing synthetic groove of that last one. He would have been surrounded by painted up blonde girls wearing hot pants and go go boots. The girls would have danced over the top renditions of popular 60's steps that would have seemed quaint and adorable.<br><br>
There would be a giant peace sign above the stage right below the Budweiser logo. Jimi would conclude with the Star Spangled Banner and there would be not a dry eye in the house...<br>
(deep sigh)<br>
We miss ya, Jimi. You could have been Mickey Mouse. {:8())-</span>

The voice of Sally Struthers:<br><br>
"Each night, little Emanuel is forced to sleep on a bed of rusty nails in a tiny shoebox after being fed a meal of broken glass and scrap metal. He is beaten several times a day with a tire iron when he is not being kicked around the house like some sort of yelping soccer ball. His eyes are considered a delicacy in places like Staten Island and so will be plucked from his adorable little skull to be sold on the black market. Those ears will make a fine pair of ashtrays for some upper crust fish head with a keen eye for the finer things and a hacking cough that would make Lucille Ball cringe. Look at that sad dejected little fella...sniff...(voice quivering)…what kind of a selfish depraved cretin would allow this innocent to come to such harm? You CAN make a difference, you know.

<span style="font-size: x-large;">We,The Gas House Gorillas, had a great trip down south this past week. In the words of our own Eddie Eggs via Facebook yesterday:<br><br>
"I just got back from The Gas House Gorillas tour....Thursday was Pomeroy, Ohio- Always a good time at The Court St Grill..Friday we survived 6 lugs coming off our tire,a snake and a vulture and still made it to Nashville,Tennesee to The Blues and Boogie Bar! Great staff, made some new fans and met our booking agent Crystal Crawford....Saturday we played a juke joint in Tallahasee, Florida that was on the chitlin circuit back in the day. Awesome crowd, cool place and we did a radio broadcast....Sunday we did a gig in Sebastian, Florida at Earls Hideaway. Another great crowd, new fans, excellent sound man... I love this band and my Gretsch drums...Goodnight Sweethearts."<br><br>
We love Eddie...and we love you! Well, some of you...<br><br>

We are really looking forward to making new friends down there.<br>
Despite our gruff demeanor, we are actually a swell bunch of guys. No really. For instance, when Crusher says "Shut up" to an audience member...he's kidding. No really. When Rick makes a snide remark to a particular person who seems less than enthused by the idea of singing along with the rest of us...kidding. Seriously, Folks. When some half-baked simpleton, who has obviously been to a few of our shows, so should really know better, but nonetheless decides to waste two minutes of our precious time in order to inquire as to whether we would be so inclined as to play that stupid Van Morrison song that we've all heard ad nausea time and time again on those awful Classic Rock radio stations, who act as if it's the only song this guy has ever recorded, never mind the fact that the man still continues to record new material to this day, is greeted with a resounding unison chorus of<br>
"What? F___k off, ya jerk!"...<br>
Kidding, kidding, kidding.<br>
We LOVE that guy!<br>
We love EVERYBODY.<br>
Even those that we don't really care for.<br>
We, that is The Gas House Gorillas, are people guys.<br>
C'mon out and give us a hug!<br>

The door opens and Joe Gorilla breezes in, ignoring me completely. I lie in waiting, arms and hands tied together like some helpless steer waiting to be marked by his red hot poker. Placing his hat on the large chest beside the door, he walks on his knuckles casually toward the bed. I indulge myself in a quick glimpse at him and my heart almost lurches to a gag reflex. He's naked except for that kilt, top button casually undone. Flies buzzing over head. Devil may care demeanor. <i>Jeez, he looks so freaking furry. Kind of disgusting, but in a sexy way. What a beast!</i> My subconscious is frantically fanning herself, and my inner goddess is swaying and writhing to some clichéd primal carnal rhythm, like something you'd imagine an inner goddess would writhe to. She's so ready. I lick my lips instinctively. He licks his. My blood pounds through my body, thick and heavy with salacious juiciness.<i> What is he going to do to me?</i><br><br>
Turning, he nonchalantly waddles back to the chest of drawers. Opening one, he pulls out a bunch of bananas. My curiosity burns, blazes even as he pulls one ripe banana from the bunch. He comes to stand in front of me, like a hairy god or some other ridiculous metaphor. I see the yellow fruit in his hand and want to eat every inch of it. He begins to peel it, one strand at a time, pausing every so often, as if I weren't even there. <i>What a tease! </i>He then eats the banana, belches in my general direction, farts, and climbs out the window. <i>Hot!</i><br><br>

When you see your Gorillas jumping, we are in fact having fun. <br>
You remember fun. <br>
Fun is the the thing you don't have when you go see that Muddy Waters tribute band from the mean streets of Summit, NJ. <br>
When you get Purell in a paper cut...not fun.<br>
People who tend to frequent Star Trek conventions and nude beaches (for the most part)...not fun.<br>
Jumping, on the other hand...fun...fun...and more fun. <br>
Just ask a five year old. <br>
The Gas House Gorillas know how to jump! <br>
Hence, my dear Watson, we know how to have fun.<br>
Come out and get a lesson, Sourpuss.<br>
And put your "fun" face on!<br>
You know, the one with the smile on it.<br>
Not to worry. <br>

Ten years ago, having been bitten by a radioactive gorilla, Rick Fink developed strange powers far beyond those of mortal men. Among his new abilities was the power to climb festival scaffolding and jump into crowds of people. All the while, never losing his hat. At first horrified at his overnight transformation (especially his urge to peel bananas with his feet) Fink made a vow to use his newfound Gorillaness only for good. He formed a group of like minded superheroes. Together they would travel far and wide to fight the forces of evil, while entertaining the lowly masses.<br>
They called themselves GAS HOUSE GORILLAS.<br><br>
Crusher Carmean - Changing from a mild mannered little troglodyte into a kilt wearing foul mouthed avenger by the power of the word "masturbation". Crusher is able to leap medium sized aluminum basses in a couple of tries. Our hero can drive the orneriest heckler to a tearful fetal position with a single quip using his super atomic king sized loud mouth! He also plays the bass.<br><br>
Seltzer Jim Davis - Millionaire by day, crime fighting sax player by night. You do the math.<br><br>
Eddie Eggs Everett - Fortified by EGG POWER, Eddie has been on a crusade against evil for more than 3,000 years using powers bestowed by six different gods and heroes, utilizing the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles and the milk of Magnesia. Oh…he also plays the drums.<br><br>
Last but not least...<br><br>
Stu Newman - The true brains of this outfit. Donning his signature lab coat, clipboard in hand, Stu navigates every step of the Gorillas' ongoing crusade against evil promoters and stodgy Swing Nazis, without leaving the confines of the Gorillas' Secret Fortress of Breaking Wind. Um…guitar.<br><br>
Together they form the Gas House Gorillas.<br>
Wherever there is injustice, you will find them... wherever there is suffering, they will be there... wherever there is a free buffet…well…you know…<br>

Dear concerned citizens of Earth,<br>
I may not speak for all of you, but I (for one) have had quite enough of a certain bass player's offensive verbiage. It's not enough that the man can't be seen onstage in a decent pair of pants, his foul language is a full frontal attack on all that is pure and sacred. Last Friday, everyone was having a great time, feeling good, laughing, dancing, drinking in full Gorilla mode, when they were blindsided by the utterance of a word so horribly unspeakable that the very thought of it fills me with so much revulsion that it makes me want to wretch. Heads exploded. Children cried. A nation mourned for the days of decency and propriety. God cried up in his heaven. Oh the humanity!!! That terrible evil word was...was...<br>
"masturbation." <br>
Oh the horror! I'm sorry if anyone was injured out there in Gorilla Land by the sight of that loathsome word, but I thought it necessary to illustrate the auditory abuse that was visited upon those poor Gorilla fans that were in attendance by Satan’s own Crusher Carmean. For shame, Crusher. For shame. <br>
What? <br>
No, he didn't do it. He just said it. <br>
Is that not enough??? <br>
And so in the interest of putting this vile obscene incident behind us…<br><br>
this Saturday’s show will be a family friendly event.<br>
There will be no mention of masturbation. <br>
Your loss...<br><br>

The road is a harsh mistress. She has taken many a fine band in her time. She can be unrelentingly cruel. She will take you places you never thought you would go. Dark places. She will make you tired and confused with her wily ways. She will make you doubt the reason you ever started this journey in the first place. She will draw you in only to reject you out of hand. She will criticize you in front of your friends. She will tear the beating heart from your chest, fry it up and eat it with a fork and knife. Let's face it. The road is a bitch.<br>

We have been through much together and I have always thought of each and every one of you as...well...family. With that in mind, I have decided that the time has come for yours truly to come clean, as it were. To give you fans a small glimpse into the psyche of one Rick Fink. I'm sure that you are all thinking about what a brave choice this was for one such as myself to make, and you would be right. The thing is, I'm doing this for all of the youngsters out there. That they might learn a thing or two from their old Uncle Rick. A thing or two about honor and character...About bravery and selflessness. With that in mind...<br><br>
The formation of this band was nothing more than a pathetic attempt by an insecure little insect to be recognized as something more than the insignificant weasel that he himself knew himself to be. A cry for recognition from a tiny weak willed narcissistic worm, without the backbone to stand up on his own two feet and proclaim, "I am!" A cold weak-kneed sideshow freak, without any firsthand knowledge or experience of love and respect from a fellow human being. A deadbeat, user, douche-bag, low life slug who couldn't get attention from the opposite sex if he were to enter a brothel with a thousand bucks sticking out of his ear. A loser, cretin, ugly flake with a Jesus complex...<br>
The kind of jerk who would mix metaphors in a Gas House Gorillas' newsletter.<br><br>
I'm kidding of course.<br><br>
I'm a Goddamn good lookin' man!!!<br><br>
You know I'm right, Bitches!<br><br>

Greetings Gorillaphiles!<br>
I would like to start off this installment of THE GAS HOUSE GORILLAS' NEWSLETTER by offering my heartfelt apologies to those of you who signed up for the mailing list only to be added weeks or (in some cases) months later. It takes a big man to admit that he has made a mistake. With that in mind, I would just like to unequivocally state (for the record) that this whole thing was Jim's fault. Whew! I'm so glad I got that off my chest! On to new business...<br><br>
This weekend, Ladies and Genitals, your Gorillas will be loading up the Gorillamobile and heading south to the land of moonshine and sexiness!!! Will Southern Ohio or Kentucky ever be the same??? You be the judge, Cletus! What? That's not your name? So shoot me...WAIT!!! I should never say that in the south.<br><br>
WE LOVE OHIO AND KENTUCKY AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO PLAYING FOR OUR FRIENDS DOWN THERE!!!<br><br>
Come out and be part of the mayhem, Bobby Joe! What? That's not your name? So shoot me...WAIT!!!

Wouldn't you like to see the greatest lineup that the Gas House Gorillas have ever had?<br>
You can, Matilda. Can I call you Matilda? I know that's not your name...Matilda.<br>
I digress...<br>
This Saturday you can be thrilled by the fiery frenetic fretwork of Stu Newman! Move to the magnificently masterful monster grooves of the maniacal Eddie Everett. Be carried away by the salaciously sexy snake charming saxophone of Mr. Jim Davis! Be blown to bits by the bodacious bombardment of bombastic bassery being plucked by the digits of Crusher Carmean.<br>
Rick Fink will be there too.<br>
So come on out and be part of the fun!<br>
We expect to see you & you & especially you...not so much you...Aw hell...YOU TOO!!!<br>
There will be new songs, new friends, new attitude, new newiness!!! That's a new word!!!<br><br>

My speech to the band five weeks ago at rehearsal:<br><br>
"All right, now, Gorillas. Simmer down, and listen to me. Tomorrow morning, we're gonna start a show. A real hum dinger of a show! Only that kind of show don't come cheap, see? You mugs are gonna rehearse for five weeks and we're gonna open at Roxy & Duke's on scheduled time. (I point forcefully at my bandmates) - And I mean scheduled time. You're gonna work and sweat and work some more. You're gonna work days and you're gonna work nights. And you're gonna work between time when I think you need it. You're gonna dance until your feet fall off and you're not able to stand up any longer. BUT five weeks from now, we're going to have a show! Now, some of you Gorillas have been with me before (A knowing glance at Crusher). You know it's gonna be a tough grind. (I pound the table for effect. Did I not mention there was a table? There was a table.) It's gonna be the toughest five weeks that you ever lived through. Do you all get that? Now anybody who doesn't think he's gonna like it had better quit right now (I glare at Eddie). What do I hear? Nobody? ( Jim starts for the door) Jim! Sit yer fanny down and stop all that rigermarol. Good. Then that's settled. We start tomorrow morning. Any questions? Stu? (I sigh in disgust) Yes. There will be cake. (A cheer goes up in the rehearsal room)"<br><br>

Excuse me.<br><br>
Ladies and Gerbils,<br><br>
It being the holiday season and all, I felt compelled to reach out to all of our little friends in Gorilla land, much as I have done in seasons past.<br>
Another busy year under our belts and I (for one) am looking forward to what 2012 will bring for all of us.<br>
We've been all over the country, making new friends where ever we go. You, dear reader, can consider yourself a part of our Gorilla extended family. Just don't ask to borrow any money.<br><br>
This year we added the great Noel Sagerman to our ranks....we experienced the departure of our good friend Jerry "the chicken" Scaringe and the return of wayward Gorilla lunatic and fellow founding member Crusher Carmean.<br><br>
Please join us on New Years Eve at the Wonder Bar, where we will be shaking the rafters and dragging the new year in kicking and screaming!<br><br>
I've said it before...<br>
If you have danced to us, sang with us, shouted at us, followed us, hired us, fired us, loved us, hated us, listened to us, laughed with/at us, been the brunt of our jokes, or allowed us to be a part of your life in any way...<br><br>
You have have my deepest respect and gratitude.<br>
Thank you for being in our family.<br><br>
Love,<br><br>

During his short tenure with us, Jerry has been the backbone of our little organization. In that time he has worked hard, played hard and provided us with more laughs than most anyone we have ever worked with. If you have not done so, we implore you to check out his band the Slippery Chickens. Godspeed, Jerry. May your feathers never be ruffled and may you always remain a free-range chicken! <br><br>
That brings us to our next piece of business.<br><br>
There have been many great duos in the pantheon of popular culture. Lennon and McCartney. Simon and Schuster. Damon and Runyon. Tom and Jerry. Fred and Ethel. Son of Sam and...well...Sam! <br>
The list goes on, my furry friends. <br>
Check that list and you will find another legendary partnership. <br>
A partnership of the greatest magnitude. <br>
A partnership forged in the hearts of the teeming masses and forever immortalized by the immortality of the immensely immortal talent of these mortals. <br><br>
On that list...NAY!...AT THE TOP OF THAT LIST you will find the names CRUSHER and RICK. <br><br>
Well, actually Rick and Crusher has a better ring, but I digress...<br><br>

This week there will be only one chance to watch your Gorillas make a mockery of all that is sacred and proper! <br>
Join The Gas House Gorillas as they raise the proverbial roof at the Rodeo Bar this Saturday!<br><br>
On Friday (a night off for yours truly), you will find me (along with some other Gorillas) at the Robin's Nest in Linden, NJ. "Why?" you ask? Well, it's not because it's New Jersey's only viable jook joint (although it is). It's because our favorite Delaware Rockabilly band in the entire world will be there!!! "Who?" you ask (though it really should be "whom")?<br>
? <br>
THE BULLETS WILL BE THERE, YA CRAZY NUT!!! <br><br>
Let's give these guys a proper New Jersey welcome, cause they are the real deal after all.<br><br>
So be there!!! And on Saturday come see us at The Rodeo Bar...please...<br><br>

A bowling alley. But not just any bowling alley...IT'S ASBURY LANES!!! There will be dancing and drinking and Lenny Lounge will be djing and the Gorillas will be yucking it up with the locals...oh...there will be bowling.<br><br>

If you only go to one show this weekend (and THE GAS HOUSE GORILLAS will only be playing one show, so where else could you possibly be going?) the Gorillas will be bringing the noise to The Twisted Tail in "The City of Brotherly Love" Philadelphia, Pa. We've been told that we have a few fans down that way, so I think it only proper that our Pa friends show up and be counted. Okay??? Sorry, Kids. Uncle Rick isn't feeling very funny tonight after our big blow out in the Midwest a couple of days ago. I can assure you that I will be up to full speed on Saturday! Will you?<br><br>

<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/34547/93398c38d3655586ae9356218def138ea6fc976d/large/sad-rick.jpg?1377779918" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="423" width="600" /> <br>
My f<span style="font-size: large; ">riends, I would like to share with you a great lesson that I learned this past weekend. Saturday morning I awoke with sort of an empty feeling inside. We'd played a smokin' show in Hartford, CT, but I'm not going to lie to you, the road was starting to take its toll on yours truly. See, we'd been out there for a full day and I was now lookin' down the barrel of the business end of a forty minute drive to New Haven. Just the thought of it made my bones weary. With only eight hours of sleep and no end in sight, I finished my poached eggs and choked down my mimosa. I knew that I would need the calories for the long stretch ahead. I grabbed my Louis Vuitton bags and checked out of the Presidential Suite at the Ritz-Carlton. I heaved a heavy sigh as we all crowded into the stretch limo and prepared ourselves for the marathon that lay ahead. <br><br>
I missed my family, my life, my freedom. <br><br>
Seltzer Jim, sensing my dark state of mind inquired, <br>
"What's eatin' at you, Rick (he sometimes calls me Rick)?" <br><br>
"Oh, nothing, Jim (I sometimes call him Jim). I think the 1988 Perrier Jouet Fleur didn't agree with me last night," I offered, "Hey, maybe I'm just sick of super models, oh I don't know..." <br><br>
But Seltzer Jim Davis is a man of deep spiritual depth and would not be held at arm’s length by my weak response. He knew. He got it. Just then, this man...this philosophical soothsayer...this mystic of the open road said something to me that would change my life forever. A pearl of wisdom that I will take with me to my grave. He said the following:<br><br>
"Ricky boy (he sometimes calls me Ricky boy), the road is a harsh mistress...so <br>
SNAP THE F**K OUT OF IT, YOU F**KING CREAMPUFF!!! <br>
You gonna eat them fish eggs, Nancy Boy?"<br><br>
God bless you, Seltzer Jim. God bless you. <br>

Greetings Slackjaw!<br><br>
Once again your Gorillas are loading up the Gorilla Mobile and heading out on the open road in search of fun and adventure! <br>
This time out we have spared no expense, Ladies and Genitals. <br>
Just look! <br>
We've got the affable and genteel Seltzer Jim Davis (our designated driver). <br>
If that doesn't melt your butter, we've got the tenacious terminator of frowning faces, Jerry "the chicken" Scaringe (our designated drinker). <br>
Unimpressed??? <br>
Cynic. <br>
Well, check this out, Sadsack...<br>
You would be wise to thrill to the melodious musical meanderings of one Dean Shot (our designated activity coordinater). <br>
I'm not done yet!!! <br>
We have the enigmatic yet punctual Noel Sagerman (our designated new guy) to put a little bounce in your gait, Gate! <br>
And as if all of that wasn't enough to get you hot under your knickers...<br>
Top it all off with the cacophonous warblings of Dr. Rick Fink (our designated designator). <br>
It's going to be off the hook, Matilda! <br>
So we hope to see many of you out there, with a thesaurus in one hand and an alchoholic beverage in the other.<br><br>
Cheers!<br><br>

Feel the pride well up within you as you are reminded of the terrible sacrifices that God's favorite Rhythm & Blues band have had to endure, so that regular Joes such as yourself could remain entertained. <br><br>
They don’t climb on bars in Communist China, Jack! <br>
Nor could a rubber chicken have been duct taped to a mic stand anywhere in the Kremlin!<br><br>
That's right, John Adams! Only in America!<br><br>
God bless The Gas House Gorillas. They are as American as pancakes and internet porn. <br><br>

Join your Gorillas as they make memorial day weekend memorable! Jerry is bringing his chicken! <br><br>
Friday night promises to be our usual barn burner at New Jersey's only jook joint The Robin's Nest in Linden, NJ! The Robin's Nest is the best thing that has ever hit Linden. Thriving metropolis that it is...(sarcastic aside), but I digress... Be assured that it is one of our favorite venues in the wold! Get there early for a spot, because the place fills up quick.<br><br>
Saturday The Gas House Gorillas will be joined on stage by the great and powerful <a target="_new" href="http://www.saxgordon.com/">Sax Gordon</a> at the Bayou N' Boogie Festival in Rehobeth, Massachusetts!!! Yay!!!<br>
It's good to be a Gorilla, don't you think?<br><br>

Welcome to our brand new website. This is where you can check in from time to time just to see what God's favorite Rhythm & Blues band are up to. You could download some music perhaps. Maybe look at some pictures. Check out the calender to see when the Gorillas will be coming to your town! Tell us how much you love us in our guestbook. Join our email list! Do something for Pete's sake! Can't you see how we've been killing ourselves for your approval??? Please love us!!! At any rate, I want you to think of this as kind of a home away from home. An alternative to internet porn, if you will.<br>
