The band WILL be playing a rather Monkee heavy set as well as a few 
songs by The Hermits, Queen, Roxy Music and The Red Bobs along with 
their own unique original compositions!

AND BECAUSE YOU!!!! DEMANDED IT … EVEN MORE THEREMIN!!!!!

Some details:
The Gothees are an entertaining and eclectic mix of 
performers-cum-musicians who have a unique and often perverse way of 
slanting the dominant paradigm of rock/pop music or something along 
those lines. Their music may be best described as an unsettling mixture 
of '60s pop distilled with a hint of '80s influences topped with a 
slight pinch of the punk aesthetic. Imagine the bubblegum pop tunes of 
The Monkees and The Archies interpreted by The Velvet Underground with 
Ian Curtis of Joy Division as lead vocalist!

The Story:
The Gothees formed in the fall of 2002 as a 7-piece band featuring 
members (and former members) of The New Pussycats, The Red Bobs and The 
Mount McKinleys for what was expected to be a one-off performance. 
Buoyed by rave reviews and inundated with performance offers, the band 
came into its own after several performances throughout Pittsburgh and 
Cleveland. After several shows as a 7-piece, The Gothees paired down to 
their current 4/5-piece incarnation.

The Future
After countless shows and two live performances on WRCT, 2004 finds The 
Gothees on top of the bubble-goth scene! Having sold out the entire 
pressing of their first CD release "but is it art?" a compilation of 
live tracks recorded in 2003, the band is hard at work on their 
follow-up EP and second live disc. With a burgeoning fan base in Japan, 
the band is in negotiations with labels for a vinyl 7 inch single and 
CD release in 2005.
