Biografía
Consisting of Ian Ball and Ben Ottwell on vocals and guitars, Paul “Blackie” Blackburn on bass, Tom Gray on vocals, guitars and keyboards, and Olly Peacock on drums, synths and computer, Gomez played their first gig in 1996 at the Hyde Park Social Club in Leeds. During the summer of 1996 the band recorded their first demo, which made its way into the hands of manager Stephen Fellows, who helped them distribute the demos out to various record labels. The demo was a success and resulted in a bidding war between a number of record labels, but instead of playing a showcase, the band invited labels to come hear them play in studio.
After playing for over twenty-five labels, the band ultimately signed with Hut Records in September 1997. They immediately got to work on their first album and released “Bring It On” on 13 April 1998. The self-produced album went platinum and helped them win the Mercury Music prize in September 1998. Gomez followed up “Bring It On” with “Liquid Skin” in 1999, which also went on to also go platinum. They went out on tour and made headlining performances for festivals once again.
Unlike their first three albums, Gomez decided to not self-produce their fourth album, “Slit the Difference” which was released in 2004. The album reached the top 40 in both the United Kingdom and Australia. Unfortunately Hut Recordings was shut down, but Gomez was able to be released from their contract with their Hut Recording’s parent company, Virgin/EMI. Despite the label set back, the band continued to find success releasing their seventh studio album, “Whatever’s On Your Mind” on 21 June 2011.

Gomez has always been one of my favorite bands, and put on a killer live show. I saw them perform at St. Andrew's Hall in Detroit, Michigan and I had a great time. The venue had great acoustics and the set that the band played on was very cool. They had a great light show and and stage presence. The band was all dressed in casual clothes but maintained a professional appearance.
The music plus the audience at the venue was an amazing experience. It was very laid back and everybody was super friendly and there to enjoy the music and have a great time. The band has many great songs to sing along to, and on several occasions got the crowd to join along in singing with everybody's favorite songs.
A lot of songs start quiet, then build up slowly into some powerful jams and when the saxophone melodies come in, the vibe is just serene. This band takes pop to a new level and it has been very cool to see this band mature and improve over the years with touring and playing the music to their fans that they love the most. The singers bluesy growl are very warm and make the whole experience quite amazing.
I've seen them twice on the Anniversary Tour this year, and I'm seriously considering another up north when they return! These guys are simply an incredible live band. They're having such a good time with each other and enjoying the music, that the audience can't help but be swept along too. I'm still on a high weeks later! They totally deserve the devotion of their solid fan base.

Absolutely amazing! Brilliant songs that stand the test of time. They have an amazing energy on stage. Loved every second. They can rock really hard and seamlessly revert to very chilled stuff, back and forth. Highly recommended.

I loved the show. I didn’t know many of their songs heading into the show. I was blown away by their talent. Revolution Hall is such a special venue. Apparently reviews must be over thirty words so hopefully this now qualifies

Superb night at Glasgow Barrowlands. Gomez are even better now than they were 20 years ago when Bring It On was released. Just perfect! And their 2nd encore was just a terrific moment - unforgettable.

I saw Gomez in Auckland, NZ many years ago and I still rate their show as one of the best I've ever experienced. I hope to my core that I get to see them perform again someday.
