THE UNEXPECTED RETURN OF EPIC UNDERGROUND POST-HARDCORE PROG BAND GOSPEL

The amazing band Gospel broke up a few years ago, and a number of us have felt the loss. So when it was recently announced that not only has the band reformed, but they have an album’s worth of new material ready to go and they will be playing their first show in three years tomorrow night (for a benefit to help a friend get a new liver) at Union Pool in Brooklyn bloody Brooklyn….well, that was quite the pleasant surprise. Spaketh band member Adam Dooling:

Our original plan was to keep quiet, record the album and just release it quietly. We’ve actually been “reformed” now for about a year. It was important for us to move forward musically and concentrate on writing new material. We didn’t want to put any pressure on ourselves or have anything expected of us. We also didn’t think anyone would really care. So when Matty No-Times (our old roadie and owner of Three Kings Tattoo) got sick, our plans changed to play this benefit show on his behalf. We hope to be recording our next release sometime this March. It will not be on Level-Plane.

You can check out some of Gospel’s mastery here, and info on tomorrow night’s show here.

See ya there!
