Now Enocky is back with his one-man-band, playing Buddy Holly, garage rock, and other tuneful yet raw songs that truck drivers would love. The hit of the recent Ponderosa Stomp in Memphis!

Review: "Dog is fucking brilliant. A NO-FI mix of cheap distorted guitars attempting rock & roll licks, crap drum machines, broken pianos & French blokes a-whooping, a-coughing & a-mumbling.

2pm MEMPHIS MARY Bloody Mary Party
& End Of GonerFest Festivities
at Goner Store
Enjoy one last, low-key event with us! Free!
Music from HARLAN T BOBO & ROCKIN' ENOCKY
Harlan T Bobo has recorded one album he self-released, later re-released on Goner Records, Too Much Love, an acknowledged masterpiece of life & lost love. Sounds corny but it's not. He's since done music for Showtime's Sexual Healing show and has safely stored his second album under his bed until it is time for it to be finished. His closing of Gonerfest 2 while the power went out on the block, standing on the counter at Goner Records, will not soon be forgotten.
