Tours: Gorilla Biscuits (Italy)

Contributed by inagreendase. Posted by adam on Sunday, June 17, 2007 at 12:00 PM (EDT)

Influential hardcore act Gorilla Biscuits will play a trio of shows in Italy this September. The band will appaer in Roncade at the New Age Club on the 20th, in Rome at Alpheus on the 21st and in Rimini at Velvet on the 22nd.

Formed in the 1980s, the band helped define upbeat melodic hardcore and has been cited as a singular influence by a generation of hardcore bands. Guitarist Walter Schreifels' went on to form a succession of respected acts including Quicksand, Rival Schools, and Walking Concert. Frontman Anthony "Civ" Civorelli formed CIV, and drummer Sammy Siegler performed with a number of acts including Glassjaw and Nightmare of You.

Late last year, the band released a limited edition, remastered version of their classic album Start Today.

They uploaded two new songs onto myspace ages ago but after they realised everyone hated them as they were absolute shit they took them down.

Someone (June 17, 2007)

fuck the haters, i liked those songs.

You list Artreyu and Avenged Sevenfold as your favorite bands. Obviously you'll think GB sounds like shit if you like those ridiculous posers.

they had a limted edition 7" on the last tour...it was $10 at the shows(understandably to say fuck you to the people buying it to sell on the internet...but also kinda screwed the people legitimately buy it for themselves). I bought one, songs are rather forgetable poppy and weird sounding...if they did a "reunion record" I'd probably still buy it.
PS second CIV record has a few gems on it.

they also refused to sell them to people at the shows who didn't seem like they were "down with the core". such a dick move, but thats awesome.

Someone (June 17, 2007)

How can you tell when someones not "down with the core"? They only sold it to kids with a band shirt and nike shoes on?

Someone (June 17, 2007)

lip piercings?

Someone (June 17, 2007)

actually, they didn't sell them to them to the jerk-offs who told the merch guy they were just gonna re-sell them on e-bay.

Someone (June 20, 2007)

sucks for those dudes, those things are going for like 75 dollars on e-bay.

Someone (June 17, 2007)

Second CIV was absolutely horiffic. First one was amazing.

Someone (June 20, 2007)

I thought At The Matinee was actually good. It had some cool lyrics. Knee Deep In An Ocean of hate? Not so much.

Someone (June 17, 2007)

Band sucks.....NEXT!

Someone (June 17, 2007)

This is part of the European tour their tour booker threatened to cancel because various punk e-zines reported on the shows before they were 'officially announced'. pathetic

Someone (June 17, 2007)

What's up with the "Graffiti" banner at the bottom of the main page?

Someone (June 17, 2007)

gorilla biscuits in your fucking head

Finalmente accade qualcosa di buono in quel cazzo di paese !!!

Didn't one of their drummers play in Limp Bizkit or some other equally awful rap-/nu-metal band?

Sammy was hired to play on their last record.

Cos (June 17, 2007)

Yesssssssssssssssssssss!

Someone (June 18, 2007)

Why talk about Sammy Siegler? Lukey Luke is the one that's been on most of their records, and he's the one doing the reunion.

Someone (June 18, 2007)
