If you have ever seen any of TBVL's previous shows, then you KNOW that frontman Gamma Raye really gives you your money's worth!! This artist takes us into a place where we confront reality mixed with societal hypocrisy. If you ever feel like "fitting in" is an uphill battle, then TBVL will awaken you to things you need to know. The greatest charm from this band is their ability to delve into dark humor and campiness. Listeners are not only entertained, but somewhat enlightened in an irreverant way. Style: Creepy Psycho Industrial Surf Goth! Persona: "The Munsters meet Batman directed by Quentin Tarantino".
A surf rock answer to Marilyn Manson? Stranger things have happened… IF K's were given on the basis of band names alone, The Blessed Virgin Larry, the brainchild of corpse-painted, besuited madman and Kansas City, Missouri native Gamma Raye, would be proud owners of a 5K review off the bat. With its wryly cheesy electronic beats, surf rock guitars and The Addams Family - 60s-style horror goth theatrics, is what really makes Gamma Raye’s sophomore album ‘TVBL’ such an intriguing proposition is just how different it sounds to pretty much everything else around. Some of this is just plain silly, for sure. But on the whole, from the eerie crooning and slide guitar of ‘I’m Killing You’ to the ‘80s goth’n’glitter glamfest of ‘Son Of A Bitch’, ‘TVBL’ is one bizarre party album you don’t want to pass you by.
