Tom Gabel - Against Me!

Post by ledbye »

I've had a good search around, but I'd just like to point out Tom Gabel from punk/folk band Against Me! He's been playing Ric 360s on their last three studio and one live album(s).

As well as being a great song writer, the playing of his Ric is unmistakeable. He is a GREAT rhythm player and knows exactly when to play and when to not!

My band in Australia has had the privilege of playing with them twice and he always has a different Ric with him (always 360) so he must have quite a collection. Anyways Ric enthusiasts - check him out!!!

Thanks for the info, Ben! I went to the band's website and listened to New Wave, good stuff!

I really like what I've heard from these guys. I particularly like Turn Those Clapping Hands Into Angry Balled Fists.

No worries! I think New Wave is where the Ric jangle cuts through more than the other albums :)
