SOMETIMES…I get asked questions about bands. Ok, pretty much all the time. But one of my favorite sub-topics of the band convo is “Bands that should’ve made it”. One at the top of my list would have to be Bobgoblin from Denton, TX (and Little Rock).
Chances are good that you may not have heard of these guys as the height of their popularity in the region was mid-late 90′s. They had a record deal. A REAL record deal. But like so many others…it just didn’t work out. And that’s a shame.
BOBGOBLIN was unique in look and backstory. Not many acts have an actual backstory, but Bobgoblin was a band featuring members of the Liberation Front Street Motor Forces – an army from the future. Or something like that. It didn’t necessarily play into the music, but it fit with their Devo-esque look and stage manner.
But the music – man, I LOVE the music. Pop/Punk/Rock/Electro all in one blast. Did it sound like the 80′s? Yeah (and there wasn’t much of that in the 90′s). If you can imagine the best parts of The Cars (pre-Heartbeat City), Cheap Trick, The Pixies, and “Dookie”-era Green Day – then that’s almost as awesome as Bobgoblin’s first CD “JET”.
Unfortunately, it’s very difficult to find the best of Bobgoblin streaming anywhere online – I suppose Universal Music Group still has them tied up in copyright issues. So, what you need to do is go to Lastfm or itunes and download the following now – “Nine”, “Climb”, “Pretty in My Uniform”, “Killer”, “Safe”, …hell, just get the whole “Jet” album, and then get “12 Point Master Plan”.
BOBGOBLIN will be appearing for a reunion performance at Rev Room this saturday night at 9pm (they will play prior to KINGSDOWN). If you have ever wanted to know what I listen to and what I love, then please be here for Bobgoblin. And don’t make fun when you see me singing along

Easily one of the most raved about performances on the Stickyz Stage in 2009 was the November appearance by THE FELIECE BROTHERS. Well, something about November…The Felice Brothers are RETURNING for One Night Only!! Sunday November 14th is when the Little Rock masses will get a chance to see a live performance of the above song “Frankie’s Gun” which is chill-bumpingly good in a Dylan-meets-The-Waterboys way. Special Guest will be ADAM HAWORTH STEPHENS (of Two Gallants) $10 advance tickets will go onsale July 30.

Local Edge Live presented by Tina at 100.3 The Edge rolls into the Rev Room this Saturday night!! Kingsdown and Bobgoblin will be rocking the show with some special guests TBA. Over 21s pay $7 to get in, BUT this is an All Ages show, man! Under 21s pay $10. Doors open at 7pm, and you should most definitely not miss it.

Kingsdown has recently released their debut CD “Kingsdown”, and it is one that you need to have in your collection. After watching them straight up rock the Rev like few others last month at their CD release show, it’s easy to call them Central Arkansas’ Great Next Hope. Come out and support!

Bobgoblin is a name that should be familiar to clubgoers from the late 90′s. This Devo-esque group of guys from the LR/Dallas area are known for onr of the most intense live shows ever!!

Over the past 18months, few bands have been more requested around here than BRANTLEY GILBERT. Seriously, we can’t seem to go a full week without some (predominantly under 25 female college student) person is saying “When y’all gonna bring Brantley to LR?”. It’s true, Little Rock NEEDS some Brantley Gilbert, and The Rev Room is thrilled to welcome him to Central Arkansas for the first time.

Brantley Gilbert will be performing at The Rev Room on Thursday July 22 with special guest JOHNNY COOPER. $10 tickets are on sale now for this ALL AGES show!
