Gays In The Military
"PEOPLE IS BEAUTIFUL"
(Gulcher 602)

This new Gays In The Military CD, "PEOPLE IS BEAUTIFUL,"
is a thick slab of balls-out psychedelic sleaze-rock as delightfully
misanthropic as its Peter Bagge-drawn cover art.  GitM have long
reigned as one of Chicago's most consistently entertaining live acts,
combining the spectacle of high-concept arena rock with the creepy
sex vibe of a 42nd Street slime pit, and now they're bringing their
obsessions and fixations to bear on their first "studio" recording.

The concept of Gays In The Military was born in Greensboro, NC in
1995 with three young UNC-G students--Art, Matt and Jeanna--and
one dropout, Brian.  After about a year of playing largely improvised
psych-punk inspired by the early work of the Butthole Surfers and the
Flaming Lips, GitM added a second guitarist, Ryan (of Greensboro's
Raymond Brake), and became BRN MTN LTS, a new incarnation
which took the original GitM concept into the realms of heavy metal,
black magic, and full frontal nudity.  After six months BRN MTN LTS
called it quits, Art and Matt went on to form the Mercury Birds, who
split when Matt moved to Texas and Art started his dead-on Southern
rock project, All Night.

In 2001, Brian found himself living in Chicago and decided to restart
the band with fellow college radio DJs Geoff, Chris, and Melissa.  After
playing around Chicago and releasing MEAT GAZERS, a full-length
CDR on underground noise label Scratch-N-Sniff Entertainment, GitM
added Mike on rhythm guitar and recorded "PEOPLE IS BEAUTIFUL"
for Gulcher Records.  The summer of 2005 found GitM reunited with
their old drummer Matt and touring the country with NC guitar rock
icons the Cherry Valence.  Now, having just collaborated with Chicago
underground filmmaker Miss Julie Fabulous on a video for their MP3
single "Evil Physician/Evil Position," GitM are concentrating on rocking
the Midwest, taking their stage show to a higher plane, and working
on a new concept album entitled FAIRY TAILS.

Musically, GitM's output has run the gamut from spooky lo-fi home
recordings to sound collages made up of dialogue of exploitation movies
to blistering hardcore party rock jams.  Always eager to pay tribute to
their forebears, GitM have covered songs from Judas Priest, the Butthole
Surfers, and most recently, the GODSPELL soundtrack.  "PEOPLE IS
BEAUTIFUL" showcases the boys' love of the broad spectrum of rock
music, featuring singalong choruses, rumbling squelchy guitars, one-note
Greg Ginn-style solos, keyboard sounds that go from ELO-inspired
melodies to the cacophonous squealing of Roxy Music-era Brian Eno,
and lyrics inspired by tales of the sexual underground, exploitation flicks,
life on the road, and the band's own twisted sense of humor.

Never a joke band but always on the lookout for the next laugh, Gays In
The Military have proved once again with "PEOPLE IS BEAUTIFUL"
that writing great songs doesn't preclude having a hell of a good time with
it.
