Gummi Bako have been cranking up their outhouse rock with a wonkytonk foundation of country and gospel ever since the day they were born. In no particular order of inbreeding, Geebee, Uncle Beesly, Cheehi and Akabako kindly volunteered to dish up the delights in Gummi’s soupkitchen of sound.
As long-standing members of the Fife’s Fence Collective, Gummi Bako have recorded with fellow Fencers Lone Pigeon, King Creosote and UNPOC, and Bako songs have been covered by King Creosote, James Yorkston and The Pictish Trail.
Many an odd GB track has popped up on Fence Records samplers and on the Fence Collective albums “Fence Reunited” and “Let’s get this ship on the road”. In 2006 they released their first collection of homespun mellodaze on their mini-album “Sticky Wicket“.
Gummi Bako have performed at Bestival, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Pittenweem Arts Festival, Leith Festival, Spitz Festival of Folk, The Big Tent at Falkland Palace and of course Fence’s Home Game.
Lock up your daughters, your sisters too, if you get in their way, they’re gonna rock ‘n’ roll over you!
