Artist History
Once upon a time, in a land called Gainesville, a boy named Rob lay drunk, depressed, stoned and unconscious by the side of the road. When he came to, he realized he'd never get laid if he didn't do something quick. On his long hazy walk to his cubicle, he stopped into a pawn shop and bought a magic guitar. He wrote some songs and recorded them onto a shitty tape deck. Angels and demons and seedy characters in between began to visit him and pull him different directions. Good, bad, magic and death su rrounded him. Luckily, he survived bizarre events and tumultuous relationships to tell the story. Some believe him to be a wizard, others a fool. He is but a mere human with a human story to tell. Herein lies the story that is Rob McGregor, the boy that couldn't get laid!` |

Press Reviews
This stuff is so good, accessible without being trendy, I don't know how to explain why you can't turn on the radio without hearing it.-Ink 19 3/00 This is good rockin' new-school punk.-Impact 5/00 Valentine, a cohesive, blistering and engaging rock rec ord. Of course, I use the word "rock" sparingly because Rob finds his blustery idiosyncrasies through the primal emotions hidden securely in the veins of folk, country and punk.-Alligator 1/27/00n |
