Gorgoro review by Manilalounge.com

Gorgoro is a band like no other. A puppet! A puppet for a vocalist! And a pink one with a thick unibrow at that! Gregorio “Gorgoro” Henson, the ultimate “renaissance puppet”, is also the chief songwriter of this Britpop-inspired band. But wait, there’s more! According to their Facebook page, “No doubt, Gorgoro is a puppet on a mission -- to finally find and meet his biological father, Animal of the Muppet Show’s sensational band Dr. Teeth & the Electric Mayhem. Gorgoro is hell-bent on finding his spot in the limelight in order to (somehow, somewhere) get recognition from his estranged father”. Melt my heart, why don’t you? Their song “You Had Your Chance But You Blew It” became my LSS for 2 days. That’s how infectious their songs are. Gorgoro: fun, easy on the ears, and a puppet as front man.

Elmo sing with Katy Perry

hmmm Elmo sings with Katy Perry. I wonder who will be the first local human artist I'll be singing with on live television? Ely Buendia, Rico Blanco, Rico Puno....

I think NU rock awards 2010 is the best venue for this. Sorry, just day dreaming. :-)

I saw my Dad Animal on TV!! :-(

At least I know that my dad is in good shape. Hope he discovers about his bastard here in the Philippines.

Well, Congratulation Mr. Fator! Splendid!

I just invade the New York Festival's site :-)

Thank you mr. Raoul Panes for this one.

GORGORO's FHM appearance

FHM PHILIPPINES (July 2010 issue)

GORGORO

"Gorgoro is fronted by puppet Gorgoro "Gregorio" Henson, who claims to
be the bastard son of the famous Muppet animal. Together with human
friends from other bands, he has managed to approximate the sound of
90's brit-rock, combined with a lyrical style that is more Ely Buendia
than Sesame Street"

Splendid! Thank you so much guys!! :-)

Underrated bands: GORGORO featured in Inquirer Lifestyle

Gorgoro

It’s not often that you see a band and you say “$#%@, why didn’t I think of that?” You’re liable to repeat this colorful phrase when you see Gorgoro, a rock band that has a pink, furry puppet for a singer.

Now forget all you know about rock stars that have hands up their rear parts. Gorgoro is nothing like Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem (the house band from the Muppets Show). The band plays propulsive brit-rock that would make you search for an accent, and maybe also a demo. It’s no surprise considering that Gorgoro counts British bands such as Pulp, Blur, Kaiser Chiefs and Radiohead among its touchstones.

Gorgoro has a mission, though he is less Bono-ish with his aspirations. He wishes to connect with his long-lost father, Animal from the Muppets Show. Gorgoro claims that he was conceived via a one-night hook-up during a Muppet Show tour stop in Olongapo.

Instead of saving up to go to the US or sending a letter to the Jim Henson Company, Gorgoro decided to connect with his father by trying to become a rock star. He has impressive band mates to help him. Musicians from groups such as Kiko Machine, Matilda and The Pin-Up Girls have all lent their support.

In spite of it all, Gorgoro says that his band is not trying to be different. “It’s just that I’m a puppet and we have to deal with it,” he said.

Wow! Really really splendid!! :-) Thank you Kiks!!

Gorgoro performed for Earth Hour 2010 (Philippines)

I don't personally believe in "Man-made Global warming" (research about the Climategate scandal). I just do believe that collective mass action can make a difference. That if we join forces to achieve a common goal, we can get it. For me, that's the whole essence of Earth Hour. Thank you Earth Hour for the oppurtunity. :-) Splendid!

GORGORO supports TEAM CONNAN!!

GO TEAM CONAN!! GO TEAM TRIUMPH!!
