Nashville’s The Gills have been upping the ante in the pop rock game. They’re gutsy and dynamic and… really good.
Between touring, preparing to release a new album (any time now!) and keeping hometown fans happy, frontmant Jesse Wheeler made a little time to answer a few questions for us.
1. If you were a pizza, what would you be topped with?
Pepperoni, Pineapples, Jalapeños
2. Looks like you’ve been doing a lot of touring lately. Any DREAM GIG locations?
Yes, we dig The West Coast and Australia for sure.
3. If you could invite 5 people, living or dead, to your beach party (since you’re originally from Pensacola,) who would they be?
Andy Warhol, Snoop Dogg (Lion??), Chris Farley, John F. Kennedy, and Robin Williams
4. How excited are you about releasing the new record?!?!
So stoked. Can’t wait for all of our friends to sip this juice.
5. Heard any good jokes lately?
We take this very seriously. And personally I have no time for jokes
If you haven’t had a chance to catch The Gills live, we HIGHLY recommend it. We’re losing sleep waiting for the new album to drop, but in the meantime, sink your teeth into their 2012 EP Motor Running. -Caroline Bowman
