Absolute Punk Interviews David Gergen


Photo by: Michelle Fontaine
With influences like Wilco, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, and The Rolling Stones, David Gergen talks about his music and answers random questions with AbsolutePunk.

Why should people listen to your band?
They should listen if they want music that has a lot going on underneath the surface. Lyrically and musically, I try and create original pieces of work that force the listener to pay attention. I don't view my music as easily digestible pop candy, it's deeper and more thought provoking. So, for people that like that, I welcome you into my world.

If you could tour with any bands, past or present, who would they be and why?
I think as far as a good fit for touring together I would pick someone similar to my vibe, probably Wilco, maybe Arcade Fire. I would love to play with Johnny Cash but that won't happen until we meet in the afterlife.

What is something that most fans don't know about you?
That I am into cooking. I love to cook... Thai, Italian, French. I am fascinated by food the same way as I am music. It's never ending and there are certain basic rules that you need to understand before you can break down the door and go in a new direction, so I love that it requires a lot of practice and can't be faked.

What do you like to do in your spare time?
Cook, hike, travel, take a long drive somewhere random....hang with animals. I do love movies too.

High Five! from Neil Nathan







My Santa Claus Is Coming to Town Charity Video, which I’m using to raise funds for the Fred Gabler Helping Hand Camp Fund, is based on a true story from my childhood where I got busted by my folks when I opened my presents early.

The following are my top five presents worth getting kidnapped by Evil Santa and his elves this year:

1. ThunderCats - Season 1. Give Me Sight Beyond Sight!









2. The Beatles - Mono Collection. This can’t come out on vinyl fast enough!





3. Vintage Tube Record Player to enjoy the aforementioned gift in its proper warmth.





4. Gibson ES 339 Hollow Body which will allow me to rip off John Lennon’s sound.





5. But all I really want for Christmas is a lifetime supply of Fluevog Shoes!







To celebrate the end of the nine to five, a Green Light Go staff member or artist will leave you with their short list of favorite things, better known as the High Five!

This week's High Five! is brought to you by: Neil Nathan
