When UK Gomez hit it big over there, they had to pay Austin Gomez for the rights to the name. They seemed a little bitter about it, but Austin Gomez had the name first, so whatreyagonnado? Austin Gomez was never my bag, but since the whole "can't we all just live in peace and harmony?" tack never flies on Austinist, I'll just let loose with a hearty cray of "Austin Gomez isn't worthy of licking Gomez' balls." Aaaah, there. I now feel complete.

this gomez has been around since '96 as well. so they have to change their name when they come to austin because you're too stupid to figure out the difference? you probably don't even care, you just want something to bitch about.

You are correct, this is not Gomez. At least not the good band named Gomez.

I don't know who these fakers are, but if my memory serves me correctly Gomez was a group of hispanic gentleman who played pop-punk music - not this junk. Anywhere other than Austin perhaps the above band can use the name "Gomez", but here in Austin let's refer to them with their real name: "The Other Gomez". Scoop
