Gomer Pyle

Gomer Pyle is a Psychedelic Stoner/grunge Rock band from the south of the Netherlands.

Gomer Pyle is an unconventional band with a broad musical range and musical interest. ‘Each song seems a genre collage, a listener once said. Actually, it is all about the unbounded creative process.

The band was formed in 1994 when the grunge scene came to a full. One year later they released their first EP "Honeybunny". In 1999, the Eurohappy CD was released by Elegy, and sometime later the EP "Angelseagirl".

Sadly in 2017 their manager/booker/friend/teacher/ice breaker/sledgehammer Bidi (Danny van Drongelen) died. Bidi made all the difference for the band. Him, being a true and passionate music fan and connoisseur, opened doors, created opportunities, and put Gomer Pyle in the spot they are now.

The band picked up the songs from Brouwer and started writing songs for the new double album Before I Die I... An album with a large footprint for the band since so many radical things happened during the writing process. It will be a true successor to Idiots Savants

Recently in 2023 Gomer Pyle again suffered a ‘Spinal Tap’ moment by having to say goodbye to yet another drummer. Kees Haverkamp left the band due to his overstrained agenda. But ‘hail the youth’ Damian Kunath stept in to fill some big boots and he is rocking!
