On The Road
Creativity sometimes drive people insane. Let’s take the Dirty Bobby’s case. He was found lying on the side of the road -naked and reading Bukowski. This is quite usual when you get to know the Bobby. But the strangest fact is that he had lost his two legs and an arm. ‘Oh, a truck crash’ he says. Now, another story : San Francisco And another one :...

Prolific times!
Gable’O’Matic is not entering a golden age of creativity… It has never left it! The second hit of the second album was born yesterday night : “Surf Or Die” Very soon, these incredible tracks will be available…but in the meanwhile, these low quality versions will calm down your hunger of Gable’O’Matic : “San Francisco” ...
Lost tapes (San Francisco session)
San Francisco, oh oh ooooooh oh ooooooooh!
Many things have changed since last may… The world, our poor old world, is in a constant hurricane of changes. We’re all in the middle of his eye, where things seem to be calm and peaceful. But each second, a piece of an already lost present becomes past and fades into the eternity. An eternity made of regrets, tears and sadness; loves, friendships and happiness. In this...

We're coming back

Barcelona, Italy and the Dour Festival were in the program. Then, in August three of us are studying hardly to pass some exams until the end of the month and Dirty Bobby is making a short film (Coeur Battant), which is gonna be...

New Songs : Tributes
The first song, ‘The Tighter Your Plan, The More Likely You Are To Run Into Something Unpredictable’, is not only the reflection of GoM’s work but also a great thanks to one of our heroes. It’s a bit the same principle of “Clark Gable”. Lyrics were written by the three of us. For this song, we needed VVB to play SK1. He also took part to the choirs. Many thanks...
Mind Experiment
Is Gable’o’Matic’s latest opus, Mind Experiment, the manifesto of an abusive hallucinogenic substances consumption? Not really. In fact, Dirty Bobby, Billy-Billy and Benny-Benny prefer to get high with another kind of stuff (besides beer and Ice-Tea) : mathematics, quantic physics and philosophy. Maxwell demons, Schrödinger’s cat and Plato’s cave :...
Sunray on a dark day
We just finished recording “Summer”, the eleventh song of the album. The song was called like that because it remembers some good surf memories to Benny-Benny. He actually spent the last summer holidays in California (San Diego) with his brother (Raphie “Squared mouth” Raphie) and his girlfriend (Ölga, a 22 years’s top model). So he composed this tune as a teenage gift to his...

New video clip coming soon
We finally finish to film the video clip of “Saloon”. We did it on friday, in approximatively one hour. Now we have to edit it (Dirty-Bobby will do it in the course of this week, drinking asparagus’s soup) and to post it here so you can be the first to see it, you fucking lucky man.
With “Chill Out Baby”, we’re now halfway through our first album, which will...
More than just a potential hit : "Chill Out Baby!"
Fellow, be careful! You’re on your way to experience the ultimate hit! I’m obviously talking about Gable’o’Matic’s last creation : “Chill Out Baby!”, an anthem to chill-attitude and Dirty Bobby’s incapacity to write decent lyrics.
The story of this song is deeply linked with Beach Boys’ “God Only Knows”…Indeed, dear fan,...
GoM's newborn baby
MacGyver used to say that the tighter your plan, the more likely you are to run into something unpredictable. He was right, and that’s the same for music. That’s why we never write our tunes before being in the garage.
Today’s inspiration was to do a very chill song, in an acoustic way. We called it “Saloon”. It’s the most featured song (4 featurings), because...

Brand new song : "The Macabre Dance"
The 8th Gable’o’Matic’s tune was recorded this afternoon in about two hours!
Deep and melancolic, The Macabre Dance is an original idea from Ste, G’o’M’s first fan, featuring bassist and Dirty Bobby’s brother.
Remarkable facts:
Ste found out the main riff on his bass. Which has only one string.
Benny-Benny almost died after the final chorus. His...

G a b l e ' o ' M a t i c
Founded in April 2007, Gable’o’Matic is a Belgian band that performs garage-punk and extreme-surf music. But without surfs. Highely inspired by Brian Wilson, Bossa Nova music and The Sex Pistols, the band counts three members and long time fellows.Pierre “Billy-Billy” Leo hits the drum, Pierre “Benny-Benny” Slinckx strums the guitars and, last but certainly not...
