The story was illustrated by James Montgomery Flagg in Cosmopolitan. Lady Georgiana, meanwhile, is so impressed by Bottles' performance that she orders two tons of Dog-Joy off Freddie. His manly display shakes the scales from Gertrude's eyes, and she falls into his arms, while Watkins slinks off, defeated. Just in time, Bingham enters, sees the fight in progress, and breaks it up by the simple expedient of taking one dog in each massive hand and pulling. Watkins, to Gertrude's disgust, leaps atop a display cabinet, while the others dither about. Bottles remains, however, and when one of Lady Georgiana's Airedales comes in, a mighty battle commences. The family protest, and Beach is called to take the bag of rats away.
That evening, while the household take after-dinner coffee in the drawing room, Freddie enters with Bottles and a sack of rats, intending to demonstrate the Dog-Joy reared mongrel's ratcatching prowess Orlo Watkins, observed by Gertrude, cringes somewhat at the sight. He later tries to reason with his cousin, but to no avail the glamour of the singer has taken her over. While visiting his friend Beefy Bingham to borrow his dog Bottles, Freddie learns that she has indeed all but "handed him the bird".įreddie tells this to Lady Georgiana, while giving a rather poor demonstration of Dog-Joy's powers, during which Bottles is scared off by Susan, one of Lady Georgiana's Pekes. The curtain on the main stage will open to huge applause.Freddie Threepwood, still trying to persuade his Aunt Georgiana of the benefits of Donaldson's Dog-Joy (even going so far as to act out the phrase "eating one's own dog food") hears that his cousin Gertrude has become infatuated with Orlo Watkins, a weedy tenor invited to the castle by Lady Constance. They have a peculiar style and way of seeing Rockabilly, the combination of their themes, the exquisitely chosen covers and the unmistakable voice and presence of Peter Sandberg´s wearing his characteristic black glasses make this band one of the most loved in the scene. In all these years a total of 8 albums we’re recorded and released, the last of which was in 2018 for Goofin´ Records “Love & Hate”, add numerous Eps, a multitude of appearances in compilations and a lot of hymns that make you move your feet when you hear them like “Welcome to my hell”, “She´s a motormouth” or the great “No heart to spare”.
The Go Getters have spent all these years bringing their special Rockabilly to all four corners of the world, but it must be said they have never lost the contact with the underground scene and still continue to attend as many concerts as they can, due to their pure passion for music and all the Kustom Kulture that it carries.īut tragedy struck, in 2011 and after a devastating motorcycle accident, the charismatic and beloved guitarist of the band, Robin Johnson lost his life. It was back in 1998, during the deep winter in the frozen lands of Västerás in Sweden, a gang of Vikings decided to warm themselves by forming a Rockabilly trio, they called themselves THE GO GETTERS and 32 years later they are still burning like a Texas oil derrick !Īt that time times were hard for them, Sweden had a strong Punk and Hardcore scene, artists as Anti Climex or Mob 47 were growing up but there were not many musicians into Rockabilly music.
