Gomez | 10.22 | Sydney

Words & Images by: Alex Anastas

Gomez :: 10.20.09 :: Metro Theatre :: Sydney, Australia

Gomez :: 10.20 :: Australia

Performing their slinky blend of indie-Brit-pop and soothing folk harmonies since first forming at Sheffield University in 1996, British troubadours Gomez have nine solid albums under their belt (including compilations and live releases), most recently releasing A New Tide (JamBase review). Gomez successfully blend the electronic stylings of 21st century effects and layered guitar runs with traditional stage arrangement harmonies and thumping acoustic guitar thrown in for good measure. I’m not quite sure if they’ve ever shared the stage with jam band veterans moe., but having seen the upstate New York act play numerous times, these two bands share a unique symbiotic similarity in sound and stage presence. Gomez also employ rapid-fire instrumentation switch-ups from song to song, an impressive high-wire act of stage-handery to behold. On this warm spring evening, many of their road-tested toys would be utilized.

Gomez opened the first of their two sold out shows at Sydney’s Metro Theatre with one of their most mellowed sing-along ditties, an extended “Revolutionary Kind,” slowly easing the late work-week crowd into what would turn out to be a marathon of fan favorites. Multi-instrumentalist and crowd fire-plug Tom Gray (vocals/rhythm guitar/melodica) brought out his melodica early to assist on the philosophical “Hamoa Beach.” Knowing exactly how to keep their fans on a yo-yo emotional roller coaster, Gomez let their hair down a bit with a rocking version of the stop-start electro-funk number “Silence,” perhaps the highlight of the night, immediately contrasted tastefully by Ian Ball‘s (vocals/keys/guitar) introverted acoustic plucking on “Mix.” This would be the pattern set throughout the night – one rocker, one ballad, repeat. Band spokesman Gray cemented this game plan by stating, “We’re not going to repeat ANY of these songs tomorrow night, so for those of you who are coming to both shows, enjoy it while you can.”

Gomez :: 10.20 :: Australia

Reaching deep into their surprisingly large catalogue on the barbershop harmonized “Sounds of Sounds,” the poppy bass walk by Paul Blackburn on “If I Ask You Nicely,” and the solitary calls of Ben Ottewell (vocals/lead guitar) on “Tijuana Lady,” Gomez then really warmed the smiling faces of the Metro crowd. Starting with the synth-fueled “Ping One Down” into “Other Plans,” Gomez closed their triple threat run with the rollicking sing-along “Bron-Y-Aur Stomp” with Gray proudly proclaiming, “We’re going to play one by Led Zeppelin ’cause why the fuck not?”

The British crooners threw out one more new number off A New Tide, “Little Pieces,” and already the crowd seemed to know every word of this catchy little tune. Before closing their set with the harmonica-led favorite “Whippin’ Piccadilly” (off their first official release Bring It On), Gomez’s stage manager brought out a cake adorned with the number one for the bashful drummer Olly Peacock, promptly inducing a little “Happy Birthday” serenade by the crowd.

After a quick duck back stage, an appreciative Gomez came back to a stomping Sydney hoard anxious for more. The band did not let us down with an extended percussive-driven “Sunset Gates” and the energetic house-boogie breakdown of “Detroit Swing 66.” These Peter Pan boys who never want to leave the Neverland that is the touring life seem to capture perfectly the essence of youthful exuberance and desire to “see the world” through the dirty, road-weary windshield of an “Airstream Driver.” Given the raucous response to this show and the devoted knowledge of the joyous fans in attendance, Australian audiences will be waiting with patient ears.

Mexico prison riot leaves 19 dead

Mexico map

At least 19 inmates have been killed and more than 20 injured in a riot in a prison in the northern Mexican state of Durango, security officials say.

Smoke was seen rising from the prison in the town of Gomez Palacio, and gunshots were heard.

Officials said the violence resulted from rivalry between gangs in the jail.

State official Jorge Torres said that while the situation was now calm the overall atmosphere was tense. He described the prison as a "time bomb".

He told Mexican TV the fighting was a "dispute for dominance" and suggested that inmates being held on federal drug and organised crime-related charges might be behind the violence.

‘Dynamics disturbed’

"We have a significant number of criminals linked to organised crime," he said, quoted by the Associated Press news agency.

"I think it is precisely the federal inmates who disturb the internal dynamics of the penitentiary, and they place the governance of it at constant risk."

Durango has been the scene of clashes between the Gulf and Sinaloa drug cartels in recent months.

President Felipe Calderon has declared war on the illegal narcotic organisation in Mexico, deploying 40,000 troops to fight the cartels.

Thousands have been killed in drug-related violence in the last few years.

Drug gangs have been involved previously in prison escapes and rioting.

In May, an armed gang believed to be linked to the Gulf cartel broke into a jail in the state of Zacatecas and freed more than 50 inmates.

US deports ‘minister for cocaine’

Former military despot faces 30 years in prison for crimes including genocide and political assassinations

In his pomp he was known as the “minister for cocaine”, a corrupt and ruthless military despot who collaborated with drug cartels and terrorised Bolivia.

Luis Arce-Gómez, interior minister in the Andean nation’s 1980-81 dictatorship, made an infamous warning to foes to “walk around with their wills under their arms”.

But when the former burly colonel returned home yesterday he was a shrivelled, white-haired figure too feeble to even walk into the prison where he is expected to end his days.
The United States has deported the 71-year-old to face justice in Bolivia after he spent almost 20 years in a Florida prison for drug trafficking.

Arce-Gómez, who once recruited the Nazi Klaus Barbie as an adviser, faces 30 years in La Paz’s Chonchocoro prison for at least eight crimes including genocide and political assassinations.

President Evo Morales thanked the US for deporting a figure whose name once inspired dread among leftists, trade unionists and journalists. “It is a historic day for human rights.”

FBI agents escorted Arce-Gómez on the flight from Miami to La Paz where upon arrival he was given oxygen to adjust to the 3,800-meter altitude, covered in a blanket and wooly hat and ferried past astonished onlookers in a wheelchair to a waiting ambulance and convoy of police vehicles.

It was an ignominious homecoming for a man who once typified the hubris and viciousness of South America’s right wing military regimes.

Arce-Gómez was an ambitious army officer when the 1980 “cocaine coup” financed by drug traffickers brought his ally General Luis García Meza to power.

Appointed interior minister, he wasted no time arresting, torturing and murdering the regime’s real or imagined foes. Records show at least 93 dead, 26 disappeared and 4,000 detained, many of them leftists and union leaders. Barbie, the “butcher of Lyon” who fled to Bolivia after the second world war, gave tips on repression.

According to the US federal indictment, Arce-Gómez turned his impoverished Andean nation into a narco-state by giving drug cartels free rein to produce and ship cocaine in return for large payments. He reportedly charged up to $75,000 every two weeks.

Traffickers who balked had their drugs seized and had to pay even higher sums to retrieve them from government vaults.

After just 13 months the dictatorship collapsed in 1981 and Arce-Gómez fled. He was captured in 1989 and extradited to the US where he was sentenced to a two-decade stretch for drug trafficking.

Upon completing his sentence a US court rejected Arce-Gómez’s asylum request and ruled he should be returned to Bolivia where he was convicted in absentia in 1993 for genocide and human rights violations. He faces 30 years without parole.

It is hoped that Arce-Gómez will identify the location of the remains of his disappeared victims, including Marcelo Quiroga, a prominent politician and human rights advocate.

Awaiting him in Chonchocoro prison was his former boss, General Meza, 79, who was caught in Brazil in 1994 and is serving a 30-year sentence.
