Doug Gillard- American guitarist, and songwriter, notably Guided by Voices, Nada Surf, & Bambi Kino

EP #88 Doug Gillard is an American guitarist and songwriter. He has been a member of major indie pop and punk bands, most notably Guided by Voices, Nada Surf, Bambi Kino, Death of Samantha, and Cobra Verde. Doug Gillard was born in Sandusky, Ohio. His parents were from Colorado, where his father helped construct missile silos, and his mother was a teacher's aide.[2] Gillard grew up on a farm in rural Northeast Ohio, in the town of Huron, and attended schools in Elyria, Ohio. By age five, he was writing songs, which he recorded on a reel-to-reel tape machine to be mailed by his family to his older sister who lived in Germany. Beginning in high school, Doug began performing with Ohio punk bands such as Suspect Device, Children's Crusade, and Starvation Army. He also performed at the time and/or recorded with Richard Buckner, Yuji Oniki, My Dad Is Dead, The Mice, Bill Fox, Fence Lions, Zest of Yore, Stewart Pack, The Oranges Band, Mascott, and Sally Crewe and The Sudden Moves. In the 1980s, Doug was a member of the Ohio-based band Death of Samantha, a "modernist pop troupe" led by John Petkovic. After the breakup of Death of Samantha, Gillard became one of the original members of John Petkovic's 1990s band Cobra Verde. Robert Pollard, who had been a fan of his since his Death of Samantha days, asked Cobra Verde in 1996 to be his backing band for Guided by Voices “Mag Earwhig!” LP. After joining forces with Guided by Voices as part of Cobra Verde, He remained a member of Guided by Voices for about seven years, from 1997 to 2004, a period that encompassed six official LPs and numerous other releases. Doug’s association with Pollard also resulted in three albums in collaboration as a duo: 1999's “Speak Kindly of Your Volunteer Fire Department “, and two albums credited to Lifeguards, “Mist King Urth” in 2003, and “Waving at the Astronauts” in 2011. In the early 1990s, Gillard launched Gem, his own band, which also included bassist Tim Tobias (later of Guided by Voices). Gem's debut album, “Hexed”, was recorded in 1994 and released on Restless Records in 1995. According to Trouser Press, Gillard's contributions stood out as "crafty," with "the woolly and weird chant of 'Sheep,' the bracing T. Rex borrowings of 'Your Heroes Hate You' and the countryfied pun of 'Only a Loan.” Doug is also the founding member of Bambi Kino, a band formed in anticipation of 2010's fiftieth anniversary of the first Beatles shows in Hamburg, Germany. The group covers songs from the formative 1960–1962 pre-celebrity era of The Beatles in Hamburg and at the Cavern Club. The band took its name from the Bambi Kino, a squalid movie theater in Hamburg where the Beatles lived in cramped storerooms. Working with Hamburg-based Tapete Records, the band debuted with a week of shows in August 2010 at the Indra Club in Hamburg, where the Beatles first played. In 2011, Tapete released the group's self-titled debut album. In 2010, Doug joined the band Nada Surf, which had been formed in 1992 by Matthew Caws and Daniel Lorca.] The line-up of Caws, Lorca, drummer Ira Elliot, and Gillard appeared on Nada Surf's 2012 album “The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy”. He has recorded three full-length albums as a solo artist, not including his early cassette releases. His solo recording career technically began with two self-released cassettes, the four-song Cover Songs with “Big Heads” (1985), and a 1990 release of “Juvenilia” recorded by Doug at ages 5 to 9 years old! In 1999, Doug’s serious solo career began with the release of the five-song “Malamute Jute” EP. This was followed in 2004 by “Salamander”, his first solo full-length album in 2008 “Call from Restricted”. His 2014 solo album, “Parade On”, was released on Nine Mile Records. “Parade On” blends layers of guitars in a display of diverse examples of "steady, riff-based rock," and early British music. He produced indie band Eternal Summers' third album, "The Drop Beneath". He has also scored several independent films, including the comedy short film “Creative Process 473” (2002), and “American Cannibal (2006)”. On July 25, 2016, it was announced he rejoined Guided by Voices and his still currently in the band with touring and recording with more music in 2025! In addition to continuing to play in Guided by Voices check out his new second release on Robert Pollard's new Splendid Research record label a vinyl & CD reissue of a 1984 demo cassette called "Children's Crusade", his post-punk teenage band with vocalist Fraser Sims! A great early post punk recording with some of the songs sounding like the early stages of "goth" type music.
