Those Dreaded Gnats
  • Down With Xmas
Biography
THOSE DREADED GNATS are, George Simonovich and Harry Kopy. Seasoned musicians who have worked together for years. These talented and witty guys have finally taken their craft, and are making it available to the public.

George and Harry spent most of the 1980's and 90's playing at an eclectic array of nightclubs. In 2001 they decided to stop playing cover songs and began concentrating on their own compositions. Over the last several years they turned their attention to the recording studio, where they began fine-tuning their own songs. In 2008, they released a CD containing comedic and edgy Xmas songs called ‘A Dreaded Xmas – more xmas negatives’, on Mortality Records.

Earlier this year, they also released a CD under the moniker “The Ghosts of Christmas Past”. This CD is an instrumental compilation of popular Christmas Carols, as well as some not so well known, using mostly ancient acoustic instruments.
