Nate was recently featured, as were Emerson comedians Jay Leno and Steven Wright, recounting his favorite Rex Trailer memories in the full-length documentary of Rex Trailer's Boomtown television show! Directed by Michael Bavaro, this is one of the most amazing DVDs anyone could own. Stunning footage of New England's favorite Cowboy doing bullwhip tricks and other rodeo stunts, some seriously dangerous trick-riding, a 1952 min-feature on how he got his Bowie Knife and more! DVDs can be purchased and a short movie trailer can be seen by clicking on the artwork.

The Wal-Mart Three was the brainchild of Travis 'Daddy-O' Quam and Nate 'Gator' Gibson. In the year 2000, in the town of Manhattan, KS, our heroes were challenged by a rivaling K-Mart band (The Blue Light Specials) and a Rock'n'Roll Retail Rumble resulted. Obviously, the Wal-Mart Three sang victorious and left us with just this one "studio" album to remember them by. Click the artwork and you will magically hear some mp3s and you'll even be able purchase this great treasure!

Long ago there was a group of poets. They weren't street poets. They weren't beat poets. Some weren't even poets at all. But when united, they formed the Guerilla Poets. Lovers of the spoken word and the art of poetry. Nate was among them. A book resulted, 'Speak These Words, A Guerilla Poets Anthology,' and was published by W.P.C. Minimal Press in 2001. There are three offerings by Nate and some stellar writing from the others. Books can purchased through Amazon for less than $10! Click the artwork.

Most recently, Nate has recorded an album of Portuguese Love songs entitled, Canta Para O Renee. Featuring members of the Gashouse Gang and several special guests, the songs span many genres including country, western, country and western, western shuffle, country boogie and alt-country. There are several originals, as well as some Leon Payne, Hank Williams and Tibby Edwards songs translated into Portuguese. There is also a punk rock fight song for Esporte Clube Bahia. They suck, but their fight song rocks. Clicking the artwork will do nothing.

In the Spring of 1998, Nate enrolled in a children's writing course at Emerson. He wrote a Suess-like picture book about a boy who loved his Fisher Price Record Player and his entire record collection. To Fred, a black circle with grooves was the closest thing to perfection! His friends, however, liked 8-tracks. Then they liked cassettes. Then CDs, then mini-discs, then mp3s and on and on. They went broke trying to keep up with the times. But Fred, he was always happy, 'cause he just kept collecting and listening to records. Theresa Buchhesiter thought highly of the piece and illustrated it beautifully. Copies were made and sold at local zine fairs and record collectors seem to love it. Alas, Nate's teacher insisted that children will never know what a record player is and that he should write something else to recieve a passing grade. It was a sad day. Remaining copies of the zine can be purchased through the Nate Gibson and the Gashouse Gang myspace page for just a few dollars.
