My name is Norb. I AM a Fuel Injected Norbies. We have been a band for about four years now. This last embodiment has been around since the summer of 2004. The band started out with other individuals who are no longer part of the band but a very important part of the metamorphosis. The Original line up were Ed Gomez on Drums, and vocals. Vic Rosales on Bass Guitar. Norb Gomez on rhythm guitar (they wouldn't let me sing back then). The great Joe Ramirez on lead guitar. And, the always prexent Eric Brown on vocals. We had been practicing at my house and playing at private parties and local community functions for free as the Killer Chihuahua's. And, as in all garage bands, the elements come and go. Others that have participated and helped us since the original band are Dan Cabrera, Blackfoot, Rusty, Zak Sanchez, Jason, Denver, Erica Womeldorf Coggins, Leslie Wood, and finally, Pablo Gutierrez.

Pablo is one of the main reasons for our break into the industry. He knows Crisanto Ramirez at Texano Saloon and secured us an opening spot for the Toadies in February of 2001. The band at the time did not like the Killer Chihuahua moniker so we had to change it. So, we brainstormed and before we left that evening before the Toadies show, Victor had named the band,... The Fuel Injected Norbies. Two months later we hooked up and toured for Louie J. Gavrel Productions opening for The Outfield. We hooked up with some very fine people in the Music business, namely, Bill Fraser, and J. J. Gracia. Both of whom had been pretty much Louie's right hand men. After that, like the saying goes, the rest is really the fruits of our labour, but wait it gets better...
