The British quintet Gomez is a quality blues-based rock outfit that pens catchy tunes that are carried by witty, often humorous, lyrics. The band also makes rad, wacky videos that entertain even if you're not a huge fan of the group's music. This DVD includes 12 videos for favorites like "Shot Shot" and "Rhythm & Blues Alibi." The latter title features a hilarious skit that finds the quintet trying in vain to bust some moves at the local discotheque. The requisite interview, a couple live tracks from a Dublin date and a series of concert performances made during a Liquid Skin album showcase round out the disc. 3 stars
