Due to public demand, THE GONADS will now not be retiring at the end of 2013. Instead the band have agreed to play select European festivals in 2014 "plus special events and gigs that interest us". They will also announce a major new project on New Year's Day. The Gonads have begun work on "Greater hits volume 3 - The complete cobblers" which will be released in July 2014. Gal is also writing songs with former guitarist Clyde Ward for a spin-off album next year by The Brothers Gonad and which will be closer in feel to the "Old boots" album.
