The Goldy lockS Band has never been interested in fitting into the music industry’s mold. From day one, their mantra has been clear: “Buy The Record, Not The Bod. Only Talent.” In a business where superficial image too often eclipses genuine artistry, this band has chosen to walk a harder but more rewarding path, one paved with resourcefulness, grit, and undeniable skill.
Beyond the Bod: Celebrating Real Musicianship
In today’s world of viral stunts and industry-manufactured stars, the Goldy lockS Band’s campaign feels refreshingly raw. “Buy The Record, Not The Bod” rejects the notion that women in music should sell an image before they sell a song. Instead, the band emphasizes the value of every note, every lyric, and every live performance. See more of the “Only Talent” on the band’s website listed below.
The movement isn’t about Goldy alone. It’s about the entire team that makes the music shine. Johnny Oro brings fire with his guitar, Rod Saylor the rhythm with his drums & bassist Wandly Bala, tuning in from Brazil, adds international soul. Together with Goldy, they create a sound that’s authentic and original music that doesn’t hide behind trends.
Rod’s Spin: “Buy The Record, Not The ROD”
Drummer Rod Saylor has given the campaign a witty but powerful twist: “Buy The Record, Not The ROD.” His personal take proves that the movement isn’t just a slogan but a message each member can embody.
Rod has gone the extra mile to show what it means, whether it’s his quirky bench promo, his kitchen-inspired cooking promo, or his candid reflections on what drives him. For Rod, it’s all about proving that fans should recognize his rhythm and craft, not his appearance. As he says, “Music is what lasts. It’s what we want people to remember us for.”
The Harsh Truth: Nashville Doesn’t Always Pay
But the campaign isn’t just cheeky wordplay. It comes from lived experiences in a cutthroat industry. Nashville, often called the heart of country and rock, hides a darker truth: many musicians aren’t paid fairly for their work.
The Goldy lockS Band has been outspoken about this injustice. Goldy has shared stories of artists walking away from shows without pay, or worse, being strung along with empty promises. Fellow musicians echo these frustrations, with some saying they’ve performed for exposure while others profited off their talent.
By speaking out, the band reminds fans that supporting artists directly by buying records, tickets, and merch is what keeps music alive.
From Prince’s Protege to Rock Frontwoman
Goldy’s resilience didn’t begin with the band. As a teenager, she began designing costumes for Prince’s Paisley Park, proving early on that creativity doesn’t require wealth. Armed with thrift-store finds, discarded fabric, and endless imagination, she stitched together outfits that turned heads.
That scrappy ingenuity blossomed into a professional path. Goldy went on to design for wrestling legends in WWE, WCW, and TNA, crafting dazzling outfits that blended theater and spectacle. Soon, she was also writing and singing original entrance music songs that still echo in the memories of wrestling fans worldwide a testament to the innovative spirit that continues to thrive through The Factory by Goldy lockS
Costumes, Sets, and Songs: Built by the Band
That same DIY fire fuels the Goldy lockS Band today. Goldy continues to handcraft costumes for live shows and music videos, transforming everyday scraps into rock n roll statements. But it doesn’t stop there.
The entire band is invested in their self-sufficiency. They don’t hire big crews to design their sets or stage effects; they do it themselves. Even families pitch in. Rod’s son, Zach, engineered the ingenious “Rain Maker” effect for the music video I Didn’t Know, using PVC pipes and sprinkler parts. Rod’s dad, Ross, and Goldy’s father, Tom, have also been seen working behind the scenes to bring visions to life.
This kind of collective effort makes every performance feel earned, not manufactured.
Cheapskates, Cameras, and Creativity
The world has taken notice of their resourceful spirit. Goldy’s DIY lifestyle was featured on TLC’s Cheapskates and Call in the Cheapskates, where audiences saw firsthand how she turns limitations into strengths. While others might see scraps as trash, Goldy sees them as the foundation of her next big idea.
For fans, this was confirmation of what they already knew: the band lives its philosophy. They don’t need big budgets, they just need their imagination.
Why They May Be the Most DIY Band in Rock
From songwriting to set design, from thrifted stagewear to homemade effects, the Goldy lockS Band does it all. Few groups today can claim such hands-on involvement in every detail of their artistry. That’s why many fans and critics alike describe them as possibly the most DIY rock band in existence.
They prove that success doesn’t have to be polished, prepackaged, or paid for in advance. It just has to be real.
