1) A New York City-based garage rock band formed in 1966
2) A 1970s American hard rock group from Columbus, Ohio
1) The Godz were a NYC-based garage rock band that existed from 1966 to 1973. Their style varied from early noise rock to avant-garde and psychedelic rock.
The Godz were part of the Lower East Side, Manhattan scene that produced Allen Ginsberg, the Fugs and the Holy Modal Rounders. Consisting of guitarist Jim McCarthy, bassist Larry Kessler, autoharpist Jay Dillon, and drummer Paul Thornton.
Working on the ESP-Disk label, the first recording, 1966's Contact High With The Godz, was an attempt to rise above the limitations and accepted norm for popular music at the time. 1967 produced Godz 2, a bolder, more adventurous soundscape which is, in some people's opinion, the group's masterpiece. The Third Testament, in 1968, saw the quartet become a trio. In 1973, a fourth and last group LP Godzundheit was recorded.
Rock Critic Lester Bangs in a 1971 issue of Cream magazine referred to the Godz as "...a pure test of one of the supreme traditions of rock & roll: the process by which a musical band can evolve from beginnings of almost insulting illiteracy to wind up several albums later romping and stomping deft as champs."
By 1973 the Godz had split up, with McCarthy going on to pursue a solo career, eventually settling as a photographer. Kessler became a record dealer, Thornton an actor, and Dillon moved to the wilds of New Jersey.
Unfortunately, in July 2005, Jay Dillon's niece posted a message on the Hummingbird Mountain website, explaining that a showing of his art was to take place and that he had passed on several years before. The news of Jay's death reconnected the rest of the members in 2006, leading to the discussion of possibly collaborating again.
2) The Godz were an obscure hard rock/arena rock outfit of the late '70s and '80s. This band was formed in the Midwest in 1976, when bassist/producer Eric Moore got together with lead guitarist Mark Chatfield, rhythm guitarist/keyboardist Bob Hill, and drummer Glen Cataline. All four of them contributed lead vocals. The Godz signed with Casablanca in 1977, which was also the year in which they had an opening spot on Kiss' Love Gun Tour. (Cheap Trick was the other opening act on that tour.) On their selftitled album are at least two tracks you might want to listen to: "Gotta Keep A Runnin'" and "Candy's Going Bad", which is a cover of Golden Earring. It originally appeared on their 1973's Moontan album.

The Godz Lyrics
Don't stop at the lights, all I see is green
Too much bread I broke the machine
Selling this weed to all of these fiends
Whipping this hoe like lighting McQueen
I was chasing my dreams huh
Dolla bills up on the scene yuh
Putting my mind at ease yuh
Bitch finna do what I please yuh
Don't stop at the lights cuz all I see is green
Too much bread I broke the machine
Selling this weed to all of these fiends
Whipping this hoe like lighting McQueen
I was chasing my dreams huh
Dollar bills up on the scene yuh
Putting my mind at ease yuh
Bitch finna do what I please
I admit I'm not proud of the things I've did
But I've fucking your bitch
She suck on my tip
I made money the way I saw fit
Run up the block just to hit licks
Never apposed to flipping a brick
I just keep up with Supplying and shit
I'm the head huancho yo soy El dueño
Rock your head until you
Comprehendo Bout to
Explode like coke and Mentos
Took your girl made her a fiend
Now she begging to get down on her knees
Swerving key and burning tree
That shit is just a standard to me
Post and pick at a pack to flip the trap
That's why I got me band in my lap
Hand on my strap keep talking that smack
More than one thing finna blow back
Strapped up
Stack up stack up I never no back up
Pull up wit a crew I ain't talking bout Actors
La famila my faction yuh
We ain't afraid of no static yuh
Pull up saying What's cracking bruh
Don't stop at lights, all I see is green
Too much bread I broke the machine
Selling this weed to all of the fiends
Whipping this hoe like lighting McQueen
I was chasing my dreams huh
Dolla bills up on the scene yuh
Putting my mind at ease yuh
Bitch finna do what I please yuh
Don't stop at the lights cuz all I see is green
Too much bread I broke the machine
Selling this weed to all of these fiends
Whipping this hoe like lighting mc queen
I was chasing my dreams huh
Dolla bills up on the scene yuh
Putting my mind at ease yuh
Bitch finna do what I please
Once the pack land call me a stack man
Racks on deck forget about tracking
Who needs gas no I'm not capping
Fill those bags call it green dragon
No false flagging I'm touching you niggas
I'm going tagging
Crush you cuz you ain't part of my faction
That boy ain't about no action
I got a low rider call it classic
Drop in a V8 bout to start dragging
You too slow right under the caption
Pull up On wheels How much you need
Gas that I swerve and gas that burn
Both get served at the curb
I'm on demon time take my Ass to church
Money only thing that I need
I'm really playing for keeps your girl
She really a treesh
Bitch need to stay on a leash
I'm that Nigga elite
Finna reach a new feat
Finna get your ass beat
Bout to make this Nigga leak
Don't stop at lights, all I see is green
Too much bread I broke the machine
Selling this weed to all of the fiends
Whipping this hoe like lighting McQueen
I was chasing my dreams huh
Dolla bills up on the scene yuh
Putting my mind at ease yuh
Bitch finna do what I please yuh
Don't stop at the lights cuz all I see is green
Too much bread I broke the machine
Selling this weed to all of these fiends
Whipping this hoe like lighting mc queen
