Episode 53: My Friends The Gooch Palms

From the Cambridge Hotel to the Corner Hotel, Leroy Macqueen and Kat Friend - better known as The Gooch Palms - have laid waste to stage after stage with their stupidly-simple and seriously sensational take on garage rock. They have just completed a national tour in support of Violent Soho, playing some of their biggest shows to date; and this week saw them release their second studio album, Introverted Extroverts. But how did these two Novocastrian weirdos make it onto a national stage with little more than a floor tom, a snare drum and a guitar? The Goochies held court over Thai lunch in Redfern while in town for the final shows on the Soho tour, sharing their story so far - as well as tales of nudity, town pride and Andre 3000.The Gooch Palms' new album, Introverted Extroverts, is out now via Summer Camp Records.Digital: https://thegoochpalms.bandcamp.com/album/introverted-extroverts-lp-2016Physical: http://www.summercamprecords.com/Support for All My Friends Are in Bar Bands comes from Spit the Dummy Records.
