August 14Aug 14 Anyone else into Goose? Been following them for a couple of years now and have seen them live a handful of times. They're easy to peg as a "jam band" and they do have songs and a style that lends itself to that label, but I'd say they're more of a hybrid with indie rock/rock. Rick Mitorotonda is a certified badass, both on the strings and on the mic. I originally got into them when I heard the below cover of Bon Iver's AUATC. That led me to this cover - Shama Lama Ding Dong from Animal House But their own stuff is beautiful too. Below are a few, including their just released Madalena from their new album. That one sounds more like Jackson Browne, tbh. Anyway, anyone else familiar or a fan?
August 14Aug 14 Do they do any covers of You've Lost that Loving Feeling or Great Balls of Fire? Edit: Well, shit, this got moved to Music. My joke was a lot funnier when this was accidently posted in Movies. Edited August 14Aug 14 by HornOnTheBayou
August 14Aug 14 I first became aware of them about a year ago. I liked what I initially heard. I'm allergic to jam bands, and so when I dug in deeper I found some stuff I didn't like, but they do have a lot of good songs, and they can definitely play.
August 20Aug 20 Author Their new album, Chain Yer Dragon, has been playing on a loop the last several days. Fallen in love with "Jed Stone," apparently their ballad about the notorious drifter "Tennessee Jed" from the GD. Give it a listen:

September 21Sep 21 Had a much better time at Goose tonight than I would have if I stayed home to watch the Illini game.

I'm not quite sure what I expected, but somewhat of a strange crowd. Largest percentage was what I would describe as the college educated and white-collar subset of Dead fans, but also a surprising representation of dudes in flatbrim caps who would look right at home driving a trophy truck with a motocross bike in the back around Orange County or San Diego, frat boys of all ages, older suburban couples who look like the Coldplay cheaters, college kids, and a fair number of high school kids. Fewer wooks and spunions than I expected. Edited September 21Sep 21 by Prepuce of Doom
September 22Sep 22 One of my favorites. Their side hustle Orebolo is pretty bad ass for acoustic versions of their stuff.
September 22Sep 22 The only thing I know about this band is that they keep having to kick dudes out for sexual assault, and gaptoothsnodgrass makes fun of them a lot on instagram.

Fewer wooks and spunions than I expected. I'd say that matches my experience with the two shows I've seen, although I didn't see much of the flat-brim truck crowd. I did hear that the Barstool community has been promoting/sharing goose stuff as of late, which may explain that. Definitely fewer wooks
