The Go! Team

The sound from the Go! Group, a six-piece group from Brighton, Britain, is a sensational mixture of indie rock and roll guitars, police display styles, hip-hop beats, and schoolyard chants constructed on examples and augmented by live instrumentation. The founder and innovator of the Group is usually Ian Parton, who provides acoustic guitar and sculpts their sound. All of those other group contains Sam Dook on acoustic guitar, banjo, and drums; Chi “Ky” Fukami Taylor on drums; Jaime Bell on bass; Ninja on vocals; and Kaori Tsuchida on drums, acoustic guitar, keyboards, and melodica. Their 1st release, 2000’s OBTAIN IT Together, was mainly a solo work by Parton that obtained support from John Peel off among others, but legal complications prevented a well-timed follow-up. By enough time of 2003’s Junior Kickstart solitary, the group have been put together (and included Silke Steidinger, who remaining in nov 2005) and authorized to Memphis Sectors. Thunder, Lightning, Hit premiered in 2004 and quickly became a feeling within the U.K., where it had been nominated for the Mercury Reward, and in the U.S., where in fact the music group became an MP3 blog page darling. A bidding battle ensued within the U.S., with Columbia earning, but prior to the recording could gain launch, lots of the examples needed to be changed (which didn’t impact the grade of the record whatsoever). The group implemented up the record with two U.K. singles, 2005’s Container Rocket and 2006’s Ladyflash, and intensive globe touring. While Thunder, Lightning, Hit was an creative achievement, it didn’t sell just how Columbia could have liked as well as the music group discovered itself label-less in the us. Sub Pop shortly selected them up and (with Memphis Sectors) released Proof Youngsters in 2007. Following a longer break, the group came back in early 2011 using its third record. Rolling Blackouts got exactly the same primary group as prior records and highlighted guest performances by Deerhoof’s Satomi Matsuzaki and Bethany Cosentino of Greatest Coastline. After another longer break, where Parton known as a music group meeting and fundamentally fired the complete group, the 4th Go! Group record, The Picture Between, premiered in early 2015. With Parton contacting all the pictures musically along with a different vocalist on each monitor, the record was both a go back to their early method of working along with a step in a fresh direction.
