It says in the good book that sheep go to heaven and goats go to hell. What it doesn’t mention is that goats also have an affinity for searing guitars, thumping beats and lyrics from another time and place.
Goat Radio, based in Madison, Wisconsin, consists of five young gentlemen, all veterans of the Madison/Milwaukee music scenes. Former (and current) bands they’ve played (or still play) with include The Randy Cliffs, Knuckel Drager, Exene Cervenka’s Original Sinners, The Mighty Deerlick, The Lackloves, The Pugilists, The Low Czars and many more.
It’s been referred to as "Southern Rock," but it’s really more like Midwestern Southern Rock. Kind of like a less-drunk (but still kinda drunk) Replacements with a pedal steel and weirder lyrics.
The Goat’s debut long-player, "Portrait of the Band as a Young Goat," is mixed, mastered (by Joe Gastwirt, no less!) and in the can, and will be out later this year. But we’ll sell ya a burned copy that you can then later trade in for a real one if you want. Do check it out sometime, won’t you? Because then you too will be able to say that Goat Radio already rocked you tonight.
