About Goats Don't Shave

Goats Don't Shave formed in Smethwick in Summer 1983. The original line up was Ian the Goat - vocals, Ewan Watters - guitar, Richard Edwards - bass, Anthony Goldrick - synthesizer, Neil Fanthom - Keyboards, George Russell - drums. They soon started gigging around Birmingham and The Black Country gaining a reputation for their shambolic performances and off the wall humour. In 1985 they released their first single, 'A Rumour', on local label Shoestring Records. Around this time Neil Fanthom left the band and was not replaced. The following year they began work on their second single to be released on their own 'Go Go Goat' label. Anthony Goldrick left the band between recording sessions. The band carried on and recorded 'Omar Sharif's Moustache' as a 4 piece. The single came out in Autumn '86 with 'Appointment with a Razor' on the b-side. In 1987 The Goats were playing regularly in London, Plymouth and Cardiff as well as The Midlands. Richard Edwards decided to leave the band and was replaced by West Brom's finest bass player, Ragga Rees. Shortly after, George Russell called it a day and was replaced by Dickie. This line up recorded two tracks for a third single - 'Tarrah Trace' - but Dickie quit the band and the project was shelved. Budgie arrived as the new drummer and The Goats continued until Feb 1990 when Ian called it a day and the band broke up. During the 1990's an Irish folk rock band called Goats Don't Shave appeared, became a bit famous and then split up. In Spring 2001 Ian contacted Ewan and suggested putting The Goats back together. The initial idea was to return with the final line up but Ragga was too unwell and Budgie had other commitments. Sadly Ragga died later that year. New members Gary Latham and Tim James were recruited on bass and drums and the band returned with a little flurry of well received local gigs. The Goats continue to gig when the members' other commitments allow. The line up has become more fluid with Budgie returning to play drums occasionally and the bass usually being played by Rod Goodwin.

Marquis de Navany	Jun 13 2009 6:25 AM YES! I do too, but I can't breathe, I can't sleep and my head is throbbing....I went to the Pharmacy last night and she hooked me up, so I hope with these meds I can get to feeling better. I am not coming in this afternoon to work. We might actually do that. Send a text my way and remind me, if you don't mind. I'd love to do that! We are SOOO loving our vacation time and love being around people too. the extra money we made from taking those paid surveys online helped out so much!! you should really do them too; i mean, hey, the extra money comes in handy, right? i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is: www.surveyblingbling.com anyways, so, I will see you next Tuesday.

Marquis de Navany	Jun 13 2009 5:29 AM UGH! It's just that he picks the damnedest (I know it's not a word) times to take a nap. I am STARVING and I didn't plan on cooking because my dad gave us a gift certificate to go to Ruby Tuesday and we had plans to go. I tried to wake him up over an hour ago and he's still laying there. I'm moving on from annoyed to pissed off! anywayz, it went good. We got stuff for our wii. How was yours? know what sucks? that IM supposed to be the one that knows about "web-stuff" and your profile is better than mine? Maybe I should just let you take care of mine like mom does Dan's...ohh, that reminds me, speaking of mom; i finally got her to start taking those surveys online like i'm doing, cuz i know the extra money sure comes in handy. you should really try em. i mean, if i got mom to try it, psh, i can get anybody to, heh..i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is: www.blingforwork.com ... anyhow, I know we are both kinda like "wo ah" right now.
