Sounds Like
Chili Peppers meet the Flecktones meets Frank Zappa meets Led Zeppelin meets John Coltrane meets Davy Spillaine meets John Martyn meets Aerosmith!.
A fresh sounding Scottish band blending a mixture of Rock, Celtic, Jazz and Bluegrass sounds to form something that will blow the socks off you!. After all a band that comprises of the following members could only be described as "Compelling".
Jim Duncan "AKA Love Machine" is rumoured to be a distant relation to the world renowned lover, Don Juan. A self proclaimed genius who’s many conquests include bedding various female celebrities and even royalty who cannot be named for legal reasons. Main duties include vocals, guitars and general ambience as well as pouting for the female fanbase.
Steven McCluskey "AKA Snib" handles the five string banjo duties in the Goblin camp. Little is known about this man but stories tell of how he suddenly disappeared. He became a recluse for many years in Tibet & China where he studied an ancient and lost martial art, and in doing so earned the respect of the great warriors of a time once forgotten to become the ultimate shaolin banjo jedi.
Kevin Glasgow "AKA Money Shot" can usually be found hanging around Edinburgh’s jazz bars playing bass for food?. He has a dark side to him that is unleashed whenever a period of more than 3 hours passes without him being fed a cheese burger. He is the true psycho of the band so be warned that should you ever cross his path...make sure your packing a warm cheese burger and fries with full fat fanta. You have been warned!. He is proud of the fact he can make love to a woman in 7 seconds using only the B string of his bass!.
Doug Hough “AKA The Huff” handles the beat division of Green Goblin. Before he learned the fine art of jazz drumerry it is rumoured “The Huff” started his career pick pocketing in Calcuta. He then worked his way up the ladder of the Indian crime world to top dog. He gained this status by primarily dealing in the sale of exotic animals and fake rolex watches. It wasn’t until recently when he finally met his hero “Carlos The Jackal” that he turned his back on crime and learned the regal art of percussion.
