   About The Goats
The Goats started out as an instrumental rock/jazz band, but after exchanging one songwriter for another they have evolved into something unique.

To call it countrified punk folk rock-core would not be wrong, although it might not be right either. The present line up has been together since October 2005, and the music, much like the influenza virus, is constantly evolving.

--wanna BUILD a SPHINX? in AEONS past, APOCALYPTIC FORCES wiped out whole civilizations and MEGALITHIC STONE STRUCTURES (the PYRAMIDS, STONE CIRCLES and the SPHINX to name a few) were constructed and are the only evidence of those ARCHAEIC peoples. PLANETARY DESTRUCTION is upon us once again and now we have MACHINERY to haul MASSIVE BLOCKS of STONE; i SAY we should BUILD a NEW SPHINX...i, as the ARCHITECT, am drawing up plans for a BAT-WINGED TIGER SPHINX and will be employing teams from across the globe to help make this DREAM a REALITY. all of my WRITING, DRAWING and SONGSMITHING are the means for which i will round up the SEED MONEY to get this PROJECT off the ground. so DOWNLOAD a SONG or 2 or 3! for more info just MESSAGE me with the subject line: '21st CENTURY SPHINX PROJECT'!! thanx a MILLION, BB-GUN DEALRZ!!!
