Jack Fletcher and Olie Larner grew up in a sunny town called Nailsworth. From and early age a hatred between the two was growing, for one Jack went to Sir William Romney School which in Olie's eyes was for retards, and Olie went to Marling that, according to Jack (and anyone who didn't go there) was full of homosexually repressed jocks.
They went about their happy lives untill one day worlds collided!! They met in the pub. Everyone survived.
6 years later after a Stella and Ketamine binge The Gooch was born!
Be prepared!!
P.S. The music we put up on this site are NOT finished tunes. The Gooch is predominantly a live act, so what you hear are samples of what you can expect from our shows.

Fresh from their show at Barcelona's Primavera festival, Teeth Mountain will be unleash their heavy concoction of new-wave tribal psychedelic sounds on Cube, using driving percussion like other bands use guitars.
Deep, thick layers of rhythms and overlays of ambiance, from the gritty to the sublime, this eight-piece outfit create a controlled mayhem of weighty neo-tribal trance music, part Indian, part African, part Balkan, and part Baltimore, that transforms consciousness and carries the group and their listeners to higher states.
The Wire magazine recently praised their 'refusal to acknowledge any kind of destination point for their jamming, achieving a convincing state of suspension throughout, helped by some engagingly forceful drumming.'
Teeth Mountain pummel with noise and drums but are always inviting and joyous, a new wave of tribal sounds in underground music. Be prepared to witness a heady, peyote-voodoo brew, getting you out of your seats and on your feet. Teeth Mountain will enthrall you in a rhythmic, musical spell.

Rampant Rabbit.
Continuing Leeds' strong tradition of exciting DIY noise rock, Rampant Rabbit are a rare and strange blend brewed in 2007. Musically, the dual bass trio deftly manoeuvre between complex math funk out riffs not dissimilar to Faraquet or Oxes and sludge-laden doom drones for fans of Boris or Melvins. Also they have fit young faces and lots of shouting.
Numbering just 8 strings between them members Henry Myers (Hank Haint, Zoob Toob) Luke James Webb (Dawn Chorus) & Adam Nodwell (Signuls, Massive Heron) have grown a maze of entangling rhythms on a solid foundation of mega-loud rock that celebrates influences including Fugazi, Shellac & Zu. Rampant Rabbit have already stunned crowds supporting the likes of I'm Being Good, Action Beat, Bilge Pump, That Fucking Tank, Take a Worm for a Walk Week, Lords, Nisennenmondai, Cleckhuddersfax & Oxes.
Rampant Rabbit will have a stricly limited edition EP 'Power Trio 2007 - 2009' on tour with them available only at the gigs!
Check it out! I wrote a free book on music production! It's for total beginners, but if you aren't new to music production, maybe you'll still learn something... at least you can send it to your friends who always want to ask you a billion questions about music production! It's totally free too; my goal with this is to accumulate as many BFF's as possible.
It's gonna be The Croft's best EVER Friday night with awesome indie electronica DJs all the way from Ibiza and much much more. Think magicians, think all sorts! SEE YOU THERE!
Nøught are an instrumental three-piece who eschew the traditional confines of guitar-based rock & roll, choosing instead to fuse improvisational noise experimentation onto a clinical endo-skeleton and coating it all in an unholy racket. Ace.
Clockwork & Blue Mountain combine for what is set to be one of the country’s biggest New Years Eve parties… With a combined capacity of over 2000 there is room for everybody at this mixed up night of musical mayhem, hope you can join us!
THE JELAS Straight outta Yate & Chipping Sodbury, The Jelas play experimental pop songs at breakneck speed for people with short attention spans. A strange and wonderful band.
IRON CREASE Debut show! Dr. Robbie Cooper of Geisha and Mr. Stevie Windows ex of Safetyword employ the ancient art of taking drum beats and adding guitar riffs to create ROCK MUSIC.
THE COLOR OF THE SUN Sample heavy guitar pop from this Bristol via California duo. More effects boxes than you can shake a stick at, and some damn good tunes to boot.
FREEZE PUPPY (acoustic performance) A rare chance to see this incredible songwriter and performer present his songs in an acoustic setting. Absolutely unmissable.
+OLO Radio DJ's & [aZa] RUMBOT on the decks.
