Goat at The Riverside Newcastle , Thursday 20th October 2016

#Gadgees decided to check out the current Psychedelic/Progrock  scene at the Riverside, Newcastle to see Goat supported by Josefin Öhrn + The Liberation,  a Swedish double bill.

This #Gadgee came into this gig cold not having seen anything of either band.
I watched the support band unaware of their name never mind their previous work.

So, Josefin +The Liberation were a breathe of  fresh air, providing a short, supporting set for Goat but were ,for me, the highlight of the evening, with a driving set of Psychedelic rock, referencing early Pink Floyd & a charismatic singer who delivered in style, certainly a band to see again

Goat, whom I thought would be some dadaist performance outfit,  turned out to be a Voodoo fixated masked prog-rock ensemble performed a thundering set which was a visual & musical barrage of sound. The anonymous singers/dancers were  an energetic duo fronting a driving musical beat encompassing electro-world-dancing music with a Viking twist.

Gadgees have waited a long time to catch the Swedish band Goat on tour and were not disappointed. The make up of the band is a traditional psych rock line up - with 2 female singers/dancers - and the main members in masks. The band and music were engaging and they played a great rock set.

The Swedish support band was superb; sounding very similar at first to early Pink Floyd. The female lead singer and organist was dominant; and the guitarist played a brilliant lead. This gadgee bought the new album afterwards and it's still on the turntable!
