Goose (Belgian band)

GOOSE is a Belgian electronic rock band consisting of members Mickael Karkousse, Dave Martijn, Tom Coghe, and Bert Libeert.

Described by The Guardian as an ‘onstage powerhouse, successfully bridging the gap between electronic music and rock’, GOOSE has continued to make big waves – almost 2 decades after the release of its much-hyped debut album "Bring It On" (2006) on Skint Records.

NME named them as Europe's answer to New Rave and toured the world with acts like Justice, MSTRKRFT, Steve AOKI, YELLE, Digitalism, Cut Copy, Hot Chip, Klaxons, Soulwax in clubs and festivals from Rock Werchter to Summer Sonic.

Their second album "Synrise" (!K7) not only saw the band working with Peaches (on the highly addictive title track), they also enlisted legendary Pink Floyd designer Storm Thorgerson to create the artwork.

Opening with the title track, "Endless" begins on the front foot – crunching rock guitars, clinical electronics, and a touch of club flair amid the emotive songwriting.

It’s a good summary of the rest of the album.” As visionary fashion designer Raf Simons puts it: “GOOSE is new energy.” And fifteen years after bursting onto the scene with Bring It On, the band’s debut album on UK label Skint, the Belgian four-piece is far from running out.

And then, of course, there is GOOSE NON STOP, the band’s 2018 live set, in which they reimagine their past bangers, and which has led to arresting gigs at festivals like Tomorrowland and Pukkelpop.

And hosting festival rooms like I LOVE TECHNO, Ghent featuring Gessafelstein, Annie Mac, The Bloody Beetroots, Digitalism, Miss Kittin.
