Go Van Gogh

Go Van Gogh. A band with an alias?...interestingThe former members of greenwheel, once Island/Def Jam recording artists, have their sights set on: "what makes people close their eyes and feel the music, and also dance in such a manner wherein clothes are removed."Go Van Gogh's style blends funky tones recalling the Red Hot Chili Peppers and classic melodic style clearly paying homage to the Beatles. Combined with urgent dance hall beats, jagged guitar riffs, and an overall love for the drama and emotional abandon that makes hearts skip and feet stomp, Go Van Gogh will do more than get your attention.Bassist Brandon Armstrong accurately describes what they desire for their sound, as well as their new philosophy. "We care deeply about our music, but we don't want to take ourselves too seriously. We're at our best when we're acting like complete fools with each other."The chemistry between Brandon, guitarist Andrew Dwiggins, and sensational frontman Ryan Jordan, is ridiculous, but also very strong. How strong? Enough to craft songs worthy of Grammy Nomination. Their song "Breathe" earned a Grammy nod when Melissa Etheridge took the song to number 1 status at pop and adult contemporary charts back in 2004. Ryan explains "It was never something we expected, but we were absolutely honored nonetheless." "We write our songs based on our past experiences, but the songs come to life because of the chemistry we have in the moment." Andrew chimes. "Writing together is what we do best. No, wait... is it drinking gasoline and making prank calls to the nursing home?..hmm...We're pretty good at both I guess."Touring across the U.S. in support of their first record gained these unassuming jokesters their fearless stage swagger. Supporting acts like Our Lady Peace, Hoobastank, Saliva, Breaking Benjamin, and Injected put them in front of thousands of faces every night. "We love to perform. Period." Singer/guitarist Ryan Jordan assures. "It's such a huge part in what takes us and our music to another level." With chameleon like adaptability, Jordan croons one moment, and shakes walls with fierce defiance the next. Passion is the word. It is as genuine as the sweat that cover Go Van Gogh after every performance. "We don't smell good when we play well, let's put it that way" Andrew insists. Brandon includes, "If we stood there and tried to play everything technically perfect, we would be robots. It would be sweet to be cyborgs of some type, but not robots."If you don't give this genuinely talented and heartfelt music a chance, you're worse than a robot...drunk on gasoline...making prank calls to nursing homes.
