It was a cold dark December day in 1968 when the “Electric Goats†released their now legendary first and last album “The Goats Ride at Dawnâ€.
Obviously Dawn was not too impressed with three hairy arsed Goats riding toward her with 12 inches of vinyl in their sweaty palms. Anyhoo, Dawn defended herself valiantly, fighting off Pete, Pete and Pip, beating them to a pulp and prematurely bringing their careers to an end.
Many saw the goats arrival, and rapid departure, from the scene as a blessing, believing their unique rock/ traditional Chinese and Christian rap crossovers were too far a head of the times which no amount of psycho tropic drugs could rectify leading to a rift in the space time continuum above Swansea. Not a problem per se as Swansea probably deserved it. However, a rift above Swansea would have prevented the temporal rift which appeared above Cardiff a number of years later. This would have caused the complete and catastrophic cancellation of BBC’s Torchwood series and Captain Jack would have been confined to stage musicals and the Nancy’s.
I digress, the Pete, Pete and Pip pulp was removed from the police cordon and stored in a couple of demijohns in the hope that some kind of use could be made of them. The strange brew fermented until it oozed its way onto the lab worktop, down a conveniently placed sink and into the underground, where, by way of extra special evolution and gaffa tape the electric goats reconstituted themselves. If you are lucky and in need, and if you can find them, you too can discover the strange heady mix of goat music, performed by a band so advanced they used digital recording techniques and internet smut many years before they were invented.
