About Me

We're a three piece band from Auckland, New Zealand. We have a full length album due for release mid-July. Not much else to say just have a listen!

And here's the Be Mine video......

Goon - Be Mine

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 5/16/2006
Band Website: www.goon.co.nz
Band Members:

Christian Wray - singer/guitarist
Rochelle Laby - bass/backup vocals
Andrew Taylor - drums

drums on recorded songs by Gary Lawson

Goon - Perfect Thing


Influences:

Realistically influences come from all over. From music i hear from an unknown source, an avryl lavine song that i don't like except for that cool bit with the drums at the bridge (any similarities are purely coincidental), an old goodie from the seventies my dad just whipped on the turntable or block party rocking out at an friends bbq.

7 bands christian likes however are. pj harvey, ween, talking heads, led zeplen, queens of the stone age, the cure and the flaming lips.

6 bands rochelle likes are queens of the stone age, interpol, new order, white stripes and muse. I like these bands too alot.

4 bands that andrew likes are nirvana, rage against the machine, tool, and the mighty mighty bosstones


Sounds Like:

Hot tomale and cold spaghetti

Goon - Manama Nuts


Record Label: 3 piece of love ep on global routes
