Formed in 2003. Initially founded by Max and Cody, with Chris entering the band two seconds later, and Rodney replacing the previous drummer, Goosey encompasses various musical styles including beach rock, funk, alternative space rock and others. Our sound must be heard to be understood. We are unique in the Jersey scene where screamo and hardcore abounds. At shows, we have stunned and intrigued the audience with our chill style. We provide something a little different from the norm. 311 and Hum are the two main influences. Our genre could tenatively be seen as "spacey beach rock" but that would be an oversimplification. We have played several shows, and seek to play more.
Heres a recent review of our performance at Rutgers University written by Neal Chandradan:
Goosey were extremely good. Hands down, my favorite band of the evening. Their music has a very artistic quality to it, like their instruments are also paintbrushes where they're painting sonic landscapes. If Goosey were to shoot a music video, I think it should be animated since I found a very visual quality to the music and it'd lend itself well to some interesting animations. I love the artistic song titles like "Nocturnal Canopy" and "Velvet Maya." I liked that they kept that really chill vibe even during some of their heavier numbers- which were great fun to watch as the band really got into it and were moving around a lot. In the beginning of their set I was thinking "the music is good, but they're kinda boring on stage" but as their set progressed, they started getting more animated and became enjoyable to watch as well as listen to. I loved their singer's voice. Very distinctive and powerful. Bassist Chris had some great breakdowns and solo sections. Damn good player. The lead guitarist was probably one of the most finessed users of effects I've heard in a long time. We in Sullen Door would love to do shows with you guys, if you'll have us.
