Newcastle's greatest Punk advocates and down right sweethearts just sold out not one but two back to back shows at the Cambridge Hotel. Currently living in Los Angeles The Gooch Palms probably played their only Australian show this year to sold out crowds in their home town and the greatest city on earth, Newcastle. "The Gooch Palms Leroy Macqueen and Kat Friend are a total party band. They wear colorful, kitschy outfits and sing bubblegum-flavored garage rock songs... with absurdly catchy "wooo ooooh, waahhh AI YAH YAAAH" doo-wop melodies.” - Pitchfork
This is exactly what they did in Newy. Put on a party with everyone getting involved and singing along and special vocal performance by Leroy's old neighbour. I am still amazed at how much sound can come from 2 drums and one guitar. If you get a chance to see the Gooch Palms play anywhere I would highly recommend doing so.
Supports were No-Fi's strong local scene; Vacations and PALS with openers Big Chief and the Bottle Openers.
