N°66 GOOSE - WORDS

ABC are letters and letters form words and Words is the song Goose first released from their excellent 2010 album called Synrise.

Goose stands for Belgian Electropunk created by 4 youngsters under the vision of Mickael Karkousse who sings the lyrics and is the obvious frontman. Aprat from Mickael the band is formed by Dave Martijn, Bert Libeert and Tom Coghe and this formation took place in the year 2000.

Bringing electropop and electropunk the synthesizer are their main weapons but if you’d see them perform live on stage you’ll notive that live (base) drums also take a central place in the complete show. Their live shows are also very vivid and kicking and always a sign to start a huge party.

Two years after their formation they won Humo’s Rock Rally (I’ve told you earlier about this contest and used it before as a link so I won’t do it this time) and they started recording their first ever single called Audience. Later used by Coca Cola as a tune fort heir European commercials. They kept working on their succes and in 2006 a first CD could be found in the stores. It was called Bring It On and Black Gloves is a remarkable  single from that CD. Their mostly instrumental music would prove an interesting tool for commercials and Heineken used it to promote their products during their Champions League sponsoring in 2006.

The band’s music also appears in the first episode of season three of CSI New York. One of the best selling police series worldwide from the past years. This succes led to a second album released only last year with the beautifull title Synrise. From this album Words was the first single released and so far their biggest hitlist success. Also check out the title trakc from this album which I even like a bit more.

 Enjoy this Belgian piece of music. (live!)
