Connecticut-based quintet Goose—Rick Mitarotonda
[vocals, guitar], Peter Anspach [vocals, keys, guitar],
Trevor Weekz [bass], Ben Atkind [drums], and Jeff
Arevalo (percussion, drums, vocals)—shimmy through
the cracks between funk, alternative, and rock with
head-spinning hooks, technical fireworks, and the kind
of chemistry only possible among small-town and longtime friends. The common thread through the stylistic
diversity they employ is a rich and deeply rooted
language of improvisation.
After selling out theaters coast-to-coast and a series
of seismic festival performances, the musicians
welcome everybody on their 2021 second full-length
studio album, Shenanigans Nite Club.
“While we’ve been touring, the record has been
happening in the background,” says Rick. “We’ve done
our fair share of sweating it out and paying our dues on
the road. There was a natural progression until we
really got on the same page creatively. It’s been a long,
weird trip. At times, it was tumultuous. The record is a
companion to those growing pains.”
In the end, Goose chart their own course and
ultimately encourage everyone else to do the same.
“Our dream is to inspire people to step off the beaten
path,” Rick leaves off. “There are a lot of voices that
tell you to play it safe. I think the coolest thing in the
world is when someone breaks free and goes for
whatever weird shit they dream of doing.”
