THE GO GO CULT – PRESS PACK
Formed in 2010 and hailing from Reading, we are the Go Go Cult. Our mission is to spread our distinctive and Wild brand of sleazy Hypnotic 50s psycho-delic garage punk and to warp minds with our infectious rhythms wherever we appear. “……..The chemical mix is explosive. And it will shake your pants.” Raw Ramp Mag, July 2012 This is us: Go Go Nige: Voice of the dead, hypnotic rhythm, tremolo and fuzz guitar Go Go Matt: Ambassador of screaming lead guitar and werewolf howls Go Go Johnny: Hypno rhythm and voodoo beats (Ex Vibes/Purple Things) Go Go Leo: Chief of the low end swamp bass rumble and banshee screams
Music genres: Alternative garage punk, psychobilly, surf, rockabilly, trash “Dealing in’ 80s sleaze, ‘50s swagger and ‘70s salaciousness, Reading’s The Go Go Cult are an ambitious upcoming band with their fingers in a number of musical pies……..” Tom Williams, Vive Le Rock Magazine
Who do we sound like? Think the Cramps, Rezillos, Link Wray, The Tall Boys/Early Meteors a bit of surf guitar (Dick Dale and the Del-Tones, The Surfaris) with a touch of Johnny Cash and Siouxsie mixed in. “50s psychedelic punk, anyone? Yes. Go Go Cult sound like being in a 1950s motorbike gang in America, pushed to the musical limits from the constant threat of nuclear holocaust.” Tim Hooper for BBC Introducing @ The Oakford Social Club.
