The two excellent clips of the band playing Summer Sundae, posted by the festival organisers last week and then removed shortly afterwards, are once again available (at least for the time-being) thanks to the video wizardry of Mike Courteau. Catch 'em while you can...

New Songs Up On YouTube
Saturday 14th August 2010

Another storming set from The Go! Team tonight at Summer Sundae in Leicester, with the two new songs getting another airing - and blimey they're good! Check out one of them here, which the band have been opening their sets with recently - the other one is here - apologies for missing the start and for getting my fingers all over the lens a couple of times. There's also a set list here and some photos courtesy of Andrew Sowden here.

'In Heaven, Everything is Fine...'
Friday 13th August 2010

At least it will be on the 8th February 2011 when The Go! Team play their first major gig in the capital for quite some time, at London club Heaven. For pre-sales go here. The band have also added another date - the Gogol Festival in Kiev on the 11th of September. Plus they have a stunning new-look website up and running - check it out here. In the meantime it's Leicester tomorrow, a bunch of us are on route as we speak - check back soon (subject to my laptop being fixed in time) for a full report - and maybe more!

New Song News/Oya Fest - Track by Track
Thursday 5th August 2010

The Go! Team have revealed on their Facebook page that Satomi Matsuzaki from Deerhoof will be guesting on vocals on a track entitled 'Secretary Song' on the forthcoming Go! Team album. The band have also confirmed they've been in discussions regarding the new album and touring again. Check out their Facebook entries here and start getting very excited indeed. Mike Courteau has once again been working his magic when it comes to Go! Team watchables. Mike has broken down, track by track, the entire 2007 Oya Festival gig from the NRK TV website and posted them all up on YouTube. Well done that man! Check out on his YT channel here.

More YouTube Malarkey
Thursday 29 July 2010

Thanks very much to Mike Courteau for getting in touch and sorting out an improved version of the backstage interview 'featurette' the band undertook during the recording of a French TV show back in October 2008 here. The interview had only previously been available on the arte.tv site and didn't play too well, so great to have a decent version. Mike also pointed me in the direction of a great Yumi Yumi video (Kaori Tsuchida's former band prior to joining The Go! Team) for the track 'I Am Right!' - a terrific razor-sharp Rezillos-esque three minutes that I now have totally stuck in my head - in a good way. Cheers Mike!

Not that we're desperate or anything but there's another minute's worth of footage of one of the new songs the band played in Salamanca recently here... plus a top-notch recording of Grip Like A Vice from Tudela last Saturday here. Viddy well.

Site Updates
Tuesday 13th July 2010

Apart from getting quite excited about spotting a Go! Team poster in 'Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist' at the weekend (I really should get out more) it's all a bit quiet at the moment - so a good time to highlight a few recent updates to the site. Firstly I've added a 'noteworthy compilations' section to the Discography - hopefully self-explanatory - check it out here. There's also a found interview with Sam Dook about all things Brighton, plus there's a newly-added press release for Proof Of Youth here.

New Date/Photos/Song!
Tuesday 15th June 2010

The Go! Team have announced they're playing the Castel Ruiz Cultural Space in Tudela, Spain on the 17th of July. The band played in Salamanca, Spain last Friday and there's a clip on YouTube of them performing one of their brand new songs here plus there's some great photos of the band taken by Lucia Babiano here. Big commiserations to the band and fans in Warsaw following the last-minute cancellation of the show on Saturday due to rain taking out the sound desk.

Archive Session Track
Saturday 19th June 2010

Back in the days of yore The Go! Team knocked out some stupidly-good radio session versions of Huddle Formation for various stations around the globe. Here's a very fine example from their session for Glasgow Beat 106 FM (circa late 2004?). There's also a bit more info on the band's gig in Tudela, Spain next month here.

Old Interview on i-Tunes
Saturday 22 May 2010

There's a free podcast interview with Sam Dook, dating back to 2007, from the 'The Watt From Pedro' show, available in i-Tunes. Interesting stuff regarding his musical background and other bands and projects, as well as The Go! Team - plus a bunch of records selected by Sam himself. A whopping three hours in total - check it out on i-Tunes here (the interview is dated 23 June 2007).

New Track on YouTube
Sunday 16th May 2010

Hot on the heels of yesterday's news that the band played a couple of new tracks on Friday night, there's now a clip on YouTube of the opening song - not fantastic quality but the track itself sounds rockin' and a big 'merci' to bobofieff for recording/uploading it. Check it out here.

Two New Songs Played in Lyon
Saturday 15th May 2010

Many thanks to Stephane Ghazarian for the very welcome news that the band played two new songs last night at the Nuits Sonores Festival in Lyon - and for a photo of his autographed set list! Both songs have the working titles of 'New Break' - one of which is presumably the track debuted at Sonic City last month. Click on the above photo for a betterlook. Cheers Stephane!

Live Sonic City Tracks On-Line

There's three live Go! Team tracks from the Sonic City gig at De Kreun last Saturday on-line now at the 4X4 website here....and both posters have now got homes to go to.

New Song!
Sunday 18th April 2010

I saw The Go! Team play the Sonic City festival in Belgium yesterday -a terrific show made super-special by the first-time inclusion of a stunning brand new song - no title confirmed (although a set list had it down as 'New Break' - possibly a working title?). I'll write up more about the gig and new song on my diary page tomorrow. In the meantime here's the set list - and keep an eye on the 4X4 website here as I understand from the chaps at De Kreun that some footage from the gig will be on-line within the next few days. I know that two other parties videoed the new song so hopefully that may also surface somewhere soon. De Kreun were giving away some nice A2 size posters for the festival - I have a couple of spares, if anyone would like one, drop me an e-mail and I'll stick 'em in the post. Massive thanks to The Go! Team for a storming gig and also to the gang from Kindamuzik in Rotterdam for your great company (and cigarettes!).
