The Gooch Palms new album, Australian tour dates
Fresh off tour with punk-rock juggernauts, Violent Soho and back in Los Angeles, The Gooch Palms are excited to announce they’ll be returning to home soil this August to celebrate the release of their sophomore album, Introverted Extroverts with an east coast tour.
Introverted Extroverts is the ambitious new rock album by the Los Angeles-based, but still Newcastle through-and-through, The Gooch Palms. While keeping the band’s origin of cheeky, Newcastle-punk in the forefront, Introverted Extroverts sees The Gooch Palms get smarter, denser, and a hell of a lot catchier. The album’s second single, Ask Me Why, received a heap of praise from the likes of Triple J, Faster Louder and in the live realm including Blunt and Hysteria Mag for it’s endlessly anthemic and ridiculously fun onslaught. Today, The Gooch Palms unveil the prefect video accompaniment to this fruitful number. Keeping in the same vain of Gooch Palms, the band shot this DIY clip on a GoPro, which follows Terry the Dog, on an escapade across Los Angeles in its pursuit of cash to fund a video clip.
Partners in crime, Leroy Macqueen (vocals, guitar) and Kat Friend (drums, vocals) knew things were going to be different for their sophomore album - not only had they managed to charm world-renowned producer and engineer Bill Skibbe (The Kills, Protomartyr, Fucked Up) to join him in his Brenton Harbour, Michigan studio, but Kat and Leroy had been building their momentum as full time musicians. Moving to Los Angeles at the start of 2015, the duo spent the good part of a year on the road; testing the audiences, growing into their live show and all the while, figuring out how to pay their bills living solely off of their music.
Throughout the record, The Gooch Palms paint a juxtaposed image of themselves, “most of the subject matter either deals with how we are fun loving party animals or completely isolated freaks who hate the outside world,” explains Kat, “very few people know that we are introverted weirdos a lot of the time.”
This year continues to be a banner of a year for the duo, as they launch their own record label, Summer Camp Records, for the release of Introverted Extroverts, out 15th June through their online store and Friday 17th June in stores. The album is available for pre-order now and already sold out on clear wax.
