    Goose has a new drummer – Cotter Ellis. Old news at this point, but i just had the chance to play Ted Tapes 2024 tonight and I gotta say the new guy’s got some chops. His playing is a lot more nuanced than Ben’s, at least on this release.

    You knew they would purposely emphasize the drums with the first release, but I’d say that this might have been the jolt that Goose needed to keep things fresh.

    I’ve been to a handful of Goose shows, and I’ve listened to a couple of their tours on Bandcamp as they come out. I think for a band that had so much hype, they got stale quick.

    Something in me wanted to root for Ben Atkind. I think it was the way the Goose machine handled it… or maybe some of the trolls on Phantasy Tour got the best of me.

    I dig Ted Tapes 2024. And now there’s the Chateau Sessions which I have not heard yet but I will also share here. Any Goose fans in the Community?

    Goose side project Orebelo just released “Rockdale” and announced their debut album out June 7th

    I like this, the acoustic vibe is chill. I’m not really as into Goose as I once was after seeing their set at Peach last summer. I’m not opposed to getting back into them but for some reason they just don’t seem genuine to me anymore. It feels a little bit manufactured

    I just started listening to this band again

    Goosemas 2024 is in Charleston 12/13 & 12/14. Themed ‘Bingo Live’ the shows will feature a host selecting songs for the setlist in real time.

    I will be attending Goose’s NYE run in Austin, TX not long after I move there. 12/30 and 12/31

    My one hope for this band is that they start to change up their performance a little more. Go off the deep end a bit. To me, listening to these shows on Bandcamp, there isn’t that much of a sonic difference between each one. I’d love to see some more variation in the sound.

    Still enjoy the band of course. That’s just my two cents.
