Bio
Drawing upon a vast range of influences, all of which can be heard in their compelling music, from Tinariwen to Calexico through Beirut and onto Ry Cooder, Goan Dogs are wise beyond their years.
The Goan Dogs story started in 2011, when singer Luke St Leger joined forces with drummer Dan Lane and started writing dreamy, lyrically rich desert rock songs. They soon recruited the talents of Theo Mackie (guitar / vox), Bill Sherwood (bass / vox) and Sam Kynan-Powell (brass / percussion / vox) and Goan Dogs was born.
Numerous headline gigs and high profile support slots, with the likes of Zun Zun Egui, Kyla La Grange and Maps & Atlases, has seen them secure their place as one of Bristol’s finest new bands and 2013 is the year they hope to breakthrough – picking up airplay on BBC 6 Music with Elbow’s Guy Garvey dubbing them ‘Bristol’s finest’ and Tom Robinson also giving them a spin.
