Its been ages since I've been on the forum, but I wanted to get on and share this incredible band from Australia. They have an LP "The Positions" which came out last year and also just released a new EP last week. Have seen them live earlier this year and they were brilliant.
I actually got into them by chance. Their lead singer was the support act for Chris Cornell's tour of Australia and it was great to see a humble and funny guy really taken back by the opportunity to support Chris.
Here is a link to their youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/GANGOFYOUTHSBAND

The new EP is really good, an extension of The Positions really. They do a stellar cover of Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell on the EP

It will be only all the streaming services on Friday (Apple Music, Spotify etc). I pre-ordered the limited edition vinyl from J B , which I'm sure won't be here until at least next week. inyl is so bloody expensive nowadays (damn you hipsters!!).
The Friday night show at the Tiv is sold out, but Thursday's still has a few tickets left. At the moment, these guys are easily my fav live show, other than PJ

My preorder is from jb, they usually arrive the week after release that's why I asked about the streaming. Triple J used to stream the album when it was album of the week, but it doesn't look like they do that anymore.
Redraw: you'll be disappointed if you miss out!

I can't believe we haven't enticed anyone else to listen, if it wasn't for Chris Cornell and his great choice in support acts, we may still be oblivious to the awesome band.

Can't see any reviews anywhere and all the videos on Youtube are from the streaming services crap
I'll try and get on tomorrow and give an update on how amazing they were

WHAT A GREAT GIG!!!
The Fountaineers were the first support act and I thought they we pretty damn good. Singer has a nice deep voice and they are really solid. I must going to check out their album
Gordi was next and she has a new album out now. She was good, but not much confidence when talking in between songs. A bit meh for me
Then it was time! They came onstage around 9:40. And from that time in they smashed it. Played a lot off the new album and surprisingly played a few songs that I thought would be closers about mid way. Dave is a seriously charismatic front man. He's the best front man Australia's seen since Michael Hutchence. The band was fantastic! Played for 2 hours with only a minute off stage before the encore, which was killer. Lighting and backdrop was awesome as well.
Best gig I've been too in ages!!!

I loved the combo of Let me down Easy into Magnolia and The Deepest Sighs. I didn't think they could get any better then they took a few minutes break for the encore and the last 3 songs were just amazing.
Dave was happy to be in his home town and was in great spirits. The band rocked hard and were very entertaining. I agree Daves the best Australian frontman, I've seen for a long time. I can't get enough of this new album, seeing them live has me listening to it first thing this morning!
If you're in Australia and GOY are playing close to you...go, you won't be disappointed there's a reason why the album debuted at number one.
