OT - The Powergoats Thread

Hello folks!
Long time no post (I think my ban is lifted)

Anyways,I re-joined 'Goats Head Soup' in December (a Canadian Stones band that been around since 1991). Since we decided to do original stuff for the first time I've been in the band we changed our name to The Powergoats.

You can check us out at www.reverbnation.com/thepowergoats
You can either stream our stuff or download it for free!

Please feel free comments there and if you like it, PLEASE sign up as a fan (I'm the only one wo gets any fan sign-up info - NO third party is involved). While we're giving away our stuff, it's noice to get some feedback from folks. We try to keep a Stonsey vibe to our stuff (it ranges from 'kind of Stonesy' to, well, you guys be the judge!)

Thanks!
Jamie

you lost me at "Powergoats"

My I respectfully suggest that you change that. (even The Goat-fu*kers is better than Powergoats for Chrissakes)

Thanks Helter Skelter! I'm really glad you like the tunes! Feel free to download them (just hit the li'l blue arrow). Thanks for the kind words and encouragement, too.

Personally, I'd rather hear a band's stuff before judging, if I went by name-only, I know there's a lot I'd never have given a chance.

David said he had a song for me to work on, a bit of a 'Brand New Car' vibe, so I went with that for the vocals - the '94-'95 period I guess.

Glad you like it - we've been getting some great feedback in different forums - it's great to hear it!

David and I decided to post some fan exclusive material as we close in on completion of our upcoming disc, Chrome Libido. You can stream the new tracks until your heart's content, but we thought we'd only have finished material for downloading. First up is Stuck Out, a tongue-in-cheek country flavoured stomper. Deep Love is next, an extended dark, bluesy jam.

We've been getting some podcast play, and our hits and downloads have been tallying up nicely! Getting fan support from other musicians here in reverbnation is also a great feeling. People from other countries are starting to discover us - so thanks everyone! Please feel free to leave us feedback and comments - we'd love to hear from you all.

Just a note to let you all know about The Powergoats' new free 'cyber-single' called Stuck Out. The 'b-side' is called Deep Love, a seven minute-plus creepy/bluesy number with David sticking me on slide and lead guitar. We'll see how that fares...

As promised there's more fan-exclusive content. This time we have 'Tiger Punch', a very raw work-in-progress of mine, and a love-letter of sorts to David's and my hometown, Hamilton Ontario. Every little hit, download or stream helps us bring you this whimsy stuff to get you rockified, so please – don't be shy!

It all sounds good to me.

Original songs are hard to write really, 'cos you have to get the song to stand out straight away. To do that it has to sound slightly familiar but also very original at the same time. That's hard to do. Try it if you don't believe me....spinning smiley sticking its tongue out

Yeah, we're rock cousins coming from the same place - Stones music influencing our own original material - that's rather like the Stones drawing their influences form the Blues guys and Chuck, don't ya think?cool smiley

Hey your new link worked, James
Yeah cool man, I can easily hear that you're inspired by Jagger solo - and not "Chuck Berry R&R"..as you would put it. It's good to hear that somebody write their own songs...one gets kinda fed up with cover-songs-only

I like it. It's better than all of rap, all of disco, and anything Duane In Houston likes.

Yup! We're just continuing the line, I guess - on a completely fan-based grassroots level which makes us Stonerifficly Related Bay-bah!!!!!.

Thanks Erik!

I noticed that one of my faves of ours wasn't in that link - Bowl n' Pin. I re-uploaded it. It actually is more Keefy! See, according to David (the other Powergoats bandleader), Keith IS the Stones! He's a Keef fan, Thru and Thru!

Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you like it!
