Goan Dogs, Chris Pattermore

This Bristol five-piece create a mature, intricate and cinematic sound born within the City's rich musical heritage. Drawing influences from a wide artistic pool, the band has a gift for marrying seemingly opposed elements. The dusty vibes of Ry Cooder, Calexico and Tinariwen easily find a home with shades of 50's rockabilly, as does their focus on vocal harmonies and interesting melody. Coupled with a desire to experiment and explore beyond the confines of their influences the result is a cohesive and arresting sound unique to the band.
