After knockout performances at SXSW in 2015, Australia’s DIY punk sweethearts The Gooch Palms have firmly planted their feet in American soil and have since played over 100 shows across the USA and Canada to packed rooms and rave reviews. They are fast becoming known as one of the most entertaining live bands in America and are breaking out of their strong cult following to reach out to a broader audience.
Their debut album NOVO'S, released in 2013 on Australian label Anti Fade Records, sold out of the both the original and second pressings and has since been re-released on Burger Records in the US and Surfin Ki Records in Europe.
Despite being extremely busy with touring in 2015 the duo still managed to squeeze in a recording session with producer Bill Skibbe (The Kills, Black Keys, Wild Belle, Protomartyr, Jacuzzi Boys) to work on their second album in Benton Harbour, MI.
Early 2016 saw The Gooch Palms head back to their native country of Australia for a homecoming tour only to return shortly after to the US for their second appearance at SXSW in 2016 and yet another US tour.
Keeping true to their DIY ethos, the pair will be releasing their second album “Introverted Extroverts” in mid 2016 on their own label Summer Camp Records and will continue the hard work with an extensive worldwide tour to follow.
The Gooch Palms are truly a unique, refreshing and hard working band that are creating a world of buzz which is whole-heartedly deserved.

"The Gooch Palms are a total party band. They wear colorful, kitschy outfits and sing bubblegum-flavored garage rock songs... with absurdly catchy melodies.” - Pitchfork

“The Gooch Palms have been carving out an impressive list of achievements… 2016 is shaping up to be yet another big year for the eccentric Aussie rockers.” - Rolling Stone
