Short description of your band and your music: 
This lo-fi tour de force describe their sound as “shit-pop” proving to audiences that you don't need a lot of members or instruments to make a racket, you don't need to be accomplished musicians to play catchy as hell pop music, nor do you need to take performances too seriously to get your ideas across.

What are you hoping to achieve from showcasing at BIGSOUND?
The whole idea of showcasing The Gooch Palms to industry professionals is a bit far out and foreign to us, but I guess what we're hoping to achieve from this experience is exposure. With more exposure comes more opportunities and we're open to the possibilities that might bring.

Why should people come and see you from amongst the myriad bands at BIGSOUND?
We always put on a stupid and entertaining live show that people seem to enjoy. Whether people leave smiling or shaking their heads, they'll remember us. We're the underdogs, people like to root for the underdogs!!!
