The lowdown
With w/ Previous Future and Outta Spite. Twenty years down the line and The Go Set still sound as fierce, as vital, as the first day they set foot on a stage. The Geelong-based band has always squeezed out the sparks from the place where rock’n’roll collides with the spirit of Celtic folk. “...trying to describe the sound of The Go Set is like trying to imagine Peter Garrett, The Pogues, and The Clash having a late night jam in a local pub with an endless supply of booze”. Blunt Magazine (2005)
Amusing, but probably not far wrong. The Pogues and The Clash, along with the likes of early Midnight Oil, Billy Bragg, and Radio Birdman are indeed strong influences on the band’s music. Combining the folk elements of the bagpipes, accordion, and mandolin, with distorted punk guitars and a rock n roll ethos, The Go Set have created a sound and direction all its own... With a new album in the works, this one will be the last show for 2027. Don’t miss out!
