On stage with his new band Vangoffey, former Supergrass star Danny Goffey is set to play a rare hometown gig at Frome’s New Venue at The Wheatsheaves on Tuesday 15th March.
Vangoffey have just released their single ‘Sucker’, taken from the critically acclaimed debut album ‘Take Your Jacket Off & Get Into It’.
The album, which was released in October 2015 on Distiller Records, has been championed by the likes of NME, Q, Uncut, BBC 6 Music and Radio X, and Goffey’s mischievous wit on previously released tracks ‘Trials of a Modern Man’ and ‘Race of Life’ continues to charm the nation.
‘Sucker’ is no exception; a no-frills tale of a failed romantic pursuit, which showcases Goffey’s knack for amusing, relatable story-telling – a definitive trait of the man who wrote classic Supergrass hits ‘Alright’, ‘Caught by the Fuzz’ and ‘Late in the Day’.
The charismatic multi-instrumentalist currently resides in Somerset with his wife Pearl Lowe (singer of ‘90s post-punk band Powder and mother of Daisy Lowe), along with their three children, who star in Vangoffey’s videos for ‘Trials of a Modern Man’ and ‘Race of Life’. Vangoffey plan to tour this year, the details of which will be announced soon.
“’Take Your Jacket Off…’ bristles with Supergrass’ original pop spirit…” (NME) “Vangoffey: earmarked for success” (Q) “Bouncy beats, big ‘60s riffs and wry lyrical vignettes…particularly good fun.” (Uncut)
Advance tickets £5.
