Ossia, Dan Johnson & Dali de Saint Paul

The return of the most awesome percussive band in the world right now...

"Few other bands possess the focussed, visionary insight and remarkable technicality of Goat in the modern world, and even fewer manage to make minimal music so compelling" - Boomkat

goat are a 5 piece band from Osaka, Japan using percussion, sax, bass, guitar and electronics to make precise, dark and groove-laden minimalist music. Fusing powerful urban and tribal percussion with the avant-garde, their live shows are like nothing else - last time they played Bristol (Strange Brew in 2023) in it was a truly jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring demonstration of musicianship which we absolutely cannot wait to enjoy again.⁠

Since their last performance they have only further cemented their mythical status with their 2025 live album 'Without References / Cindy van Acker'. It has since been christened by remixes by Ricardo Villalobos that have exposed their work to new audiences and expanded their cult status outside of experimental realms and in into dance music circles.

'Perhaps the tightest band in existence right now \[...\] an absolute assault on the senses that will leave you feeling physically wrecked and spiritually uplifted, we really gotta say - nobody else is doing it like this' - Boomkat
