Queer As Fuck Pride Party


Silly Goose

The idea of Silly Goose was hatched back in 2011, when Jenn Ghetto (S, Carissa’s Wierd) returned from a tour with Grand Archives. Feeling worn down by the pressure of writing new material for S, an idea hit: why not focus on an intentionally ridiculous side project instead? Having recruited two of her former tour mates — specifically, Thomas Wright and Jeff Montano — the aim of the new band was made clear. So simple, yet so brilliant: Blink-182 covers. The proverbial egg cracked, and Silly Goose was born.

The equation goes like so: Wright is Travis Barker. Montano is Mark Hoppus. Ghetto is Tom DeLonge. Everyone sings, but Ghetto sings lead. What does it mean when a group of three Seattle musicians decides to unironically put their mark on a specific pop-punk band? What happens when the original pomposity of these grandiose singles is recontextualized? What if, instead of trying to “make it big,” they did it just for fun? This is both the pleasure and the premise of Silly Goose.

When asked why they chose these three songs in particular, the answer was let out that these were the ones they knew the best. With that, they offer to the world the Silly Goose EP, featuring three nu-classics from the SoCal hitmakers. They were great before, and here they are, great again.

In between pelvic-thrusting sexual innuendo and self-mockery, Chastity Belt filter feminist theory, cultural commentary and general intellectual bad-assery." - CMJ

“Simple, brilliant chord progressions, shockingly astute lyricism, and noise, oh my god, the beautiful noise.” - The Stranger

"It isn't anywhere near the worst music you'll ever hear — in fact, it's awesome." - NPR

“The connected synergy of Julia, Annie and Lydia’s chord timings ring off Grethchen’s shared drum notes make for a friendlier, full but minimalist, new Northwest sound.” - IMPOSE
