Saturday, February 13th @ Slowdown

Another V Day another mix tape!

In honor of our special guests STDZ this one is a narrative about a pervert that fantasizes, masturbates, goes dancing, meets somebody nice, gets slutty instead, contracts an STD and ultimately finds themselves alone again, with only fantasy to provide an escape from their grief.

I’m Drinkin’ This and Goo have made another mix tape and this one is even crazier than our last one. Kids in Omaha know the Goo crew as tastemakers in the scene, playing new artists and songs at our parties before anybody else in town does. This mixtape is no exception, plus we’ve mixed in lots of spooky Halloween goodies and samples from your favorite horror films and dead celebrities.

Be one of the first 100 people through the door at Sokol Underground on Saturday and one of these glow-in-the-dark bad boys is yours to treasure forever!

Special thanks to Joey Lynch for silkscreening the covers and labels!

Goo presents The Chinese Stars & Sensitive Hearts

Jacob — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 19:08:31 +0000

October 27th at The Waiting Room!

The Chinese Stars are back with more sick riffs and berserk beats, and the lyrics are weird as ever. Eric Paul has really hit a stride in his writing, as evident in his book I Offered Myself as The Sea, published by Heartworm Press.
These guys are a killer live band and not to be missed! They will shake your ass and fuck with your head.
Here’s a couple choice cuts from their new record Heaven On Speed Dial, out now on Anchor Brain records.

The Chinese Stars – House is Burning

Download audio file (03-Body.mp3)
The Chinese Stars – Body

Download audio file (01-Rabbit-Face.mp3)
The Chinese Stars – Rabbit Face

We don’t know much about Sensitive Hearts except that they used to be called Awesome Brothers and that they claim to “make the saddest music in the world you can dance to.” They’re probably going to be pretty interesting, so make sure you get to The Waiting Room on time!

The show starts at 9:00. Dancing will ensue.
Tickets are $8 in advance.

Lincoln Calling!

Jacob — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 03:46:03 +0000

Lincoln Calling is a six day music festival in Lincoln, Nebraska comprised of 106 bands at 35 shows taking place at 8 different venues. We’re playing at the Bourbon Theatre on Thursday, October 1st along with Capgun Coup, Conchance, Talking Mountain and The Show is the Rainbow. We’re wrapping up the evening with a dance party and hoping that more than one person will show up dressed as Honest Abe!
Here’s a few tunes by some of the bands that will be playing.

And here’s a classic that really has nothing to do with this event other than the fact that our state capital’s namesake gets down in dirty in the third verse.

Secret Goo

Jacob — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 22:08:41 +0000

We’re having a secret party in the backroom of Bellwether Boutique at 12th & Howard. It should start around 10 p.m. and go til the wee hours of the morning. This is kind of a moving out party for Bellwether, although they’ll be having the official party on September 4th when they actually relocate to the Passageway. Still, you should come early and get some good deals on clothes and some free stuff from our GIVE & TAKE BOX. If you plan on taking things, you might as well bring some good books, music, clothes, games, costumes and whatever you’ve used and are ready to pass on to your Goo friends.

Apocalypse Goo featuring The Rapture DJs

Jacob — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 18:06:56 +0000

We’re so stoked that Vito & Druzzi from The Rapture are DJing our next party that the world might as well come to an end!
These guys are skilled DJs with dope taste in music, but you already know this. Daft Punk knows it too, that’s why they asked them to DJ their afterparties on their last US tour.
Plus they released a really slick and eclectic mix last year on !K7, which introduced a lot of people to a little ditty called Township Funk that has been played at pretty much every good party we’ve been to since we first heard it in Berlin last summer. Their mix blends the best of all genres to get you moving, from The Bar-Kays to Alter Ego. You should definitely pick up a copy if you haven’t already.

For a glimpse of what we might be in for on June 20th, check the tracklisting of their mix below.

1. The Undisputed Truth – Earthquake Shake
2. Ghostface Killah – Daytona 500
3. Junkyard Band – The Word
4. The Bar-Kays – Holy Ghost
5. Vaughan Mason & Crew – Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll
6. Northend – Tee´s Happy
7. Don Armando’s Second Avenue Rumba Band – I’m An Indian Too
8. Martin Circus – Disco Circus
9. Arcade Lover – Fantasy Lines
10. Thomas Bangalter – Club Soda
11. Kiloo & Phonique – The Passion (Phonique Mix Down)
12. Armand Van Helden – Flowerz
13. Cajmere feat. Dajae – Say U Will

Dead Celebrity Disco with special guests Ssion!!!

Jacob — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 22:21:19 +0000

Friday, May 8th @ Slowdown, Goo presents:

We contemplated the fact that Courtney Love might be upset about this use of this image of the talking Kurt Cobain action figure, but then we contemplated how much money she probably makes off those things, so fuck it!

We’re throwing this party to honor our beloved and departed celebrities, as well as a genre of music which was prematurely declared deceased — disco! Disco is as prevalant as ever! If you don’t believe us, ask A-Trak who posted this excellent Giorgio Moroder classic on his Infinity + 1 promotional calendar.

Download audio file (06-emc2.mp3)

Giorgio Moroder – E=MC²

More proof that disco is a valid musical expression is the work of Arthur Russell. There’s a great new documentary about Arthur called Wild Combination available on DVD From Palm Pictures. Chalk up this post as one more blog for Chuck Russell to check out! Our favorite Arthur Russell tunes are the disco jams he did under the name Dinosaur L.

Dinosaur L – Go Bang (Francois K Mix)

And then there’s our special guests, Ssion!

The Ssion already have a bit of disco influence, as much as say, Madonna did early in her career, but this stellar Glass Candy remix adds a little of that Italian disco flavor we love so much.

Ssion – Clown (Glass Candy remix)

Needless to say we are big fans and couldn’t be more excited to have them play a Goo party! If you want to get a taste of what you’re in for be sure to check out Ssion’s videos on YouTube.

Nebraksa Rave tour 2009!

Jacob — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 05:14:07 +0000

Break out the glowsticks and pacifiers! Pick up your baggy pants from
your parents’ house because on March 19th we’re throwing a rave at Slowdown.
We know that some ravers can’t stop once they start, so we’re throwing
another rave the next night at Box Awesome in Lincoln!

Here’s a little blast from the past and a taste of what’s to come:
