Goshen live at the post conference party.
A great band for those of us steeped in rawk n roll, Goshen played a blinder.
They played original music, a kind of mutant punk blues-rockabilly - the driving rhythyms of Bo Diddley rocked up by George Thorogood gone hillbilly. A heck of racket for just two guys - for three numbers I was convinced a bass player was hidden away somewhere, but no - just a seriously heavy bottom E string drove the sound. Even people who wern't too keen on rock'n'roll appreciated the energy and belief they put in - its not common to see someone so 'in the zone' as Grant Hayunga.
If they did one thing not so well, it was in marketing themselves - it was only by chance as, the coach waited, that I found out a CD was available and only learned their name from the cover. Go find and buy from http://www.goshen-music.com/.

When we were looking for bands for the party we came across Goshen's My Space site and immediately liked what we heard. They remind me of the Gun Club a great punk/country/blues band from back in 80s.
We have links to the My Space site and other Goshen sites on our old party page: Ideum fiesta. I bought three of their CDs, all three are excellent.
