"GOLDFISH are without doubt the most exciting live band in the country at the moment. Their unique blend of deep house grooves, live instruments and hypnotic vocal samples have made them the must-see band of the year."
Goldfish’s wildfire rise to the top of the burgeoning South African music scene has been nothing short of extraordinary. In the year since their hugely successful debut album Caught in the loop was released, Goldfish opened for artists including Fat Boy Slim, Mr Scruff, The Audio Bullies, Stereo MC's and in the process brokering Album releases in the UK and Japan.
Voted best live act in 2006 by 24.com, their tracks have been released on compilations worldwide, with Number One Hits in South Africa on 5fm, numerous regional stations as well as reaching number one on the SAMP3 Download Charts. Hailed as the Re-invention of the DJ, their intensive touring schedule has seen them take their unique Cape Town sound to sold-out shows across the globe.
Both accomplished Multi-instrumentalists and Jazz musicians in their own right, David Poole and Dominic Peters have taken their grounding in Jazz and broken boundaries on the dance floor combining Samplers, Saxophones, a Groove box, Keyboards, Vocoder, Electric Double Bass, Flute and effect units into a spur-of-the moment, cutting-edge live remix performance. When performing live, they are DJs so to speak, but with no predestined CD or Vinyl. Everything is created live, allowing a completely unique, spontaneous performance at every show.
“Whether it’s performing to thousands on the beach in Cannes, rocking out a club in Japan, or playing a sundowner set in Cape Town, we just love what we do…”
It clearly shows. With their infectious enthusiasm converting any audience they play to, Goldfish are sure to do the same to you.
