Van Goat Crazy Horse Presents Ages 21+ Van Goat “Like a skeleton band in hell – jazz art punk on high.” – American Pancake “Back in the ‘30s and ‘40s, swing was a high-energy dance music that people would dance to ‘til they passed out. These days, if a band starts up with clarinets and the ride cymbals, you’ll start picturing your great grandpa doing the jitterbug. Oakland’s Van Goat breathes a healthy dose of punk rock into swing by stripping it down, raw and so energetic that you’ll want to upstage your granddaddy on the dance floor.” – Good Times Santa Cruz Van Goat makes its Crazy Horse debut, touring behind their second album ‘Nobody Cares.’ This release still sits squarely in their self-prescribed genre of swing punk, but is a more mature and thoughtful collection of songs in structure, harmony and lyrics. Loud, heavy surf rock contrasts with swing and jazz; country with groove-centered funk, making for a dynamic and lively listening experience. If you love Gogol Bordello and Squirrel Nut Zippers, Van Goat is right up your alley! “Like a skeleton band in hell – jazz art punk on high.” – American Pancake Van Goat
