Goose live in Lausanne, Can't stop them now!

Sometimes, live concerts can be a lottery.
You can have great expectations and be disappointed, as well as walk in unknown places and come out with a smile.

Last Friday, we hit jackpot. We knew Goose. We knew how good their music is. We just didn't know how stunning their live performances could get.
These four guys are very talented and smart musicians and we can't possibly be happier to have witnessed this great gig.
They opened their live set with the title track from their latest album, Synrise, quickly followed by Can't Stop Me Now and Black Gloves, a great hit (which also got remixed by The Bloody Beetroots) from their previous release Bring It On. At this point we couldn't stop dancing.
We were literally floating in the beauty of their music, especially while listening to songs like As Good As It Gets and Everybody.
Many persons, even the event organizers at Les Docks, describe them as similar to 'Justice, Klaxons'...nothing could be more untrue, they're far better. And here is why.
Great bands know how to use instruments to create great music. Only a bunch, however, know how to use silences (and breaks) to make it even better. This is Goose's greatest strength, and you can't find a better example than the previously mentioned Can't Stop Me Know.
If you're one of those persons who can't be bothered listening to an entire new album, get this track first. You'll buy the rest right after.
France and Holland are going to be struck next, don't miss these guys.


[SPOILER ALERT] If you're wondering how I know the tracklist in detail, look at the pictures. I personally fought to get it, and if Goose want it back...well, I'm keeping it anyway! :)
