Fortunately,
we dropped the third strike. We are simultaneously proud to post “Dripfield”
and sheepish because it took us so long. We typically leave “jam bands” for
other blogs. Goose sometimes resists the “jam band category,” but they have all
the positive characteristics of being a chartered member (“Strike 1”). We
typically favor guitar-based music – “Dripfield” has strong guitar play but features
percussion over guitar (Strike 2). And typically, we don’t post songs the are a
year-old. Goose released the song as the title track in early 2022 (Strike 3).
It is the title track of their 2022 studio album.
Under
baseball rules a batter is not automatically “out” if the third strike is
dropped. So, despite our previous bad calls in listening to “Dripfield,” the
song is posted today. Goose is a 5-member band from Norwalk, Connecticut. The
members are Rick Mitarotonda (guitar, vocals), Peter Anspach (guitar, piano,
synth), Trevor Weekz (bass), Ben Atkind (drums), and Jeff Arevalo (bongos,
shaker, cowbell, drums). Based on “Dripfield,” it is not a surprise that the band
includes two percussionists.
The
tour schedule of Goose is available at https://www.goosetheband.com/tour.
Among the stops are two shows at Oakland’s Fox Theater on September 25 and 26.
