: the go! team




Quizá sea un rapto fresa o un flashback retro-setentero a estas horas de la madrugada. No lo sé. Pero esto es lo más loco que he oído en mucho tiempo. ¡De veras creí que lo que estaba viendo hace rato era un video setentero grabado en Súper-8! Rolitas buena onda que levantan el ánimo y el insomnio. Déjà vu?

The Go! Team are a Brighton, United Kingdom-based six piece band (with two drummers) whose songs are a mixture of action theme songs, cheerleader chants, indie-rock guitars and early hip-hop, with a hint of '70s funk. They place more emphasis on live instrumentation than some of their contemporaries, although they do base many of their songs around samples from various sources.

Initially The Go! Team was ostensibly a solo project for documentary film director Parton, whose debut release was the Get It Together EP, released in 2000 by Brighton-based Pickled Egg Records. This received airplay from legendary DJ John Peel, but following this, legal wrangles meant that it would be another three years before their next release, the Junior Kickstart EP in 2003.
