“Our gratitude to everyone who’s been with us and allowed the madness of the last nine years to happen is far beyond anything we can palpably express.”
Having appeared recently at Melbourne’s own RISING Festival in June this year, the news of their disbandment comes hot off the back of their North America and Europe tour, supporting Snail Mail. In light of their decision to split up, they have cancelled their shows scheduled for August this year across the United States, where they would have joined Interpol and Spoon, as well as performed with Pavement.

With the trio having banded together in 2013 while they were still in school, they’ve come a long way since their formation nine years ago. With the release of their first album coming in 2016 and singing to Madator Records in 2020, The Goon Sax’s disbandment will leave a hole in all of our hearts.
“For us it feels like a happy ending. We love each other and we love you! Thank you for everything”
The Goon Sax might have just called it quits, but you can still listen to their music on their Bandcamp.
