Inspired by the definition of ‘novo’ — a word use to describe the actions, attitudes, beliefs and dispositions of apathetic and lazy people — The Gooch Palms recently released the first single from their album, We Get By, a song spurred by the news footage of The Star Hotel riots of ’79 in Newcastle, an era from which band members Leroy MacQueen and Kat Friend emerged.
With a lo-fi sound that is richly infused with pop sensibility and rock, The Gooch Palms have been lauded as the next Savage Garden of Australia.
