This spring’s inaugural edition of Viva El Gonzo proved an unforgettable milestone in what is fast shaping up as Goose’s most momentous year thus far. The three-day event saw a vibrant array of powerhouse performances from Goose and their star-studded lineup of guests, all set on the Baja California coastline against the breathtaking backdrop of the Sea of Cortés. Goose showcased their awe-inspiring range and creative imagination over the course of seven completely unique sets, with countless highlights including surprising covers, expansive jams on beloved fan favorites, the debut of exhilarating new originals, and live renditions of every song from their acclaimed new album, Everything Must Go. All told, Viva El Gonzo represented a titanic moment for Goose, exceeding all expectations with its genre-blurring performances, groundbreaking approach towards programming, and inspired variety of once-in-a-lifetime experiences, setting an extraordinary bar for future iterations going forward.
The ”Everything Must Go Tour” celebrates the recent arrival of Goose’s new album, Everything Must Go, available everywhere now via No Coincidence Records. Goose’s fourth studio LP and first new studio collection in nearly three years following 2022’s critically acclaimed Dripfield, the album marks both a statement of intent for Goose as well as an arrival of sorts — a journey for fans and newcomers alike through the group’s past, present, and infinite future. The album was met with a great deal of excitement from the media upon release, with features appearing in the New York Times and Vulture and others, as well as a performance on CBS Saturday Morning alongside an interview with Anthony Mason.
Hailed by PopMatters as “superb…one of the best studio albums by a jam band to date,” the album includes such extraordinary new tracks as the propulsive fan favorite, “Thatch,” the searching “Lead Up,” the breezy, atmospheric “Your Direction,” and euphoric first single, “Give It Time,” the latter two accompanied by official music videos streaming now on YouTube. In addition, the LP’s deeply moving title track is joined by a visually arresting official music video directed and designed by award-winning animator Chris Hopewell (known for his distinctive work with Radiohead, The Killers, Run The Jewels, Father John Misty, and many more).
