GOOD DOOGS In what will be their third lap of Australia so far this year, WA’s Good Doogs are gassing up the van to once again head east in September for BIGSOUND Festival 2018, as well their own headline shows in Melbourne (sold out), Adelaide (sold out), Wollongong, Coogee, and Gold Coast, and a newly added set at King Street Crawl in Newtown, Sydney.
Put a 6-pack in the fridge, because The Doogs have a brand-new single to quench your thirst.
“Want That” is a track about being aware of different things happening in your life, or at work, or in relationships that aren’t going how you want them to, but not doing anything to change it. Premiering on triple j’s 2018 with Richard Kingsmill last Sunday, the laid back introspective punk-rock jam is a melodic ode to putting things off. If you’re going to procrastinate, you might as well head bang while you wait.
Breakout single “Nothing To Do” blasted the Doogs into the ears of fans Australia wide. Receiving major airplay from triple j and triple j unearthed: including being invited to play Groovin The Moo in Bunbury as well as being picked as unearthed Feature Artist that month, the break out single gained comparisons to Skegss, Wavves, Hockey Dad, and Dune Rats, and also led them to play some of their biggest shows so far.
The success of “Nothing To Do” packed out the rooms of their first ever East Coast tour, playing to hundreds of kids in Brisbane, Melbourne, Gold Coast, Adelaide, Wollongong, and Perth. It also led to signing with Adam Montgomery at recently announced new booking agency Fourtone Artists (along with A. Swayze & The Ghosts, Bec Sandridge, Gold Class, The Gooch Palms, IV League, Slowly Slowly), and a sponsorship from major surf brand Rusty. Not bad for a first tour.
They then released follow up single “So Dumb” before heading off on a sold-out Cap city Australian tour supporting WA pals Tired Lion. Playing to packed out sweaty crowds every night, the shows proved The Doogs were more than just a party band here to have a good time. They mean business. Although, they did give themselves tattoos in the green room… but that’s a different story.
They also got the noble nod of “most hit unearthed profiles of 2018” – sharing the list with G Flip, Ruby Fields, Slowly Slowly, CLEWS, and Didirri – and then premiered the video for “So Dumb” on triple j unearthed and tallied up an impressive 50k views along with reviews such as “THE perfect track for summer” (Claire Mooney, triple j unearthed).
The Doogs are shaping up to be a major player in the surf-rock movement in Australia, jump aboard the ground swell of fun that seems to be following them. Don’t kook it.
