Will DennisThere was a time (say ~6 mo’s ago) that I wouldn’t think of missing my hometown #Goose show (been seeing shows at the Mann for decades!) but I took a miss on last night, and am blowing off Homdel NJ for (sorry Chop!) a bluegrass festival. Still love (for the most part) Goose music, and Cotter is great. But #Eggy #BMFS #pigeonsplayingpingpong etc have more of my mindshare now. [2/2]
Jess@wdennis what bluegrass festival? It’s been awhile for us and that seems like a nice thing to do in sept.

@wdennis in a similar place. A year ago I was 100% sold and would travel. Now, it’s only a hometown show and the price needs to be right. Will go tomorrow for $45 and 40 min away. Still really like them, but something is off for me. Hard to put my finger on it exactly, just not as excited about them as I was a year or two ago.

Jfrites@vriphish76 @Phreba @wdennis I think a big part of it is the messiness of it all.
I run Fantasy Goose and don’t even play it consistently anymore.
A let down for me is the Orebolo album. I listen to Orebolo a lot and would do anything to catch a show, but the studio album was a major let down because it is all just Goose songs.
I am excited to go to my show in LA but not even thinking about going to SD or SF.
I also think a huge miss not releasing a new album of new songs with Cotter.
@vriphish76 @Phreba @wdennis I guess my point is that I wish they would just focus.
They are not big enough to have three side projects, that are really just the same group.
Work on optimizing the show, adding visuals, growing as a band and stop all the other nonsense.
Be Goose or be Orebolo or be Vasudo, just pick one and I will follow.
@vriphish76 @Phreba @wdennis Also for band that exploded because of the access they gave fans during covid why are they so horrible at it now.
The videos they put out just make them look deuschie.
They have no point and run for 40 minutes of them doing nothing.
Maybe this does go to some of the management stuff being called out in other threads, but it is bad.
Good content needs to have a point and what they put out does not.
@chris @vriphish76 @Phreba @wdennis damn. I gave you a crack and kicked the door in.
I am 100% sold on them for me, but I was never a guy that travels to see bands and stuff.
I will see them when they come through LA 100 times out of 100, but not sure I will travel to another Goosemas or anything yet.
I would travel to SF or SD to see Orebolo, I think the presentation is so beautiful and I want to catch a show.
C.J.H.3 💀🪿🥚🐐@wdennis Go where your ear takes you. Over the past few years I've been concentrating on smaller bands, smaller venues and really tiny festies. Of course, I saw Goose last night because it was right in my back yard, but I've been pulling back from a lot of the bigger shows I used to do and finding new music where there's not a lot of people.
