The Baby Goats

The Baby Goats are the SURPRISE:
An original act —with some covers mixed in—that dares you to dance to us.

This will not be a playlist; it'll be a performance.
This is not just a band; it will be a concert like experience.
We're not quiet; we are loud and we are real....in the best possible way.
Our full light show is provided at no extra fee.
Whether a corporate event, a college party, or your local bar's Saturday night, The Baby Goats are your choice.

We always hear the same thing:
"Every time these guys come in here, the crowd, the bouncers, the bartenders...everyone is just so happy."

Our show will take you on a trip, and you won't regret hiring a band that plays originals you've never (yet) heard.

Book The Baby Goats and find out.

RECENT PRESS:

“This isn’t nostalgia. it’s a fresh and exciting reimagining of the past.”
—CHRIS MARIOTTI, EDGAR ALLAN POETS (US)

"The Baby Goats ‘ELECTRICITY’ is a powerful song that sends its charge directly into your heart. It’s a mix of new-rock, electro-funk, and there’s a light sprinkling of punk around the edges if my pallet isn’t deceiving me.
Whatever it is— it’s fantastic and I am completely and enthusiastically enthralled by it.” —FREDDIE MCKEE, TJPL NEWS (UK)

“An absolute cracker from start to finish, ‘Won’t Stop Waiting’ is truly as good as it gets!”
—JEREMY BREGMAN,MESMERIZED (UK)

BIO:
The Baby Goats are a Heavy Funk, New Wave, Dance Punk trio from the San Fernando Valley, California.

Imagine three new wave, punk rock, metal-spirited dudes who gave it all up for a Moog synth, a Juno X, a Fender Strat and an old beat up drum kit stolen from —I'm sorry— abandoned by the San Fernando Valley Youth Band.

We built a trojan horse out of an old disco club, drove it to the show, parked it on stage...and dared you to dance to us.

If you insist: think Blondie, Talking Heads, LCD Soundsystem, various heavy influences too... but we got a feeling you'll come up with your own thoughts on the matter. Whatever the case: we got styles for miles, and live is the only way to go.

See you at The Baby Goats show.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Regarding our category, we aren't just 80s entertainment or rock. We are a melting pot of Disco, and funk, and indie, and dance and punk. To narrow it down to just one thing, doesn't do The Baby Goat justice. So hopefully this gives a better sense.
