The Go! Team Bring The Flash, The Dash And The Razmatazz

From the moment The Go! Team took the stage on Thursday night, it was abundantly clear they were in Toronto to party. Regardless of whatever mood the crowd might have been in, by the time the band leaped on stage, everyone in attendance was ready to join in the revelry. The Brighton, U.K.-based co-ed sextet's live show is the equivalent of...

The Go! Team — Proof Of Youth

I liked The Go! Team's live recreations of Thunder, Lightning, Strike, but I worried about how Ian Parton would harness frontwoman Ninja's infectious energy into his sample-crazy indie rock for Proof Of Youth. Thankfully, the transition is barely noticeable. Nor are the individual contributions of Bonde Do Role's Marina Ribatski, Solex and Chuck D...

The Go! Team — Proof Of Youth

I Read The News Today... For Jan. 7, 2011

Remember those Lipton Brisk iced tea claymation ads from the '90s? Yeah, Ozzy Osbourne's bringing them back: A documentary about Sufjan Stevens and his brother travelling to Michigan to see their estranged father is being made. Right now there's no plans to release Crooked River, but here's its trailer: You can win a date with...

The Go! Team — Thunder, Lightning, Strike

I blame both The Avalanches and the music industry for the existence of this band. The Avalanches because if they just got their shit together and put out another record, we wouldn't have to deal with this 70 per cent-as-good version of the same thing. The music industry because if "The Man" wasn't such a dick, The Avalanches would...

The Go! Team Care About The Young Folks

For their follow-up to 2004's Thunder, Lightning, Strike, The Go! Team took their love of double dutch chants and old American television theme songs to the next level. The Brighton, England-based sextet, led by sample-hunting multi-instrumentalist Ian Parton, released their long-awaited sophomore record Proof Of Youth in North America on Sept...

The Go! Team Grow On Proof Of Youth

Brighton, England-based sextet The Go! Team define their sound as a mix between "Double Dutch" and action-movie car chases. But their all-encompassing sound, a disjointed collage filled with relentless energy, represents a pop-will-eat-itself style of mash-up music poised to define the sound of the early 21st century. The band's...

The Go! Team Prove Their Youthfulness On New Album

Brighton, England sextet The Go! Team's follow-up to their Mercury Prize-nominated Thunder, Lightning, Strike debut features fewer samples and more guests than its 2005 predecessor. Proof Of Youth, set for a Sept. 11 Canadian release through Secret City, is another rollercoaster affair that veers all over the musical map. Gareth Parton produced...

SXSW Day 1: The New Pornographers, The Go! Team And World Party Help Kick Off The Fest

ChartAttack's Steve McLean is in Austin, Texas for South By Southwest this week. Here is his first report... sxswI saw a fine performance by Rhett Miller on Tuesday night at Toronto's Horseshoe Tavern so that I wouldn't have to use a valuable time slot on him in Austin, Texas. Since I had a 6:30 a.m. flight to catch on Wednesday morning, I didn...
