artist Escape Goats

We are Escape Goats. Our lead guitarist plays the drums, four different, but equally unconventional voices sing lead vocals and our guitar player recently learned the names of all five strings on his guitar. No matter what cool bands we aspire to imitate, we never pull it off well enough for anyone to be able to tell what kind of music we're supposed to be playing. Ideally, we'd just like to play songs that rock, and maybe amuse people a little with our witty lyrics. Really, we amuse people a lot with our midget leaps towards rock and roll greatness and make our parents a little upset with our self-damning and sometimes offensive lyrics. We have been playing music together and writing songs for five or six years but we reformed as Escape Goats in the Spring of 2003. Since then we've released two EPs and two full-length albums. If you listen to them, you will notice that we utterly fail to play guitar like Jack White, and you will find no tracks polished with the perfect production of TMBG. The complete lack of confused Malkmus-esque lyrical genius will strike you right away, perhaps painfully. Brilliant Beatles-like arrangements and perfect harmonies are also totally absent, but we were thinking of them while we did our thing. We live at www.escapegoats.ca and www.drinkingcap.com!
