Hailing from Manchester in the UK, acoustic-electronica trio GoGo Penguin are pianist Chris Illingworth, bassist Nick Blacka and drummer Rob Turner. Drawing on a heady brew of influences from Brian Eno, John Cage, Massive Attack and Aphex Twin to Manchester’s grey rain-streaked urban streets, they create a brave new sound that is wholly their own.

Defined by skittering break-beats, powerful sub-bass, telepathic interplay and a penchant for anthemic melody they create an emotionally rich palate for the listener that has seen them hailed as the most exciting new band to emerge from the UK in years.

Starting in Coventry, Wes spent a number of years fronting a rotating roots ensemble called the Dirty Band, with which he recorded his first album, 2008’s Now Look Here, It’s The Dirty Band, See? Although he continued to play with the Dirty Band live, he stripped down his sound for 2010’s largely acoustic solo effort Asthill Grove. His 2012 follow-up, Mayflower, was more sonically expansive, using field recordings and eclectic full band arrangements.
Echoes of American artists like Conor Oberst, Elliot Smith, and Ryan Adams can be heard in Finch’s style, which feels rooted in folk music but has the ambition and sophistication of pop. 
Following the release of Mayflower he began touring more heavily, playing clubs and festivals and supporting U.K. folk veterans like Billy Bragg and Martin Carthy. Working with Producer Gerry Diver (Sam Lee, Lisa Knapp, O’Hooley & Tidow), he recorded his fourth LP, the ambitious and more experimental Awena, which was released in 2015

Amusement Park is Grunge-Pop. What the hell does that mean I hear you ask? Well, good question. Amusement Park has that flithy, powerfully riffy guitar and thudding bass that you’d expect from the likes of Nirvana and Queens Of The Stone Age, but has a slightly different focus; snappy melodies and pop-like hooks. Keeping it down and dirty but an injection of catchiness to make you want you to sing along at the top of your lungs but to also get on your feet and dance and with all the energy you’ve got. 

The name is simple. Who doesn’t like Amusement Parks? The band always were fascinated by roller-coasters, haunted houses and clowns when they were kids. The adrenaline buzz before, during and after the ride. The thrill and thirst for more. The contagious atmosphere of the rides that persuades you to try it again and again. That is what they are about; bringing music full of energy and excitement, where you can’t help but sing along or move your feet. Where everyone lets loose, forgets about the day at school or at work and just enjoys themselves, no limits. To Have a dance, have a drink, have fun. No thinking, just doing what you feel like doing. Being a child again.

Live is where they thrive. Energetic and vibrant with one simple goal in mind. To party like its the last god-damn party on the planet! A chance to dance, to create mischief, drink and fool around with a high spirit and a high tempo. They want you to revisit and to leave the venue with moments lingering on your mind. This is Amusement Park. Join the Ride.
