Goldfish’s wildfire rise to the top of the burgeoning South African music scene has been nothing short of extraordinary. In the year since their hugely successful debut album Caught in the loop was released, Goldfish opened for artists including Fat Boy Slim, Mr Scruff, The Audio Bullies, Stereo MC's and in the process brokering Album releases in the UK and Japan. Voted best live act in 2006 by 24.com, their tracks have been released on compilations worldwide, with Number One Hits in South Africa on 5fm, numerous regional stations as well as reaching number one on the SAMP3 Download Charts. Hailed as the Re-invention of the DJ, their intensive touring schedule has seen them take their unique Cape Town sound to sold-out shows across the globe. Both accomplished Multi-instrumentalists and Jazz musicians in their own right, David Poole and Dominic Peters have taken their grounding in Jazz and broken boundaries on the dance floor combining Samplers, Saxophones, a Groove box, Keyboards, Vocoder, Electric Double Bass, Flute and effect units into a spur-of-the moment, cutting-edge live remix performance. When performing live, they are DJs so to speak, but with no predestined CD or Vinyl. Everything is created live, allowing a completely unique, spontaneous performance at every show. “Whether it’s performing to thousands on the beach in Cannes, rocking out a club in Japan, or playing a sundowner set in Cape Town, we just love what we do…” It clearly shows. With their infectious enthusiasm converting any audience they play to, Goldfish are sure to do the same to you. Caught in the loop is a double-disc release consisting of a CD, as well as a DVD, which features a documentary..interview, and VJ set by Iaminawe - mixing videos of Goldfish’s live performance and animation to the sounds of the album. http://www.goldfishlive.com/ Videos and more at MySpace.com Goldfish are currently recording their follow up album, due for release August 2007 “One of the first acts to truly jump the great divide between dance and live excitement” - 24.com Make no mistake, these boys are gonna to be BIG! The two multi-instrumentalists captivate the crowd, and have the UK contingent scratching their heads and saying to each other ‘we’ve got to get these boys over to Europe…’ Essential.” - TrusttheDJ.com “GOLDFISH ... store that name in your memory for longer than 3 seconds, cause these guys are going places.” - Thunda.com “This album shows that heavy jazz cats can make music that is accessible and bursting with groove” - MIO.co.za “Did I mention there are only two of them? Go see a live set, and then buy the disc at the show along with the bonus DVD. You will thank me.” - Blunt magazine “We dig these guys!” FHM “With Goldfish, you can clearly see they are brilliant. There is nothing like playing a classic instrument to prove you’re a real artist, and people thrive off this element of their show. In fact, unless you are standing right up in the front row, you wouldn't be able to grasp the full complexity of what they are doing…Goldfish are breaking traditional mindsets about this music genre” - Durbanscouts.co.za ‘Their musical class shines through with elements of Nu-Jazz and traditional African Jazz mixing brilliantly with bluesy Café jazz ala St Germain. But they’re no copycats. Goldfish has their own sound and it is wonderfully South African with the sophistication of Europe.” – BPM magazine "GOLDFISH are without doubt the most exciting live band in the country at the moment. Their unique blend of deep house grooves, live instruments and hypnotic vocal samples have made them the must-see band of the year." Anythinggoes.co.za
