Geese have performed a new live set for From The Basement, kicking off a new series.

They open with the album opener, ‘Trinidad’, which hits huge crescendoes in a chorus that sees frontman Cameron Winter acerbically shouting, “There’s a bomb in my car!” Guitarist Emily Green shreds a fierce line next to Winter as the fan-favourite reaches a fever pitch.

Between each song, Max Bassin changes the tune of his drums. They quickly slide into ‘Husbands’, after which follows ‘Islands of Men’ and ‘Half Real’, which sees frontman Winter sing “I’ve got half a mind / to just pay for the lobotomy / and tell ’em get rid of the bad times / and get rid of the good times too.”

After this, they launch into ‘100 Horses’, and the softer ballad on their latest album, Getting Killed, ‘Au du pays Cocaine’. Eventually, the on-the-rise band end with ‘Bow Down’, the furious, spunky single about the biblical impact of heartbreak.

Geese join an incredible line-up of icons who have featured on From The Basement, including The White Stripes, Radiohead, Albert Hammond Jr, Beck, Jarvis Cocker, Sonic Youth, PJ Harvey, Mark E Smith, Red Hot Chill Peppers and many, many more.

Getting Killed was Far Out‘s ‘Album of the Week’, receiving an admirable four-and-a-half-star review. Far Out observed: “The result of which is a heightened humanisation of the records, more tender takes, making it at times, a fitting voice for this obscure new age of indie. Somewhere between humorous, obscure and outright despondent, he, along with the rest of this band, has become a bastion of twisted hope on Getting Killed.”

The band have only a handful of dates left on their 2025 North American tour, including two sold-out shows at Brooklyn’s Paramount, and an appearance at Camp Flog Gnaw in Los Angeles.

Next year, they will play several shows in Australia, Japan and Tokyo, before coming to Europe in March. Following appearances at Primavera Sound in Barcelona, Green River Festival in Greenfield, and Hinterland Music Festival in Saint Charles, they will play two shows in Glasgow and two in London, concluding on September 2nd.
