Debbie Googe (born 1962, England)^[1][2] is the bassist for the rock band My Bloody Valentine.

My Bloody Valentine

Before joining My Bloody Valentine, she lived in Yeovil, Somerset and played for a band called Bikini Mutants, who gigged with The Mob.^[3] Googe had moved from Yeovil to London, and in early 1985, an ex-girlfriend of hers recommended her as a bass player to Kevin Shields and Colm Ó Cíosóig of My Bloody Valentine. She joined the band after an audition in April 1985. She left in the group in 1995, noting she "hadn't been happy for a long time".^[3]

Googe is known for her raucous style of bass playing in MBV's live performances.

Googe joined My Bloody Valentine's 2007 reunion, and their tours in 2008 and 2009.

Work outside My Bloody Valentine

After leaving MBV in 1995, Googe briefly became a taxi driver. She formed Snowpony in 1996 with her then-girlfriend, Katharine Gifford, formerly of Stereolab.^[3]
