History

Goose was formed in the summer of 2000 in Kortrijk, Belgium. Although first starting out as an AC/DC-like covers group, they quickly turned to writing and recording their own songs, heavily incorporating synthesizers into them. They won Humo's Rock Rally in 2002 and later that year recorded their debut single "Audience" with Teo Miller. Coca Cola used their debut single for TV adverts across Europe. They were signed to Skint Records in 2006 and released their second single "Black Gloves" in July that year.A video was created for "Black Gloves" by Nothing To See Here and was directed by Steve Glashier.Their debut album "Bring It On" released on September 11, 2006. They also scored the tune to Heineken's Champions League campaign. In October 20, 2007 "Check" was featured as race BGM in the Gran Turismo 5 Prologue free demo released in Japan. A remix of the song "Bring It On" was featured in an episode of the American TV series Dirty Sexy Money. In the TMF Awards 2007, the band won the award for Best National Alternative Act. In early 2008, "Bring It On" was used in an American commercial for the Mitsubishi Lancer.
