From USA To UK: GOODING - Rock ‘N’ Roll From The PlainsAlt/Indie Rockers Release Single Off ‘Buffalo’ From Across The Pond‘Hey Hey’ is the new single headed for release in the UK by GOODING – an honest, hard-working, big sounding Rock ‘n’ Roll band from the heart of The United States of America. Taken from the album ‘Buffalo’, which saw an original stateside release in 2013, the single is out in the UK on Monday 13th April. This is the first of two singles planned over a one-month period, with a second to be released on Monday 11th May – alongside a re-issue of the album here in Blighty on the same date, in celebration of the bands showcase appearance at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton on Thursday 14th May. The band – Gooding (Guitarist/Singer/band namesake), Jesse Rich (drums), Billy Driver (bass), and Jenny Wood (vocals/guitar) – blasts a majestic, soul-stirring indie rock with soaring harmonies and blazing guitars – infused with the ghosts of Blues and Americana. Their live shows have the confident energy and heart-on-your-sleeve emotion that echo the closeness and passion of these longtime friends. Playing to passionate audiences, lead guitarist/singer Gooding tears up the stage, leaving sticks and strings all over. One of his signature moments on stage is playing two guitars at once. GOODING’s relentless touring and honest interaction with their fans has enabled them to build their following brick-by-brick over the years without the support of a major label. 2014 saw GOODING tour the UK for the first time in their history - a history which has seen them constantly tour the 48 continental states in the US (including 160 cities) and Western Canada; DVD Placement on the movie releases of Iron Man 2, Walk the Line and Ice Age 2; tours around US schools promoting the importance for financial literacy; Front man Gooding becoming a regular speaker at the Conference for World Affairs in Boulder, CO. Gooding was also a speaker/panelist at the prestigious SXSW Festival in Texas two years running in 2013 and 2014. Says Gooding, “Billy, Jesse, Jenny and I have paid our dues with stolen gear, vans breaking down and catching fire, cooking ramen in the coffee pot at Motel 6, all night drives through black ice and tornados, shows with broken bones, no sleep, and no clean clothes. Each and every setback only made us more of a family. A real band was made to play live on the road, and this extended family was made to have their mettle tested to get through anything together. Our efforts have allowed us to slowly and naturally become who we are, and amass a catalog of music and dedicated fans that are the core of everything we do.” New single ‘Hey Hey’ is released on Monday 13th April 2015.
