Head Medicine have been given the opportunity to ask Goat some more questions, this time about their recent festival performances:
"After a blistering run through Europe's most prestigious summer music festivals, the Swedish tribal psych collective Goat have a growing number of fresh converts following in their wake. Though only a live touring entity for less than nine months, Goat's performances were among the most talked about from their respective festivals, oftentimes staking their claim amongst some of the biggest and best bands in the world.
HEAD MEDICINE recently checked in with the band to find out more about these stunning shows. one thing is obvious after sitting down for a third time with the notoriously press-shy group: Goat lives and breathes inside its own impenetrable bubble, unaffected by the fleeting whims, tastes, or demands from the outside world. They are anchored by an unshakable self confidence and a genuine love of living in the moment, communing through music with each other and anyone who happens to be in attendance, whether it is 150 people in a small club, or tens of thousands at a major festival. Their expectations and ambitions are unusually humble. Goat will be whatever they want to be for as long as they decide. Any future success will be on their own terms.
HEAD MEDICINE: Goat's reputation continues to build after a series of high profile European festival appearances, including Primavera in Spain, England's Glastonbury, and Roskilde in Denmark. by many accounts your performances were among the best of those weekends. are things just getting surreal at this point with all of this growing attention and praise? any particularly memorable or unreal moments over the last few months that would have been impossible to imagine one year ago?
GOAT: Well, that we were gonna play any of these festivals never crossed our minds one year ago but we are happy and thankful for the opportunity to do so. It has been amazing for sure. And I also think that the US tour improved our live set and has tightened us together as a live act so that these shows afterwards have been the best we've done live so far. But I'm sure we can still find new ways to develop live also, with new material and so on. But it is not in any ways getting surreal really cause you have to understand one thing, this is not taking over our lives. We keep our minds pure and simple and our feet on the ground. We know what is important in life and we just try to have a good time and enjoy the ride. If it ends tomorrow we will be just as happy. With that said I have to admit that playing that day time show at Glastonbury seing all those people was something out of the ordinary...."
