Go Cactus – Just For Fun
GO CACTUS
“Just For Fun”
Pulaski Street
Burger Records (2020)
Go Cactus are two brothers and a cousin who barely in their twenties already take part of that generation of bands that stands for renewing the combative rock at the dawn of the 70’s. In 2018 they released their first EP which condensed the distinctive features of the next-to-last lo-fi garage-punk revision, the same started by bands like The Parrots, Los Nastys or Los Bengala. Nevertheless, Go Cactus display a certain degree of academicism that, with no doubt, set them apart from the hype, recalling big names in the genre as The Nomads, The Fleshtones and the legendary Limes Spiders.
2019 has been the year in which Go Cactus have been made known to the public with more than 50 concerts in festivals and all sorts of parties, and also the year where they opened for Franz Ferdinand in front of 2,500 people and going on stage beside The Posies or The Cynics. This new 3 song EP has been recorded and produced in NY by Matt Verta-Ray (The John Spencer Blues Explosion, Heavy Trash, The Glories, etc.) and is to be released at the end of February by Burger Records followed by a tour in UK, US and Spain.
