Moongoat are a two piece hailing from Perth, Western Australia. Simon Bennett (Wiggle, Kwook, Kurrel The Raven) and Jeremy Hicks (Enargeia, Low Budget Invaders) create a creepy place, one where rac-ing cars swoop through the night and doors creak and slam. A place beyond the earth and the stars.
Moongoat have been bottling this electricity since 2003, when they, along with former member Ivan Bannon, were commissioned to provide the soundtrack for the Australian fashion show, “Bamboozle”
The results of these sonic explorations form the basis of a series of releases through Hidden Shoal Re-cordings. The first of these is a self titled EP to be released on the 27/11/06.
Simon Bennett (former member of Japanese group Wiggle, several releases as Kwook and proflific out-put as Kurrel The Raven), Jeremy Hicks (NZ native, former member of Thou Gideon, Harry Death and a current member of Enargeia with Mal Riddoch, and Low Budget Invaders with his partner Sarah Tur-vey).
