The Gooch Palms Call It Quits, Announce Forthcoming Tour Will Be Last

After a decade of playing and releasing tunes, garage-rock duo The Gooch Palms have decided to call it a day. 

The band's forthcoming tour on the back of recent single, Great Dividing Rage, will be their last.

"Hey everyone, this is really hard to say but after a lot of discussion and back and forth on the future of the band, we've decided that our upcoming tour will be the last time we venture out as The Gooch Palms," the duo released in a statement today. 

"We've been a band for ten years, played close to 1,000 shows across the world, released some 7" vinyls, three full-length albums and some stand-alone singles. We've both had multiple nervous breakdowns and experienced some devastating lows, but thankfully, overall, mostly dizzying highs! 

"We've played with so many amazing bands in so many amazing venues and seen cities and countries we never thought we'd be lucky enough to visit. Playing in the band forced us out of our introverted shells into the world and through touring we have had so many unimaginably wonderful moments and met some great people, a lot of whom we now call our closest friends. But to quote Kenny Rogers, 'You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em.' And it's time for us to fold 'em.

"This will be our last tour as The Gooch Palms and we hope you can make it out to send us off! But regardless, thank you all for taking your time to be fans of our weird little band. Nothing we ever did as The Gooch Palms would have been possible without you.”

The band have also announced a massive list of support acts to help see them out in style. Helping wave goodbye throughout the major city and regional dates include Anty, Batz, Forever Renter, Auntie Leo & The Backstabbers, and many, many more.

Tickets for the Great Dividing Rage tour are on sale now. For the full list of supports, venues and more, head on down to theGuide.
