From the Cambridge Hotel to the Corner Hotel, Leroy Macqueen and Kat Friend - better known as The Gooch Palms - have laid waste to stage after stage with their stupidly-simple and seriously sensational take on garage rock. They have just completed a national tour in support of Violent Soho, playing some of their biggest shows to date; and this week saw them release their second studio album, Introverted Extroverts. But how did these two Novocastrian weirdos make it onto a national stage with little more than a floor tom, a snare drum and a guitar? The Goochies held court over Thai lunch in Redfern while in town for the final shows on the Soho tour, sharing their story so far - as well as tales of nudity, town pride and Andre 3000.

The Gooch Palms' new album, Introverted Extroverts, is out now via Summer Camp Records.

Across over ten years of going to shows, I've met countless fascinating people that are joined together by the fact I love their music. This is a medium in which I look to find out the bigger picture, the extended story and the journey that brought them to where they are. No genre or topic is off limits. I'm David James Young - and all my friends are in bar bands.
