The Go Set are an iconic Australian act. Fiercely independent, they have travelled the world delivering their brand of high energy folk/punk. Since 2003, they have played in 25 countries, performed over 1000 shows at festivals and clubs, and released seven albums. Traditional sounds of the bagpipes and mandolin, punk rock guitars, and a penchant for socially and politically motivated lyrics, they’ve been likened to everything from The Pogues, to The Clash, Flogging Molly and early Midnight Oil.
2015 sees the release of their long awaited full length feature film ‘These are the Days” through ABC television. The film depicts the plight of independent music in an ever changing world, and the universal language that it speaks – from villages in some of the poorest countries in the world, to huge rock festivals in Europe. ….The Go Set are touring the US for the first time in September/October 2015!!
