GOAT (jp)

GOAT (jp) takes place on 10 November 2026. Venue: ICA London, London.

Following a sold-out show in 2024, we are excited to welcome back one of the most formidable live acts going, as GOAT perform at the ICA this November. Support from Gal Go Grey. *"Perhaps the tightest band in existence right now... we ain’t talking about the Swedish psych troupe, nor the Greek metal act; but the infinitely superior Japanese GOAT (jp) who take the micro-precision of computer music and play it on instruments"* Boomkat Hailing from Osaka, Japan, GOAT challenge the typical rock-band set up with their unique, intricate approach to minimalism, prioritizing pure percussive sound over melodic content. They build compositions that explore rhythms and bringing audiences into trance like fatigue. Utilizing harmonics outside standard tonality along with clever muting, GOAT craft complex, driven, forceful compositions which are both urban and tribal at the same time. Their percussion, for example, comprising of bass drum, snare and hi-hat with a muted bass for every string to hit with a punch. Gal Go Grey is an electronica duo formed of Argentine saxophonist Ignacio Salvadores and London-born experimental musician Tom Grey. They’ve performed together sporadically since 2020, explosive sets that skim the surface of dub, dance and noise, impulsively forming strange shapes in familiar clay. Their shared time is spread thin - Ignacio is also a key collaborator of King Krule and Tom the co-founder of events series Atomiser - but together they released their debut project in 2021 and have been working on new material since, expected for release one day after tomorrow.
