The Gooch Palms are an Australian indie/garage rock duo hailing from Newcastle, New South Wales, composed of Leroy Macqueen (guitar, vocals) and Kat Friend (drums, vocals). Known for their vibrant stage presence and catchy hooks, the pair emerged in the early 2010s, quickly capturing the attention of the underground music scene with their blend of punk attitude and pop sensibilities. Their raw and endearing performances, coupled with their DIY approach to music production and distribution, embodied the spirit of indie garage punk ethos.

Their discography showcases a journey of musical evolution and growing international appeal. Debuting with "Novo's", an unfiltered homage to their roots, The Gooch Palms then moved through the ranks with albums like "Introverted Extroverts", which underscored their ability to balance high-energy rock with relatable lyrical content. With releases like "III" and singles such as "Are We Wasted?" and "Summertime," the duo has continued to refine their sound, exploring a broader sonic palette while maintaining the infectious energy that has become their trademark. Despite their fun-loving image, tracks like "Great Dividing Rage" and "Marfa Lights" reveal a maturity and depth that ensures The Gooch Palms occupy a unique space in the contemporary music landscape.
