The Go! Team: Bottle Rocket

no votes
? by Michaela Annot
A song apparently written to make you spontaneously dance like Carlton from the Fresh Prince, ‘Bottle Rocket’ is probably the finest moment from the Go! Team’s Big Prize nominated album.

If they chose to, this lot could probably sell any product on earth by soundtracking the adverts with their happy-go-lucky-pig-in-chocolate-mud beats and broken biscuits happy-hop collages. Fortunately, they don’t. So just because Jimmy’s happy-slappy killing an old lady in East London, he can’t blame it on ‘Bottle Rocket’ being the reason why he bought that flash phone in the first place. Which is lucky.

The Go! Team: not killing anyone.

Re: The Go! Team - Bottle Rocket

the fuzziness on record reminds me most of My Bloody Valentine. Heirs to the throne.

Erm yes they do.

My favourite from the album is Huddle Formation though. But this is also a fantastic track.

I like them live, but I feel it al sounds a bit fuzzy on the records.

A damn good tune though.

Re: The Go! Team - Bottle Rocket

bottle rocket: I'm suprised they didn't release it earlier, it's their best track, maybe.

yes probably better live though, I still (heart) the album.

they are just FUN.

Re: The Go! Team - Bottle Rocket

I was extremely disappointed when I saw them live. I kept missing them and finally saw them at glastonbury... and they sounded terrible.

Amazing album though. The Power Is On is their best.

Re: The Go! Team - Bottle Rocket

I left the Peel tent after they stopped playing for a while to sort out the sound. I couldn't be arsed.

Thankfully, the sound at Reading was much better and they were great. And the HMV instore I saw them at the other week was great too. It was quite amusing watching them do the instrumental Sonic Youth-type stuff at 6 in the afternoon in a shop.

Love The Go! Team - was at Leeds Festival on the Sunday watching them on my own while all my mates were at Poo Fighters - I definitely made the best choice. If anybody in that tent WASN'T dancing by the end of their set they must have been dead....

Not a big fan of 'em, but that song they did live on The Mercury Music Prize Awards with like eight cheerleaders shouting "GO! TEAM" was genius. Help me out.

Re: The Go! Team - Bottle Rocket

Bottle Rocket is quality. But I still prefer 'Get It Together'. The only track I can think of that uses a recorder, and damn! It sounds good!

I've been waiting for this for ages. The B-side (we just won't be defeated) is awesome.

Everyone seems to like this band, and i hate them. They sound like a bleeding travelling circus act!

I saw them at Reading at they were fantastic! I love them I love their album.
They are so fun and upbeat and easy to dance to and refreshingly different. Huddle Formationis my favoruite track.

late arrival

Just discovered these - they were playing as pre-band music for Starsailor last week - as a result of which I've been to get the album and I love it to pieces.
