The Go! Team: Bottle Rocket

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.

Go! Team fucking rule. All I can say

Re: The Go! Team - Bottle Rocket

erm no they don't

Re: The Go! Team - Bottle Rocket

oh yes they do!

Re: The Go! Team - Bottle Rocket

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

Re: The Go! Team - Bottle Rocket

soooooooooo soo soooo sooo true
go! team allll the way!!

The Go! Team - Bottle Rocket

Erm yes they do.

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

The Go! Team - Bottle Rocket

i like that review.
i like it a lot.

The Go! Team - Bottle Rocket

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

Heard 'em on the radio this morning.
Meh.

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

aye, the sound was a bit shit at glasto, I hope the soundman got sacked or something.

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.

Re: The Go! Team - Bottle Rocket

yeah I want to that hmv thing, 'twas enjoyable.

Re: The Go! Team - Bottle Rocket

I was there too, it was very good, especially when they 'rock out'

The Go! Team - Bottle Rocket

i think this was the worst track, but then again, i'm not to be trusted.

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....

The Go! Team - Bottle Rocket

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

all together now:
'2,4,6,8,10!'

I love the go team

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!

The Go! Team - Bottle Rocket

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

The Go! Team - Bottle Rocket

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

Re: The Go! Team - Bottle Rocket

you're probably just too old for it marco.

The Go! Team - Bottle Rocket

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.

Re: The Go! Team - Bottle Rocket

iv just bought their album having heard none of their stuff do hope i donee goooodddddddddd ! putting it on in my car straight after work wooo!

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.
