Van Goose is the high-energy, beat-driven, DFA/no wave-inspired project of Shlomi Lavie. The Brooklyn-based musician has had a wild musical ride, from fronting a theatrical electro-punk project to his role as drummer in the band Marcy Playground, Shlomi’s experience runs deep. As Van Goose revs up to take their sound from the streets of Brooklyn to the airwaves (or internet tubes, at least), the band dropped by Serious Business Music in Brooklyn to heat things up!

The debut album from Van Goose, Habitual Eater, will be available March 1, 2019.

They also delve into the very first FIFA Women’s World Cup in China in 1991 and even play a game of two truths, one lie.
