Goat Motor's debut LP
Now available!

Summertime Once again!

Goat Motor is proud to announce it's initial run of summer dates kicking off in Chicago on June 6th.  Last year the band saw very little time on the road while tending to personal endeavors with only four shows in the books.  This year we have four confirmed dates with more on the way including two stops at The Red Dock in Saugatuck.  Since 2005 GM has gone out of their way to play this truly outstanding location right on the Kalamazoo River and has deemed it their favorite place to play outside Chicago.
Additionally, Goat Motor will be making a return after a 3 year hiatus to Grand Rapids.  This time through the band will be playing the Rocket Lounge with a full night of Goat.
As stated there are more dates coming and we will be posting them as they come in so check back frequently!

Closing out Chicago run

Saturday night Goat Motor closes out probably the most simplistic run of shows in the bands 4 year career at the US Beer Co in Chicago.  Starting back in late December at Martyrs' continued with stops at familiar rooms like Cubby Bear and Subterranean as well as some uncharted stages like Red Line Tap and Bird's Nest.  While this does not necessarily mark the end of Chicago shows it will bring a brief break while the band completes some studio work.  Unlike the past five shows Goat Motor will be going on extremely early with an 8PM start.  Check back soon for spring/summer dates are starting to come together.

More Chicago

Goat Motor will be heading in to familiar, yet unfamiliar territory on February 29th (happy birthday McCamie!) when they return to Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood for a first time gig at the quaint Bird's Nest.  Where's Bird's Nest you ask?  Well, thanks for asking!  It's conveniently located about a block north of Fullerton on Southport and Altgeld.  It's a very intimate room tucked in an extremely residential area.  Contrary to the two previous shows, GM will be taking the stage at an earlier time for this one so all you old folks, married couples, parents, and plain ol' pussies can be sure to make it!  Set times and other bands tba.

What's up next?

Goat Motor continues it's rampage through their home town with a stop off at not only a new venue untouched by the trio, but a new neighborhood.  On February 9th Goat Motor is heading up to Loyola territory in Rogers Park to play the Red Line Tap.  It's a very intimate venue tucked right in the quiet neighborhood off the Morse Red Line stop.  Be sure to catch dinner around the corner at the Heartland Cafe, which has been a Rogers Park staple for many years.  Set times will be announced soon so check back frequently!

Late Nite At Cubby Bear

Goat Motor makes a triumphant return to yet another favorite on Saturday, January 19th when they take the stage at Cubby Bear.  This will be the band's fourth appearance at the legendary Wrigleyville club and second time headlining.  Goat Motor will be taking the stage at about 12:45 and playing until 2:30 so quite a long night awaits and you won't want to miss it!

  New Photos added

We've added some new photos to the Media page from the recent Martyrs' show.  There will be more to come as well as a new track that is on the way!

Martyr'd at Martyrs'

After a 3 1/2 year hiatus Goat Motor returns to one of their favorite Chicago venues to support Family Groove Company on December 27th.  This is also an 18+ show so all you younger Goat fans can come out and not only Rock out to The Goat but experience one of Chicago's best music clubs!  Showtime is at 9PM with Down Lo from Minnesota opening up the evening.

A NEW FACE
For those of you who haven't caught a Goat show in a while, you may not have had a chance to see the latest member of the Goat family in action, Mr. Jeff Kelly on the drums.  Jeff made his debut with Goat Motor in Indianapolis last June and after a successful summer run became a full time member.  Jeff comes to us from working with a long line of great Chicago bands including Happy Butterfly Foot, Ted Wulfers, Diana Rein, and his own trio Monorail.  Along with being a concrete backbone on the kit he also has his masters from Berklee College of Music and is a tremendous Jazz drummer (even though like his band mates, he adores looking down upon the vast array of Jazz Nazi's Chicago has to offer).  And just when you thought he couldn't possibly add anything else to that incredible resume he is also one hell of a producer.  He proves this with the recent tracking, mixing, and mastering of Goat Motor's latest studio feats (which can be found on the media page).
