Goodshirt are an Auckland based four piece whose home recordings and eclectic DIY styles have taken NZ by storm. NZ's answer to Regurgitator with more than a little Split Enz sound and a Supergrass spirit.
Goodshirt's home-recorded, debut album GOOD released through their own label Cement Records with a little help on the distribution front from EMI has had a huge response.
History
Goodshirt first came to prominence in 2000 with the independent release "Green". After a string of further singles, the band's debut album Good was released in April 2001. Early Goodshirt tracks were self-produced, often using secondhand and homemade instruments and most frequently recorded in Murray's garden shed.
A few more singles were released off the album (through their own label Cement - linked to EMI New Zealand). One of these, Sophie, reached No.1 on the NZ singles chart in 2002 . Following this success the album was released in Australia, Canada and Japan.
A second album, Fiji Baby, was released at the beginning of 2004. Its notable singles include Fiji Baby, Buck It Up and Lucy.
Goodshirt disbanded in 2004. Rodney Fisher has since played with Breaks Co-Op and two other members are now in Auckland band Voom.
