If you're gonna make a thread about it, could you please include a little information about them?

You wouldn't think that needed telling, but I'm getting tired of all these band threads made by people who make no effort at all to explain who they are or why we should get to know them.

Sorry about that, will do in the future.

Goldfish is a Nu jazz electronic band from Cape Town South Africa made up of David Poole and Dominic Peters, both are successful Jazz musicians, who are using Samplers, a Groove box, Keyboards, funky upright Bass and Saxophones, to obtain that unique Goldfish sound. They have opened for many international electronica acts, including Basement Jaxx, Fatboy Slim, Mr Scruff, Audio Bullys, Paul van Dyk, Pete Tong and Stereo MC's. In 2009, they set a new South African Music Awards record for most nominations, with 8 nominations including Best Duo or Group and Album of the Year.

Their Discography Includes.
Caught in the Loop (2006)
Perceptions of Pacha (2008)

Songs I recommend are...
"Soundtracks and Come Backs" - 5:21
"The Real Deal" - 4:49
"All Night" - 3:45
"Eqyptology" - 4:48
"This Is How It Goes" - 7:05
"Fort Knox" - 3:18
"Cruising Through" - 4:17
