GoGo Penguin, the Manchester trio who inspirationally blend jazz, classical and electronic influences, return with a powerful new album, Necessary Fictions, June 20, XXIM Records, which finds pianist, Chris Illingworth; bassist, Nick Blacka; and drummer, Jon Scott digging deep internally to reach “what we think are our integral, authentic qualities at this moment in time”. It’s a powerful driver for some of their boldest music to date, incorporating modular synths, Moog Grandmother, and electric bass into their sound more than ever before as they glide spectacularly from acoustic instrumentation into electronica with drums to the fore. Honest and powerful, Necessary Fictions is the band at their very best.

Gogo Penguin wouldn't be a thing without the tight, precise and engaged co-playing of Chris, Nick and Jon. They produce such a cohesive wall of music, absolutely captivating. Seeing them perform live, doing it without loosing their cool is quite daunting. L'Auditori is also a fantastic venue, with a world class acoustic...
L'Auditori Barcelona, SpainPurely incredible; thank you. Consummate musicians, performers and songwriters. That version of Break nearly melted me. Handled an unfortunate, technical disruption like champs; just like everything's-going-to-be-okay and then it was—very ok. (Did they give you the pedals? They should probably send you the pedals.) Please, come back any time!
The Opera House Toronto, ONI‘ m just in the middle of watching the stream. Ultracool jazz sounds and GGP are great. Watched last year „stream only“ concert, but this is even better. Look forward to seeing them live live, I think there’s a concert here in Berlin in spring
Barbican Centre London, United KingdomAnother outstanding performance by the superb trio. It was evident by the difference in numbers of the audience from the last time I saw them 2 years ago that their popularity has increased enormously. The venue was great too with friendly staff.
Barras Art and Design Glasgow, United KingdomThis was a mind blowing concert. They played with total conviction and passion. Met the guys aftereards, who were completely down to earth, signed my cd and gained a couple of new fans in my kids. Thanks for a great concert!
