Emerging in 2019, their debut EP ’33’ was met with positive reviews from punters and publications alike and their follow up release ‘Catharsis’ really began getting people’s attention.
Recently, Spacegoat were voted amongst the top bands in Melbourne for a chance to play at the acclaimed Good Things Festival.

A string of new releases is planned from February and the members of Spacegoat are excited to be releasing their best music yet.
