Origins:
Win wrote most of the first set in one night. Clearly he had been spiritually abducted by the angels
of the Church of Rock and transmitted the works during this absence of body.
He was taken to the floating church, Gorch Fock, which bobs in the massive crests of the Ocean of Melody
There he heard the sway of earth and the winds of Time.
He recruited the band as a way to harness the music's raw form.
Refined and terrestrial, the music has made it out.
History since then-
Since their inception Gorch Fock has continued to drop jaws in the live setting. Whether it's performing on a custom made 30ft Ship stage or just blowing the doors off of the venue audiences continue to walk away from their shows blotto on rock. The duel drummers thrashing like so many trailer homes in a tornado and the power of the septet as a whole are something to be experienced live. Recorded they create sonic thunder that doesn't yield any of it's subtlety.
They've shared the stage with the likes of No Means No, Alice Donut, Helios Creed, Fantomas, Black Dice, Ariel Pink, Parts & Labor, Animal Collective, Stinking Lizaveta, Form of Rocket, Heroin Sheiks, Bleach03 (2 tours), Country Teasers, Areola 51, Attack Formation & Total Sound Group Direct Action Committee.
They've played 4 showcases at SXSW and will play their first appearance at CMJ this september.
They will also be completing 3 more tours this year covering most of the country including dates w/ Mono, Bellini & Stinking Lizaveta
