Biography

Still Goin' Places after all these years.

The band began in Victor's basement in May 2000, when Richie, Frank, and Victor stumbled into a project that lasted far longer than anyone expected.

Goin' Places is:

Richie — Vocals, Guitar
Frank — Bass
Victor — Vocals, Drums

25 years of Goin' Places.

Like countless bands, it all started in a basement. In May of 2000 Richie and Frank were hanging out in Victor's basement and the 3 of them accidentally formed a band.

Their debut album Girl Songwriting 101 put them on the map. Future albums like Relationship Sneakers and Save The World saw the band spreading their brand of harmony laden pop-punk to fans around the world. Never ones to follow the punk rock rule book, they even released an album of Beatles covers called Fingerboard Road.

Having worked with the likes of Mass Giorgini, Daniel Rey and Joe Queer, Goin' Places show no signs of stayin' put. As the band passes the quarter century mark they are celebrating with a new album called Imperfect. It's available now on LP, CD and digital from Mom's Basement Records.

25 years later and still Goin' Places.
