When Richie, Victor and Frank first got together in a basement in May of 2000 and formed Goin' Places there was no way they could have known that they would still be at it nearly a quarter of a century later....but here we are.
Self promotion is a must in these bios, so let's get that out of the way up front. Yes, Goin' Places have been fortunate to work with producers like Mass Giorgini and Daniel Rey. They've shared the stage with bands like the Misfits, Teen Idols, Huntingtons and even C.J. Ramone. They even got to record with Joe Queer of The Queers. But what really matters is the music.
Their debut album, Girl Songwriting 101, was the band's first chance to be heard outside of the NYC pop punk scene and helped expose them to a national and international audience. The follow up Relationship Sneakers expanded on the band's sound, but still maintained the melodies and harmonies they had been known for.
The band's third album, Save The World was their most ambitious to date, creating a blend of their pop punk influences with the sounds of early rock n roll.
Fingerboard Road, their most recent, arrived in 2022 and is made up of 18 Beatles covers.
Having previous releases with labels like Mutant Pop, Coldfront, Waterslide and others, Goin' Places is currently working with Mom's Basement Records and Memorable But Not Honorable on their new releases as well as reissues of out of print material.
