A week in the life of Goldfish


Electro-jazz sensation Goldfish are set to share the stage with international bands Maroon 5 and OneRepublic this month. The Cape Town-based duo, David Poole and Dominic Peters, tell YOU about their busy lives.

MONDAY
We return from shows in Moscow and Amsterdam. The Dutch crowd blew us away, singing along to our songs and making all the other DJs jealous! Moscow was amazing, cruising around Red Square, checking out the Kremlin.

TUESDAY
Time to relax with friends and family. Dave and I sneak off for a surfing session at Long Beach in Kommetjie. Cape Town rocks!

WEDNESDAY
It’s up early for an interview about our MTV Africa award nomination. We’re really proud to have been nominated in the best alternative category. The competition is fierce: Coldplay, Seether and The Parlotones are up for the same award.

THURSDAY
We head for Port Elizabeth to support some of the finalists in the Road to V competition for a slot at the V-Fest.

FRIDAY
Back to Cape Town to meet with our manager. We’re planning a regular Sunday gig at Clifton beach this summer and there are all sorts of things to be done beforehand.

SATURDAY
We’re off to Durban to play a great gig with 5FM’s Roger Goode to celebrate the launch of his new album. We have a huge crowd and our set is being broadcast live on 5FM.

SUNDAY
Off to Jozi to perform at Emmarentia Dam. We have an amazing gig. We catch a 9 pm flight back to Cape Town and by midnight are asleep in our own beds. Just another week in the life of the Fishies.
