    About

    We don't spend much time here. If you want to contact us, come over to www.thegoodship.com.au or www.facebook.com/thegoodship. Salty, scruffy and a little salacious, The Good Ship are a very bad ship. Their folk-country-pop-rock sounds draw comparisons with the likes of Nick Cave, The Decemberists and The Pogues, and the carousing and chaotic eight piece line up features mandola, banjo, lagerphone, guitar, trumpet, accordion and drums, as well as a not so heavenly host of voices. Their 2010 and 2012 albums “Avast! Wretched Sea” and "O' Exquisite Corpse", as well as their rousing live shows, have seen the band snag a legion of dedicated fans, play to packed houses around the country and perform at major festivals including Woodford and Brisbane Festival.
