Watch Geese play ‘Taxes’ on impressive ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ debut
On-the-rise New York rock outfit Geese have wowed the Jimmy Kimmel Live crowd with their performance of their latest hit, ‘Taxes’.
In celebration of their widely acclaimed third album, Getting Killed, the band, consisting of Cameron Winter, Emily Green, Dominic DiGesu, and Max Bassin, took to Kimmel’s musical late-night slot for an impressive display. They performed their piano-heavy ironic ‘Taxes’ with gusto, with Winter singing the now-famous lines, “If you want me to pay my taxes, you’re going to have to nail me down”.
Frontman Cameron Winter has taken to the Jimmy Kimmel Live stage before in promotion of his 2024 solo album, Heavy Metal. Singing solo, the 23-year-old Winter sat at the piano to play his mournful ballad, ‘Drinking Age’.
They’ve even got the attention of Oppenheimer actor Cillian Murphy, who has declared them his new favourite band. In a new interview, when asked to reveal his current favourite musician, he shared, “I’ll say this band because my son went to see them last night. A band called Geese. He’s obsessed with them and has gotten me obsessed.”
Getting Killed was Far Out‘s ‘Album of the Week’, receiving a triumphant four-and-a-half-star review. Far Out observed, “An insecurity that’s usually been protected by slacker-rock humour seems to have fallen away on Getting Killed and Winter fully embraces the different flecks of his vocal timbre, not hiding its idiosyncrasies but instead embracing them.”
It continued: “The result of which is a heightened humanisation of the records, more tender takes, making it at times, a fitting voice for this obscure new age of indie. Somewhere between humorous, obscure and outright despondent, he, along with the rest of this band, has become a bastion of twisted hope on Getting Killed.”
The band are soon set to tour North America alongside Racing Mount Pleasant. They will begin in South Burlington and make their way to stops like Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Phoenix and Houston.
