<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Winter’s voice sounds like he’s making a pact with the devil\u2014morphing between a dissonant growl and an angelic falsetto\u2014 and he carries himself with just enough slacker indifference to make the whole thing feel dangerous in a good way. I’ve had Getting Killed<\/em> on repeat basically all year, so I knew the goose was going to be loose live, but nothing prepared me for what they do to “Cobra” or “Half Real” onstage \u2014 the songs get pulled apart, vocals and instruments going feral, until nothing’s recognizable anymore, right up until Winter waves the band to hit the all-knowing crescendo. At one point, he just plays Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” off his phone, mid-set, no explanation, before slamming into the bridge of “2122” off 3D Country<\/em>. \u2014 just the madness of rock’n’roll. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n “I thought we had five minutes left, turns out we’ve got twenty,” Winter laughs, before easing into “Au Pays du Cocaine” and that bright, arresting little guitar riff. Someone in the crowd screams “PLAY TAXES,” and Winter, obliging as ever, lets the band tear into their little opus on human malaise. They close with “Trinidad,” Winter ad-libbing some nonsense from his ever-expanding personal lexicon before screaming “there’s a bomb in my car” over and over, like some pendulum that’s lost its mind and can’t stop swinging. Psyops or not \u2014 Geese has got the stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Photos by Benoit Rousseau <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Psyops or not, I plant myself on those Roman Colosseum steps at the Forest stage to watch Geese do whatever it is Geese does to people.
