In late 2008, the five members of Goliathon began jamming and playing occasional gigs. In 2009, Goliathon recorded demos, shot their first music video “High Noon,” and began playing reputable clubs in Indianapolis, such as The Melody Inn and the late Vollrath Tavern.
The 2010 release of the Goliathon’s debut album, Without Further Ado, earned the group local and national radio airplay, online reviews, and a growing following in the Indianapolis music scene via word of mouth. Goliathon’s strong live act attracted a wide-variety of fans and supporters who cite the group’s musical versatility and originality as refreshing and engaging.
2011 featured Goliathon’s first out of state “jaunt,” which consisted of 7 shows in 10 days along the east coast. The year also saw an increase of local opportunites at venues such as The Vogue Theatre and Radio Radio, including an opening slot for The Sword at The Vogue on July 21st. A live video of ”Riot in Cairo,” shot at Radio Radio and produced by Monkey Eats Monkey, gained global exposure, receiving over 1000 uniques plays in its first week and viewers from over 50 countries.
In spring 2012, Goliathon visited a handful of local studios before deciding to team up with local producer/musician Ryan Koch to record their sophomore album, Pretend It’s Not Happening. Another partnership soon arose with artist Bryan Moore. Bryan created the album’s artwork and has been directing band photoshoots since. Goliathon released Pretend It’s Not Happening on August 31st and will finish out the year playing shows and working on new material.
