Who are the Goats?


Oatie Kato

The Founder & Producer of the Goats had a vision. Political. Live. Rocking and hard core. His only solo song with the Goats is Aaah Dee Yaaaa a pro-choice super-feminist opus that reached the top of the charts in great Britain. He is currently the frontman for Jimmy Luxury


Madd

Outrageous and often naked frontman, sublime lyricist Madd was the glue and personality wizard of the Goats. He also came up with their most famous chorus (Typical American). He is now the frontman of Philly’s BAND OF THE YEAR 2009. It is called BLACK LANDLORD. Sweet.

Sway

Known as Shupe, Sway, Swayzack, etc. His lyrics burn the microphone.

Welcome to Goats


Who the hell are they?

If you are on this page, you probably already know. But the Goats were overty political and far and away first live hip hop band. Their shows were sweaty. Their politics not typical.


First Live-Hip Hop Ever

Shows sometimes involved 13 members. 2 bassists. 2 drummers. Singers. Madd rappers etc. Even as they traveled through Europe they always took more people and less money. It was a traveling family.

One of the best of the Old School

Picked by many as one of the best hip hop bands all time.


Philadelphia

Some of the Roots very first shows were with the goats. The live combination was the first ever. 1991, 1992, 1993
