Edit history

Go Go Fish were an indie pop band from Brisbane that formed in 2010 and played their final show in March 2015. Singer/guitarist Scott Mercer (then playing guitar for The Better Mousetrap Treatment) started the band with childhood friend William Hickey on keyboards. Drummer Ash Shanahan was recruited from the classifieds section of Rave Magazine. The band were initially known as "Scott Mercer and the Cobweb Gallery" (ugh, yeah) but then this was a time before all band names were required by law to be single word plurals. Scott's songs initially took influence from such disparate sources as Something For Kate, Split Enz and Neil Young. The music was a bit confused. Like many bands, they took a few years and lineup changes to find their sound. The Cobweb Gallery played many low-stakes gigs around town, often at The Music Kafe in West End, where Scott had first cut his teeth playing solo at open mic nights. There they could be guaranteed a drink, a hot meal and thirty crisp dollars for
