Picture this: it's 4 o'clock in the morning and you're driving home in a rented van after a three-hour show in front of eight people...in Claremont, New Hampshire. You'd probably be ready to kill yourself, too. In 1997 Betty Goo was one of many frustrated bands laboring away in their corner of a local rock scene. As bands around them folded, they wondered what it would be like to present their own demise as a well-prepared and fully embraced event. Thus was 'gooicide' born. The tone of the album design was based around the supposed death of a rock band, and a couple of songs on the CD muse upon the eventuality of 'packing it in.' Over the course of a few months Betty Goo became obsessed with its own demise. Strangely enough, this morbid fascination with self-destruction lent a whole new life and enthusiasm to the creation of the album and to its subsequent release. Listen for yourself, and you'll find that you haven't lived until you've died. Betty Goo's supposed final show was on July 31, 1999.
