Goldie Lookin' Chain

Cult legends of Welsh hip hop, Goldie Lookin Chain built their name on sharp satire, tongue-in-cheek lyricism and a refusal to play it straight. What started as a joke quickly became something bigger — chart success, major festival slots, and a loyal following that knows every word. Their live shows are loud, loose and full of personality. The band's success continued to grow, with appearances at a series of major UK and European festivals as well as a string of headline UK and European tours. They have released several albums, including the now legendary Greatest Hits album, which reached no 5 in the UK album chart and spawned four top forty hits. The GLC’s popularity continued to spread, yet outrage was sparked when, in 2006, after selling eighty thousand copies of Safe As Fuck, the major label bigwigs decided to drop the band. The band where not disheartened and put themselves into a self imposed exile whilst deciding which step to take next. During this time, self-sufficiency became the key and the GLC discovered the true meaning of the term ‘rugged individualism’. A communal house was rented in Newport, and the band went back to the drawing board, creating a new catalogue of musical delights. With the self Released ASBO 4 Life, GLC took it back from the now crumbling major Labels and continued to rock hard, followed up by the now legendary "Mixtape 2" and one of the uks most Christmassy Christmas albums "Its a Goldie Lookin Christmas (The Fairytale of Newport)" GLC continue to rock Live music venues and international Festivals the World over.
