Geese have performed a cover of New Radicals‘ ‘You Only Get What You Give’ for BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge series – watch it below.
Last night (November 4), BBC Radio 1 shared Geese’s Live Lounge set, which saw them performed three songs: ‘100 Horses’, ‘Cobra’ and a unique cover of ‘You Get What You Give’.
Their one-of-a-kind rework of the New Radicals classic sees them trade the upbeat track’s lively sound for a solemn and jam band-esque experimental take that slowly builds to its cathartic and euphoric chorus.
Watch Geese cover New Radicals’ ‘You Only Get What You Give’ starting at the 6:53 mark below.
The band have had a string of standout covers, recently covering The Velvet Underground and The Stooges at a San Diego gig. Other beloved covers they’ve played in the past include ‘This Must Be The Place’ by Talking Heads, and ‘Escape (The Pina Colada Song)’ by Rupert Holmes.
The former NME Cover stars recently announced a UK headline tour for 2026, which will kick off in Bristol’s Electric on March 20 and make stops in Glasgow, Leeds and Manchester, before rounding out at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town on March 26. They will also play at Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom on August 26 and at London’s Troxy on September 1. Find any remaining tickets for the shows here.
Following their run of spring dates in the UK, the group will make appearances at Coachella 2026 and next year’s edition of Primavera Sound Barcelona.
In a glowing five-star review of their latest album ‘Getting Killed’, NME wrote: “There’s so much going on in this album that it feels like it would have been easy for the five-piece to lose sight of the bigger picture, yet for all its abrupt shifts and intricate details, ‘Getting Killed’ somehow doesn’t ever feel like there’s too much at play or like its creators aren’t in complete control.
“Instead, this is a band living up to their reputation as exhilaratingly free-spirited, not so much proving they deserve all the accolades and fervent fanaticism bubbling around them but demanding it.”
Geese’s previous album, ‘3D Country’, appeared on NME‘s 50 best albums of 2023 list, where it was hailed for capturing “a sound far more expansive than most bands at this stage of their career”.
