GANS

GANS are a two piece piece from the Black Country in the West Midlands. Thomas Rhodes and Euan Woodman met whilst at college through a joint love of music, books and art. In 2023 GANS was born. With a melting pot of influences behind them from big band Jazz, country to techno, the first five self released singles on their own label HOT DAWG records gained social media, playlist and press interest. Late 2024, after catching them at a DIY show in Cow Vintage store, Digbeth - Strap Originals (owned by Peter Doherty from The Libertines/Babyshambles) signed the band. The debut album 'GOOD FOR THE SOUL' was released on 19th of September 2025, produced and recorded by Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys, Working Mens Club, The Fall, Amyl and the Sniffers) in Sheffield, UK earlier that year. Playing over 150 shows in the same year, supporting The Libertines, Big Special, Hamish Hawk, Pop Will Eat Itself, Babyshambles and several UK/EU festivals. GANS built a reputation as a band you must see live. GANS live doesn't stop in 2026, hitting the road supporting Pixies, The Vaccines, Big Special, two headline tours and festivals all summer long all by September. Also adding touring musician to the live set up in the form of Tommy 'shlugs' Lawther, bringing the jazz through his saxophone and flute. 2026 continues to be the biggest year so far for the black country duo.
