Since their inception Gorch Fock has continued to drop jaws in the live setting. Whether it's performing on a custom made 30ft Ship stage or just blowing the doors off of the venue, audiences continue to walk away from their shows blotto on rock. The duel drummers thrashing like so many trailer homes in a tornado and the power of the septet as a whole are something to be experienced live. Recorded they are thunder that doesn't yield any of it's subtlety.

They've shared the stage with the likes of No Means No, Alice Donut, Helios Creed, Fantomas, Black Dice, Ariel Pink, Parts & Labor, Animal Collective, Stinking Lizaveta, Form of Rocket, Heroin Sheiks, Bleach03 (2 tours), Country Teasers, Areola 51, Attack Formation & Total Sound Group Direct Action Committee.
