Goatboy was an eclectic rock band blending blues, hip-hop, drum n' bass and stoner rock. Formed in Swansea, South Wales in 1999 by Nik Jenkins, Rod Thomas and Ben Jones.
After a line-up change in 2000 they joined Swansea's Mighty Atom Records where they released their debut album Superlube in 2001. The new line-up saw the band introduce a turntablist Deck-Masha-Slicerman and a new bassist Andrew Baldwin.
Soon after the release of Superlube the band introduced a new bassist Neil Rowling and were commissioned to record a radio session for John Peel (which included a cover of a Kyuss song "100 Degrees"), as well as playing at the Glastonbury Festival 2002[1] and toured the UK with folk rockers The Levellers.
Their second (and last) release on Mighty Atom Records was the 7 track mini-album Dook of Oil E.P. that was produced and engineered by Greg Haver.[2]
The band split up in December 2003.
