Goose tapped into the Hollywood talent pool on Tuesday during a charity show at L.A.’s The Troubadour for a surprise guest appearance by beloved comedic actor Will Forte on a first-time-played cover of Black Sabbath classic “War Pigs”.
Forte took the stage toward the end of the night’s first set and howled the song’s famed Ozzy Osbourne lead vocals as the crowd shouted along. Following the extended take, which featured guitar solos from both Rick Mitarotonda and Peter Anspach, Forte expressed his gratitude to the band for the invitation. “Thank you, Goose, for letting me be up here,” he said. “They learned this song today.”

The charity underplay at The Troubadour, which followed the band’s recent run of West Coast amphitheater gigs, was billed as Goose: El Ganso Live at The Troubadour, raised money for La Playa Centro Comunitario in San José del Cabo, Mexico. La Playa Centro Comunitario opened its doors in 2015 with the vision of creating a unique space where children in the community could explore and engage with art in all its forms. As their community’s needs continued to grow, the organization expanded its programs and diversified its activities to better serve and nurture the environment. The band is also hosting a silent auction to benefit the cause. Browse the available auction items here. Bidding ends on Thursday, October 3rd at noon PT.
In other Goose/San José del Cabo news, the band on Tuesday shared a video announcing a new festival, Viva el Gonzo, set to take place in the beach town on the southern tip of Baja California from May 8th–10th, 2024.

Goose is due to appear next at Mempho Music Festival in Memphis, TN on October 4th. From there, the band will take a few weeks off the road before resuming touring operations for an October 24th show at Nashville, TN’s Ascend Amphitheater. While the two ensuing Asheville, NC shows originally set for October 25th and 26th have been canceled as the Western North Carolina city attends to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene and its subsequent flooding, the tour will resume on October 29th and 30th in Miami Beach, FL and continue through mid-November.
