Listen to charismatic front man and Goudie namesake Johnny Goudie on the band's tantalizing opener, "Baby Hello," and you can almost envision him slithering over their trademark blast of scorching guitars. Two more songs into Goudie's astonishing debut effort, 'Peep Show', and you realize another curtain just may be lifting on rock's ever-changing landscape. But being compared to past and present icons like The New York Dolls and Radiohead doesn't phase the Texas group. The wiry foursome would like it to be known, however, that even though the Austin Chronicle has already crowned them "the band to watch in the year 2000," they are much more interested in the kind of spontaneous glimpses they offer up on 'Peep Show'.

A native of Austin TX, Suzanna Choffel combines her poetic lyrics and sweet smoky voice with funky urban rhythms to create a fresh and unique sound. In March 2009, Suzanna won the "Best Indie Band" prize at the Austin Music Awards-SXSW 2009, and in April 2009 she won 2nd Place in the "AAA" category of the prestigious International Songwriting Competition. She uses her guitar to create staccato rhythms underneath her dazzling soulful vocal melodies, all backed by a pulsing band with unique instrumentation. Her music has been described as “indie pop with urban beats”, and "jazz-infused soul pop" with comparisons ranging from Feist to Nelly Furtado to Norah Jones to KT Tunstall.
