Zoey van Goey are amongst a recent intake to the Chemikal Underground stable and were kind enough to provide us with a an already completed album, "The Cage Was Unlocked All Along". A cosmopolitan three piece featuring Kim Moore (England), Matt Brennan (Canada) and Michael John McCarthy (Ireland), Zoey van Goey deal in the currency of sun-dappled, bitter-sweet, apocalypse-baiting indiepop.

Named after an itinerant Amish girl, Zoey van der Kamp, who moved to New York at the age of 15, changed her name to Zoey van Goey, became immersed in the burgeoning street-art movememnt of the mid-Eighties, decamped to Berlin, earned considerable success with her street murals and art installations, shagged Wim Wenders and then disappeared from public life entirely.
