In December 2023, Ben Atkind officially announced his separation from Goose. The band followed up, offering their own statement and later enlisting a new backbeat, Cotter Ellis. In a live music move, Atkin has shared his intent to perform at New York’s Brooklyn Bowl on Thursday, March 21, alongside ElephantProof.
Atkind is an original member of Boston’s Berklee College of Music formed quintet, ElephantProof. Before his start in Goose, the drummer was gigging alongside the jazz-informed unit, which started in 2012 and eventually went their separate ways in 2014.
Notably, in 2021, Atkind, Sean Cronin, Chris Enright, and Shon Gordon came together in the studio to cut the 7-track collection EP EP. In continuation of their collective experience, ElephantProof’s March dates function as the band’s initial 2024 appearance and Atkind’s first with this unit of musicians after leaving Goose.
Apart from ElephantProof’s involvement in the Brooklyn Bowl gig, the March 21 bill extends to include stage time from TalkPeck SoundSystem, featuring Matt McNulty, Sammi Garett (Cool Cool Cool), Tim Palmieri (Lotus), Mike Greenfield (Lotus), Miles Livolsi (Residual Groove), Kiran Edwards (Residual Groove) and Garret Conroy (Residual Groove) and more.
