About

Singer, songwriter, and musician Wally De Backer, a.k.a. Gotye, first appeared upon the Australian music scene in 2006 with his self-recorded album Like Drawing Blood – an effort that yielded his first local hit, “Hearts a Mess,” and won an AIR (Australian Independent Record) award. He also found success as part of the Australian trio The Basics. In 2011, however, Gotye would catapult to fame with the undeniably infectious song “Somebody That I Used to Know” (featuring New Zealand singer Kimbra) -- the video of which spread across the web like wildfire. Music fans worldwide took notice and, almost entirely on the merit of this one breakthrough hit, bought tickets and filled venues to see Gotye perform LIVE. A gifted drummer and percussionist as well as a vocalist with impressive range, Gotye’s often times understated but always innovative music -- a mix of quirky electronic sounds and acoustic rhythms -- evokes a mood both retro and modern. Songs like “Eyes Wide Open,” Easy Way Out,” and “State of the Art” take on new dimension during his concerts which feature De Backer on drums and various other instruments, and which utilize projected images that echo the striking visual artistry of Gotye’s music videos. Although his voice has often been compared to Peter Gabriel and Sting, his music is more inspired by Godley & Crème and DJ Shadow.

    Gotye is even better in a concert

    by ns2236 on 10/6/12Ryman Auditorium - Nashville

    Great concert and a surprisingly amazing performance by an artist who's youtube videos are so mild. My wife and I had a great time listening to the unique and original sound of Gotye.

    Will be a great show when he has more material!

    by DrD39 on 10/6/12Ryman Auditorium - Nashville

    I bought my tickets based on others reviews, and while I would agree he is very talented and puts on a great show, he does not have enough great material for more than 35 to 40 minutes. I really enjoyed the first few songs, none of which I had heard before and then he started on a few fillers. The couple in front of me actually fell asleep. When he finally got to "somebody that I used to know" I was ready for bed! Great artist, but too green without enough great material to carry his own show. Glad I went but will wait for a few more albums before I go again.

    Best concert I've seen in Tuscaloosa

    by CookingNstilettos on 10/6/12Tuscaloosa Amphitheater - Tuscaloosa

    Jonti was energetic and innovative. Missy Higgins was soulful and incredible. Gotye, however, was experimental, intellectual, and the most musically intriguing performer I've ever seen! While most people came for his top 20 hit Somebody That I Used to Know, they left wanting every album he ever made. Well done, and thanks!

    Missy Higgins/Gotye Concert

    by HiggsFan on 10/4/12Red Hat Amphitheater (formerly Raleigh Amphitheater) - Raleigh

    The Red Hat Amphitheater was an awesome venue! Missy Higgins is one of my favorite artists and she was amazing. Gotye was really good as well and I enjoyed the entire concert very much. Will definitely keep an eye out for upcoming events at this venue.

    There's No One Like Gotye!

    by DiningSolo on 10/4/12Red Rocks Amphitheatre - Morrison

    Loved this concert! So exciting and innovative! And Gotye, or Wally De Backer, was so much more personable and animated than he has been during interviews on television. His band is as fabulous as he is so seeing that play between them was so much fun. Gotye is a very talented drummer and that was highlighted in his live show. I LOVE drummers! Also, there is nothing better than watching an artist play Red Rocks for the first time with that incredible sense of awe that it brings out in them. We are soooo lucky to have that venue so close by. If he ever comes back into town, I'll be there!

    Missy and Gotye!!!!

    by GingerClimber on 10/4/12Red Hat Amphitheater (formerly Raleigh Amphitheater) - Raleigh

    First off Jonti was pretty good, if a bit dorky but his music was sweet. Then came Missy Higgins, my main reason for being there as I have been a fan since she debuted in 2004 when I was living in Australia! I saw her in 2004 in Sydney and she is even better now. Such a beautiful voice and great lyrics and melodies to her music...the new stuff is just as good as the last two albums. After her came Gotye (got missy to sign my ticket in between shows, yay!) and I have to say I was surprised. Only knew his one popular song and it isn't even his best one! Bought his album on iTunes while he was still playing :) Overall a great night with a friend of mine and awesome music!

    The Best Night of my Life.

    by ChristyPeterson on 10/4/12Red Hat Amphitheater (formerly Raleigh Amphitheater) - Raleigh

    The concert was wonderful. Not because of the seats or anything, but because I finally got to see Gotye live. Personally, I wasn't a big fan of my seats but they were better than nothing. There were a lot of empty seats that said they were full on this website, and I am kicking myself in the butt for not moving closer to the stage. But I am an honest person, so I didn't. The speakers were amazing and worked well, the screen played crisp visuals on the background. In all it was a lovely experience for me, even though I didn't like my seat so much. I also wish this website sold the meet and greet passes, because I did not know where to get them from. So unfortunately I did not get to meet him.

    Gotye is such an amazing performer!!

    by Dashlove on 10/4/12Red Hat Amphitheater (formerly Raleigh Amphitheater) - Raleigh

    I've been listening to Gotye for a while now and I can finally say that I've seen him live. Man is he good. He sounds just as good as he does on his records, if not better! Also, his infamous artwork/animations, shown in many of his music videos, played on a huge projector behind him the entire show. Bottom line, go see Gotye! All of his music is so artistic and unlike any other.

    Gotye was incredible!!!!!!!!

    by Zozie1 on 10/3/12Red Hat Amphitheater (formerly Raleigh Amphitheater) - Raleigh

    Missy Higgins did a beautiful job and I really enjoyed her performance. Gotye had so much energy and enthusiasm. Wally and the band had great chemistry. The entire show was just mesmerizing. The music was even better live than on the album. Wally truly shined. His voice was so strong and he played almost every instrument under the sun. It was simply a remarkable evening. I want to go back and experience it again and again.

    Loved Gotye despite the chance of rain!

    by Rebstar on 10/3/12Red Hat Amphitheater (formerly Raleigh Amphitheater) - Raleigh

    Missy Higgins who opened for Gotye made a fan out of me! Gotye put on an excellent show. He didn't stand still for a moment - playing drums and all sorts of percussion. He has an amazing voice and his music lures you in to another world - his. I give the musicians 5 stars but the venue was lacking. There isn't much elevation from the front to the back of the seating which means many people are standing and walking by in your view of sight. Also, there isn't any coverage for when it rains! I would have loved to see both artists in a more intimate venue but they are too big for that now.

    Absolutely the best show!!!

    by Sciencenerdgirl on 10/3/12Red Hat Amphitheater (formerly Raleigh Amphitheater) - Raleigh

    Gotye, Missy Higgins and Jonti were incredible! You can expect this to be the highest quality event you will see in a long time!!! Very cerebral and lyrically meaningful music played with the highest care for sound quality, technique and showmanship...these artists will have a long and prosperous global career.
