Real name: Andrew Scott Rosen

Effective period / Period of releases: 1998 - 2006

From the New York underground music scene, "Goat" is the nickname of the charismatic performer Andy Scott Rosen. In the late 1990s, he had generated a rabid following among urbanites with a modern funk-powered rock sound. His 1996-1997 major-label single "Great Life" took on a life of its own, appearing in the films Supercop and I Know What You Did Last Summer, and later in a national television commercial for a major automobile maker.
(This single has also been credited under a previous nickname "Goatboy", but the "boy" part was dropped to avoid confusion with a 1997 Saturday Night Live character played by Jim Breuer, that Andy had nothing in common with. The previous nickname is also not an alias to be confused with the 2002-2003 group Goatboy).
