Born to British parents, grew up in Mexico City and learned to speak fairly fluent Spanish, then moved to New York. Not too interesting, but more than most imo

Was a member of Love.

Then met and moved in with Kenneth Anger and did a soundtrack for Lucifer Rising (1972). After a major fight he moved out and Anger cursed him, turning him into a toad. Metaphorically speaking the curse came true.

Then broke down in front of the Charles Manson commune, was lured in by the pretty women and murdered a man on Manson's orders.

Whilst in prison he formed a band out of other convicts and did more music for Anger's film.

>Gocher used to carry around an ant colony in his pants pocket in the form of a salt shaker filled with dirt, sugar, and a large collection of red ants burrowing within. He once brought a lawnmower to a SCG show and during the set, fired it up and ran it over several large trash bags filled with confetti. Afterwards, the confetti was stomped into the beer-soaked concrete floor and it took the manager the entire next day to remove it all with a scraper
>And there was the John Coltrane "Live in Seattle" SCG show that Gocher organized, researched, and presented. He also promoted the show with flyers advertising that SCG would play John Coltrane's "Live in Seattle Record" in the exact same location that Coltrane's group had performed 30 years prior. It was the only SCG show that he had ever truly put together from start to finish. He discovered that the exact venue where Coltrane's group had performed in Seattle in the 1960's had become an Indian restaurant in Pioneer square. He convinced the owner to allow him to setup the equipment there in the restaurant for the show. When enough people had arrived that night wondering how SCG would be "playing" John Coltrane's "Live in Seattle" show, Gocher cracked a smile, got up from his seat and dramatically walked over to a hidden turntable and gently placed the needle on the actual Coltrane LP, then sat back down to finish his drink.
