Goodshirt are still hanging out in the garden shed. "Absolutely, it's where it was all produced and engineered and stuff," says front man Rodney Fisher, referring to the band's second album, 'Fiji Baby'. It's the very same garden shed - the one he's sitting outside today - where their 2001 debut album 'Good' was recorded and produced.
"We've got better at recording things," he grins, and goes onto to praise Murray Fisher, his younger brother, fellow band member, and the album's producer and engineer. "Murray has come on in leaps and bounds. I just guess he's got a really good ear and really good taste that's compatible with what we do. It's a difficult job because we've all got different tastes. It's a very difficult job, there are lots of fights, heartache, but you get there. The last album was like that too," says Fisher flippantly.
Sophie debuted in the Official New Zealand Top 40 Singles on 31 March 2002. It has been in the Top 40 Singles for 19 weeks with a highest position of #1. There are four songs by Goodshirt in the Top 40 Singles with one reaching Number One.
