  Supergrass: Supergrass ---Ink Blot Magazine
While students at Wheatley Park Comprehensive in Oxford, guitarist/vocalist Danny Goffey and Gaz Coombes played together in the band, The Jennifers.
Soon after, Danny and Gaz met bassist Mickey Quinn and formed Theodore Supergrass.
Dropping the forename, Supergrass released their first single, the semi-autobiographical "Caught by the Fuzz" in the summer of 1994 on the indie label Backbeat; Parlophone signed the band and reissued the single in the fall of the year.

Daniel Goffey (born on February 7, 1974) is the drummer for popular Britpop group Supergrass.
In 2005, Goffey became targeted by the tabloid newspapers due to a sex scandel involving actor Jude Law when it emerged that Goffey and longtime girlfriend, Pearl Lowe had engaged in wife-swapping with Law and his wife, Sadie Frost.
Goffey married Pearl later that year (having proposed and been knocked back the year before) and now lives in London with Pearl and their three children.

Goffey holds no punches and is ready to deliver an honest opinion regardless of the question.
Although Goffey may be far from home at the present moment, when asked if he finds it difficult to separate fame and fortune from family, he admits that the two are now inseparable.
As for the band's impending tour of North America, Goffey is looking forward to a variety of different venue sizes, and says that he still considers Supergrass to be a small bar band, and not the mega-stadium rock quartet they have become.

 Supergrass - Psychology Central
The band consists of brothers Gaz Coombes (guitar and lead vocals) and Rob Coombes (keyboards), Danny Goffey (drums and vocals), and Mick Quinn (bass and vocals).
Gaz Coombes and Danny Goffey began building a reputation in the Oxford indie music scene in their teens, influenced by the Buzzcocks, the Jam, The Kinks, the Who, and including traits from the common pop-punk era, characterized with fast, three-chord, guitar-based, catchy tunes, as found in then-contemporaries blink-182 and Green Day.
Goffey had been targeted by the tabloid newspapers for a sex scandal involving actor Jude Law, and the Coombes brothers lost their mother.

Speaking to Supergrass drummer Danny Goffey, whose stage presence coincidentally resembles The Muppet Show's Animal, it appears that fame has always courted the band but serious commitments have yet to be made.
Despite having a pair of toddler sons, Goffey and his wife Pearl Lowe are quite the London socialites, far removed from the homey lifestyles of Supergrass singer Gaz Coombes and bassist Mickey Quinn.
Goffey's involvement in Lodger, a side project that recently fell apart when "the singer went a bit mental," was another sore point for Coombes and Quinn around the time of album #2 In It for the Money (1997).

Goffey apparently made a right nuisance of himself during a private record industry gig at the swanky Isis nightclub in London.
We hear Imbruglia's 15-minute acoustic set was received well by A-listers, but that didn't stop Goffey loudly and repeatedly heckling her.
Imbruglia reportedly looked right at Goffey at the end of the set and said,"It's nice to be supported," before storming off the stage.

Gaz and Danny were in a band called 'The Jennifers', who released 'Just Got Back Today' as a single in 1992.
Danny also claims to have been in a band called 'The Fallopian Tubes' who did a song called 'My Wife Shut My Gonads In the Door'.

however, whilst working at a Harvester he befriended new co-worker Gaz Coombes who, along with friend Danny Goffey, had recently left a reletively successful local band "The Jennifers".
Despite a seven year age gap, Coobes and Quinn had attended the same school (Wheatley Park) and two realised they had a common intereset in music.
In February 1993 Quinn officially joined the band on bass, while Goffey continued on drums and Coombes took both vocals and guitar, thus forming Theodore Supergrass.

He's kidding, of course; the Oxford, England-based band (Goffey, singer/guitarist Gaz Coombes and bassist Mickey Quinn) is known as much for its goofball sense of humor as for its catchy, propulsive rock.
Goffey and Coombes started playing together in a band called the Jennifers, which released a single in 1990, when Coombes was only 14.
Goffey is quick with a self-deprecating joke and seems to be beyond the point at which press accolades really matter.

 Supergrass   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Supergrass are an indie rock Britpop band from Oxford, England who were at their peak in the britpop era of the mid-1990s.
Some feel In It For The Money was overlooked slightly as the Britpop scene in general was in something of a shambles in 1998 and the charts were dominated by then faultering giant, Oasis, Radiohead who released the groundbreaking Ok Computer and The Verve who, up until this point had been relative unknowns.
However, perhaps most bizzarely Goffey became targeted by the tabloid newspapers due to a sex scandel involving actor Jude Law when it emerged that Goffey and then-girlfriend, Pearl Lowe - Law's nanny - had engaged in wife-swapping with Law and his wife, Sadie Frost.

Gaz's amp was covered with a blanket, and probably most notable was Danny Goffey's pared-down drum kit that included a suitcase used as a kick drum, which only added to the lamplight charm onstage.
Then, as Danny and Talvin also joined in, Mick handed back the Burns to Gaz and picked up his bass for a sexy and searing Zeppelin-esque groove that sang out of both guitars.
Danny's drumming pushed the band, as it always does.

Recorded languorously at a chateau in the south of France, amidst much wine drinking, Goffey explains that looseness was a part of the plan.

DANNY Goffey, drummer with urchin UK fuzz and pogo merchants, Supergrass is quietly nursing a hangover after a night on London's Camden Town, downing glasses of red wine, and generally living up to his reputation as a loutish lads.
His two month old son Alfie, is cradled in the nook of one arm, while the other hand tries desperately to navigate the bottle into his sons' mouth.
For Goffey though, the mere though of touring and notching up a few more miles - as Supergrass will do, when they hit Australia shores to join the Big Day Out carnival (alongside Soundgarden, Sepultura, The Prodigy, Offspring, Shonen Knife) - is likely to be greeted with a quizzical knot of the eyebrows.

The group's genesis can be traced to the academic environs of Oxford, where, four years ago, Coombes (then just 15) convinced Goffey that they should form a duo.
Goffey, meanwhile, nicked a few drum licks from Keith Moon.

Singer/guitarist Gareth (Gaz) Coombes and drummer Danny Goffey had been teenage members of the Jennifers, a quartet whose only release, a four-track EP, is a mildly entertaining bit of energetic jangledelia.
To the chagrin of no one, that band packed it in, and two years later, Gaz and Danny resurfaced with bassist Mickey Quinn as Supergrass.
The band — whose moniker is British slang for a police informer — first hit with the amphetamine bubblegum 7-inch "Caught by the Fuzz," which chronicles a lad's first pot bust and deals with that situation's primary crisis: that is, Mom's gonna be pissed.
