Debbie Googe (born 1962, England)[1][2] is the bassist for the rock band My Bloody Valentine.
[edit] My Bloody Valentine
Before joining My Bloody Valentine, she lived in Yeovil, Somerset and played for a band called Bikini Mutants, who gigged with The Mob.[3] Googe had moved from Yeovil to London, and in early 1985, an ex-girlfriend of hers recommended her as a bass player to Kevin Shields and Colm Ó Cíosóig of My Bloody Valentine. She joined the band after an audition in April 1985. She left in the group in 1995, noting she "hadn't been happy for a long time".[3]
Googe is known for her raucous style of bass playing in MBV's live performances.
Googe joined My Bloody Valentine's 2007 reunion, and their tours in 2008 and 2009.
[edit] Work outside My Bloody Valentine
After leaving MBV in 1995, Googe briefly became a taxi driver. She formed Snowpony in 1996 with her then-girlfriend, Katharine Gifford, formerly of Stereolab.[3]
