the Warm Jets only lasted for two years, their short existence in New York had put them on the map, evidenced by the fact that during this time they played on the same bill as bands like The Ramones, Pussy Galore, Circle X, Live Skull and also with Jane’s Addiction on their 1989 Nothing’s Shocking tour. The band split up in 1989 when Tom Goss left to play with Jack Bruce (Cream). Dripping Goss 1991 - 1999 Two years after Tom Goss left, the brothers reunited to form the most successful band of their musical partnership, Dripping Goss. Goss described the band’s sound in an interview by saying: "I always thought of Dripping Goss as an acid rock band, always. That was the idea.

After the unexpected resignation of Tommy Goss at the tour's end, Dripping Goss had only two members left - Goss and Dan Souza. This led to Goss taking some time away from the band during which he became a member of Warzone. By the time Goss started the band
