Gogh Van Go was a Montreal Folk-Pop duo formed by partners Dan Tierney and Sandra Luciantonio. Previously, Tierney and Luciantonio were both members of an 1980's country-rock group called the Hodads.[1]

Sandra Luciantonio and Dan Tierney met at the University of Guelph in Canada and formed a band in Montreal in 1985. Taking their name from the cover of an art magazine[2], the duo formed Gogh Van Go in 1993 and signed with Audiogram Records. Their self-titled 1993 debut was part of the label's push into the English-speaking Canadian market.[3] The band released their second album, "Bliss Station", in 1997.[4]
