Daniel Goffey (born Daniel Robert Goffey on February 7, 1974) is the drummer
for popular English group Supergrass.

Goffey started his music career with his band the Fallopian Tubes at primary
school. At Wheatley Park School, Oxford he became drummer for the four-piece
The Jennifers which featured a sixteen year old Gaz Coombes on vocals. The
Jennifers began building a reputation in the Oxford indie music scene and
released one single in 1992 on Nude Records before they disbanded. Allegedly,
before the split, Goffey and Coombes had agreed to continue to work together
in the future.

In 1993 Coombes introduced Goffey to his co-worker Mick Quinn and they started
playing together. Shortly after Theodore Supergrass, later just Supergrass, were
formed. The band enjoyed great success with their up-beat and quirky songs,
particularly during the height of Britpop in the mid-1990s.

In 2005, Goffey became targeted by the tabloid newspapers due to a sex scandal
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.
The two had been in a relationship for ten years prior to the marriage.
