Early in his musical career Goldberg gained recognition as the bassist of Bodega, a Toronto-based rock band that received a nomination for "best alternative album" at the Juno Awards with their 1998 album, Bring Yourself Up.[1] Prior to joining Broken Social Scene, Goldberg worked with BSS producer Dave Newfeld on Hawaii, a short-lived band whose 2003 self-titled debut received critical praise.[2]
