“a laid-back, psych-rock delight” • Q magazine
“all kinds of surfy brilliance” • The Fly (****)
“a Californian rock group that mix garage, surf rock and psychedelic influences together to form an enticing brew that will get pulses quickening.” • Artrocker
After receiving rave reviews from their sold out 6 weeks up front residency at The Shacklewell Arms show including The Fly
(“even from our sweaty vantage point at the back, it’s impossible not to get washed along on the wave of hysteria that greets The Growlers tonight.” – http://alturl.com/i33cj
and Clash (“The crowd is loving it. The room, packed to the brim, is swaying, jumping and wooping like it’s a high school prom.” http://alturl.com/mjgn7), The Growlers have announced a full UK headline tour including the Scala in London.
For the uninitiated, expect an education in woozy garage sounds and pulsating psychedelic noise mixed with a murky swagger. The Californian psych poppers just released their long-awaited new album Hung at Heart, and will be playing several venues up and down the UK during October and November.
plus KAGOULE…
“The most exciting new band in the city, Kagoule offer the first real rush of blood to the head of the day.
Still finding their feet, they seem to be getting heavier and harder with each and every gig. When they aren’t pummeling you with the creamiest riffs this side of Siamese Dream, they are lulling you in to a false sense of security with some gorgeous and tender moments, before letting rip again and pile-driving riff after riff into your head so hard that it feels like bits of my brain are falling out of my nose. By the end I’m left trying to shove what’s left of my grey matter back up my nostrils.
An exceptional band who are just getting better and better” • Paul Klotschkow of Left Lion
