LOS ANGELES, CA – The Growlers bring their brand of seamy garage psych to the legendary Hollywood Palladium on Thursday, October 18, performing their new album Casual Acquaintances in its entirety along with fan favorites, rarities, singles, and more. Presented by KROQ and KXLU, the show features an opening set by special guest Kirin J Callinan, currently on the road with the band on the Beach Goth World Tour.
About Casual Acquaintances
Self-produced by core members Brooks Nielsen and Matt Taylor, the album Casual Acquaintances brings back the grit and DIY majesty of vintage Growlers. With its overdriven synths and tender, twisted lyrics, the lead single “Problems III” bridges the gap between “Beach Goth” in its purest form and the dance floor punch that made City Club so compelling. Consisting of demos, works-in-progress and other unfinished business from the band’s City Clubsessions – and featuring cover art by internet phenoms Aleia Murawski and Sam Copeland –Casual Acquaintances defies expectation, delivering a fully-formed vision that stands alongside the band’s finest, fuzziest work.
About The Growlers
From their first LP Are You In or Out? (2009) to Casual Acquaintances (2018), The Growlers have forged their own twisted path on the global music scene. They’re the party band that grew into a traveling circus that spawned their own hit event, Beach Goth. Lead singer Brooks Nielsen draws a particular devotion among Growlers fans, as does chief cohort Matt Taylor, The Growlers’ music director and lead guitarist. Their most recent LP was 2016’s City Club, produced by Julian Casablancas, which saw them expand their palette to include West African, dance, and electronic influences.
