About
THE GROWLERS IN CONCERT:
SoCal garage and psych rock favorites The Growlers continued to evolve in 2014 with their third album Chinese Fountain, an ambitious record that expanded their laid-back "beach goth" sound with polished arrangements and crisp production. While the album marked a mature new direction for the band, their outrageous live shows remained as satisfyingly madcap as ever, treating ticket buyers to colorful wigs, outré makeup, cross-dressing, and assorted props and antics. Whether the band is conjuring up the retro haze of "One Million Lovers" or basking in the disco strut of "Chinese Fountain" , they always deliver an unforgettable concert experience that combines eccentric theatricality with first-rate musicianship.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
The Growlers formed in Southern California in 2006 and quickly made a name for themselves with their trippy, reverb-soaked take on '60s pop. After several early lineup changes the band settled on their core roster of Brookes Nielson (vocals), Matt Taylor (lead guitar), Anthony Braun Perry (bass), Kyle Straka (keyboards, guitar), and Scott Montoya (drums) and released their 2009 debut album Are You In or Are You Out? They followed up in 2010 with the Hot Tropics EP, a critically acclaimed collection chock-full of compact psych-rock jams like "Sea Lion Goth Blues" and "Graveyard's Full". In 2012 the band hosted the first annual Beach Goth Party, a showcase of modern surf rock and neo-psych bands that featured performances by local favorites including Dante Vs Zombies, Tijuana Panthers, and Summer Twins. They kept the vibes flowing in early 2013 with the release of their sophomore record Hung at Heart, a critically acclaimed collection that Filter magazine described as having a “little something for everybody”. In 2014 The Growlers released their third album Chinese Fountain, a polished release that they backed up with a series of rollicking, psychedelic performances on tour.

Rating: 4 out of 5 The Growlers Night 2.
by AFarmer76 on 9/11/18Neptune Theatre - SeattleThe Growlers were good, they sounded great and they played well. But it seemed rushed or routine and there was little to no interaction with the audience or chat from the band. I'd rate a show amazing if the band talked more, got involved with the atmosphere, or engaged themselves beyond what is heard on the albums.

Rating: 2 out of 5 They looked like they were asleep
by Trichtre on 4/7/17Neptune Theatre - SeattleThe band looked like they couldn't wait for the show to end. No energy, flat, and then the lead singer dipped off stage for a few songs. It was a weird show.
Rating: 3 out of 5 I love The Growlers!

by Molldoll113 on 10/14/16Paradise Rock Club - BostonMy bf is a big fan of this band for years. He recently introduced their music to me & I love it too. Their energy & sound is great live- had me dancing harder than half the peeps there who prob have known them for longer. Cool, intimate, inviting-dungeon-like venue too @ The Paradise. Would def be down to see them again! I heard from some other fans there that sometimes the lead singer doesn't sound as good, but this show was on point!
Rating: 4 out of 5 Great to finally see them!
by OldJerome on 10/3/16Paradise Rock Club - BostonA few years back when I first heard The Growlers I thought they had a sound like the doors with Bob Dylan leading, and their lyric always deliver a dirty colorful Californium of love and hate. The lyrics are still great although the sound has changed a bit. In Boston they had new mariachi outfits and a neon City Club sign. The cloths seemed to be perfect for there ever changing style of unwashed street rat-hood. At one point in the show I smelled the strong smell of sweat bThey played a great mixture of old and new music, "Bad Land" and "Sealion Goth Blues" were thankfully played. I look forward to seeing them again soon.
