THE GROWLERS 2015
2014 saw California’s The Growlers release their fifth full length album “Chinese Fountain” (Out in Australia via Smack Face Records) and now they are bringing their internationally-celebrated live show back to Australian shores throughout January 2015.
After showcasing their “Beach Goth” intensity to sold-out shows throughout Australia already earlier this year, The Growlers returned to their home of California to bring you a new full-length album of reverb-heavy surf-guitar, Bakersfield-style honky-tonk, and ‘80s post-punk that fans have come to expect, but this time with a whole mix of new sounds. The 11 songs found on Chinese Fountain are some of the strongest and most diverse that they’ve committed to tape yet; a by-product not only of eight years in the trenches together, but finely honing their gypsy folk dirges and psychedelic sea shanties to fans at close to 150 shows each year.
Making their way across the globe for the last few months (including their own curated third-annual “Beach Goth Festival” with the likes of DIIV, The Drums, Cherry Glazerr, Joyce Manor, Mariachi El Bronx, Bleached + Many More), The Growlers finally bring the Chinese Fountain tour to Australia with an extensive 12-date tour throughout January, with more shows to be announced.
