The Grogans @ The Metro, 1st Aug

“If you want to know why The Grogans – who on the surface are guitary and surf-adjacent catnip for the moustache-and-mullet crowd – are, in fact, something a bit different, just take a look at the front row here tonight, 100% made up of young, loud women, most of whom have been hanging on the barrier since doors. While the songs carry the requisite testosterone and six-string intensity, it’s also fuelled by an emotional intelligence that brings pop-gang girl-hang nights out together with the fully-seshed boy brigade, and yet, somehow, makes the whole thing work together. It’s honestly a little bit magic, and an atmosphere I want to last forever, everywhere I go.”
