The Growlers are coming back fo Chicago! This coming October 6, Brooks Nielsen and co. will be performing at The Vic Theatre.
The band is about a year removed from their latest album, City Club, which saw them broaden their sound for their first release under Julian Casablancas’ label, Cult Records. The record saw the Cali group step away a bit from their signature Beach Goth stylings to venture out to explore and adopt elements from other genres; the move may have initially stirred some mixed feelings among some fans, but once you got past the impact shock of hearing them do things differently, it was easy to see (and appreciate) what they were trying to accomplish. Revisit our review of City Club to see why I picked it as one of my favorite albums of 2016.

The group will also be holding their new festival at the end of the month. The Growlers Six will have its inaugural shows on October 28 & 29 at the LA Waterfront and will feature performances from the Growlers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Modest Mouse, Danny Brown, Dan Auerbach, and Juvenile.
