Boston band The Grownup Noise are coming through Sacramento on tour and will play on Wednesday night, August 12th at Marilyn’s on K (908 K St.) at 8PM. They will be playing with other local Sac bands Cowboy Killers and Be Bold Brave Robot.
This is their third time playing in Sacramento. This show is also a part of their continued effort towards green touring, as they recently converted their van to run on used vegetable waste oil.
From their press release:
From this show the band will continue on their fifth national tour as they criss- cross the country playing 20+ dates during July and August, before finally coming home in September. This tour is also part of the band’s continued efforts towards “green” touring, as their van runs on recycled fryalator oil that they collect on the road.
The band has been playing for almost five years at this point, and they have often been compared with other modern indie pop bands such as Stars, Death Cab for Cutie, and Ra Ra Riot. The unique underpinnings of The Grownup Noise’s music are what have garnered them true praise, however, as their experimentation with song form, style (from stomp-along gypsy rock to sober ballads) and instrumentation (who says cello and marimba have no place in indie rock?) yields perfectly stunning results.
The boys and girl are very excited to get back on the road as this tour is coming on the heels of several recent noteworthy successes, including opening for Canadian indie rockers Plaza Central and a recent noteworthy musical appearance on MTV.
Check them out. Marilyn’s is a nice place to see a show anyway…
