Not me. This was put together TERRIBLY. Any 8 year old can take movie clips and run a song in the background for 40 minutes. Ad opposed to actually digging for photos and clips of the band.
Still missing them. Gonna go see Brooks on his lil mini ‘the growlers’ tour though! Which I’m excited about. Wish I could see the entire band perform though! ):
Actually, all of the footage of them in the early days in a warehouse studio singing and recording was at their warehouse in Newport Beach at 1599 Superior Ave. You can see the back parking lot area at 1:40 and you can match it up on Google Maps. They rented one of the warehouses in the back and converted it into their living and recording space. This is where they had the school bus that they painted and toured in. There are some live music videos of them in this studio. This warehouse was where they recorded all of the early songs including greatest shits and all the couples that they released on CDs in hand-painted and stenciled CD sleeves.
Such a huge part of my teens to early 20’s listening to the growlers. I remember going to their gigs in Sydney for “Chinese fountain” tour and then “city club”. The crowd change was so noticeable, the latter being rich people and models mixed with “beach goths”. At the time I felt depressed that they changed and kicked out Scott, he was such a unique drummer, and I absolutely hated the new drummer. Now, looking back I’m grateful for the music they put out and the memories I have listening to them. I hope they make enough money and that Brooks is the provider now!
Discovered them a year ago. Became a listener and then a fan. Only to find they were broken up. Fortunately I get to enjoy all of it right away and often. Unfortunately they are not together. Fortunately Brooks still sings and as often is the case the lead singer appears to be the soul and vibe of the band. Unfortunately I dont know enough to know for sure. Fortunately I am going to see him at the Hollywood Palladium with an all Growlers show and his new album is good. Kind of feeling the Sid Barrett solo stuff and for sure see the Morrison influence long before I dug into the bio here. Regardless Brooks keeps the Growlers alive and I am sure they will end up being The Growlers again. Such an original sound. If you like them you might want to check out Shana Cleveland and the Sandcastles and also her band La Luz. Let me know if you agree.
The California Church Teen Choir, no insurance shit is so brilliant LOL I'm so into this and going through the track titles...bringing back so many memories it's so fun!
The growlers remind me of my first marriage. It was a band that my ex and I really bonded over. I have all their albums on LP, a few shirts, and black memories, of course. Lol. Love him and them forever.
I got into them in 2014, I remember watching a live session of a Million Lovers and me and my wife (back then we had just started dating) got deep into them, we saw them plenty of times live in San Diego, although they are broken up I have a gut feeling they will come back some time in the future
since you shared your favorite songs from each album, I'll share mine too - Are you in or out? Acid Rain and Red Tide, are in a tie - Hot Tropics Let it be known - Gilded Pleasures Tell It How It Is - Hung At Heart Derka Blues - Chinese Fountain Dull Boy (the song that got me into The Growlers, I remember listening to this in 2013 but the album was released in 2014?) - City Club I'll Be Around - Casual Acquaintances *have not listened to this album* - Natural Affairs *have not listened to this album*
I know the bassist Anthony, dudes talented af. He’s got his own album unreleased and should be released. But he would tell us stories about the band, it was cool. Still hits me up from time to time
i was looking for it too but he must've forgotten so I found it myself lol ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Gr8nAEuURJI.htmlsi=dOqTlyVHNsO_vQBA
Yeah forreal!! That's what I have been lookin for as well.... He said in the description of something... But unfortunately , I didn't see a damn thang there. Pretty wack
I really can't pick one that's better than the others.... I've seen them live five times now over about ten years time. I fckn love them, and I love how much they changed and how dope they are
For the record.. the name of their record is hung at heart… not hung out at heart.. also in the song monotonia he doesn’t speak Spanish it’s Portuguese I was hoping to learn more of the breakup and maybe about them coming back but oh well still entertaining
i was told by fans and guess Basically they got blamed by a lesbian singer for getting a male stripper because of their starting band. Personally, I think she was just looking for attention because her band isn’t that good. Idk 🤷♀️ I’d laugh at any stripper someone got me even a old one. Also when you’re in a rock n roll band this kind of stuff happens. You don’t go home and read the Bible every night. Brooks posted on his Instagram taking the full responsibility for wrong actions and some people think his wife encouraged him to take charge whilst Matt doesn’t think it’s a big deal and doesn’t think an apology is needed for something so dumb. Kyle is in the middle (my guess) but Kyle also isn’t on Brook’s solo tour. Also Kyle posts a lot of instagram content with Matt. Brooks is on a solo tour and he is still very good live but his band doesn’t have the growlers twang like the O.G band. Brook’s vocals are still godly but it sucks not hearing things quite the same. Matt was supposed to be on a temporary leave but he doesn’t have any indication of returning and removed the growlers website from his instagram page. If they all were single and young they would probably still be together but it’s kinda like John and Paul from the Beatles. Both went their own ways one with Linda and the other with Yoko. Brooks played a new song at a show I went to so my guess is that there will probably be a second solo album. Only time will tell what happens. I really wish they had a documentary on the band explaining everything. I know Scott left the band because he liked that old Growler’s sound like the Doors and after Chinese Fountain they kinda changed direction with City Club. Brooks always wanted to work on different styles. Stonio left the band to work on his own band Catsigns. Maybe old Growlers might do something together . But I think it’s going to be like John and Paul where John did his thing and Paul did his own thing.
Brooks just released a second “ep” I would call it because it’s only 3 songs, but looks like he’s gonna be solo now, I would too with having a family to focus on and already have had the fame and fun he’s probably tired of all the bullsh*t and wants to live his life on his terms and create music whenever he wants / go on tour when he wants, I just missed the tour he’s currently on he just left my state I wish I would have went tickets were pretty cheap I’m sure they’ll go up in time with more albums
@@jacobk4908 Virginia or New York? I saw him in Virginia. New York looked dope with the meet and greet. The new band is good but they kind of are like a phish style while the old band is more doorsey. Though when the show started carnival music was playing and we were out side smoking and knew then that the man himself had started
