GROUPLOVE IN CONCERT:
Grouplove's feel-good live shows make a strong case for a literal reading of the band's name. Featuring passionate performances, upbeat indie anthems, and audience participation, the band's shows are collective experiences that satisfy both musically and emotionally. Propelled by the group's accessible indie pop songwriting, 2013 sophomore album Spreading Rumors landed at No. 21 on the Billboard 2013, building excitement for their 2014 tour dates with supporting acts MS MR and Alex Winston.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Grouplove's formation reads like the plot of a '60s free love coming-of-age story. One week after making each others' acquaintance in New York's Lower East Side, vocalist Hannah Hooper and guitarist/vocalist Christian Zucconi left town for an artist retreat in Crete, where they met the band's three additional members Andrew Wessen, Ryan Rabin, and Sean Gadd. After performing their first show in LA in 2010, the band was invited on tour with Florence and the Machine, generating significant buzz in advance of their 2011 full-length debut Never Trust a Happy Song. On the ensuing international headlining tour, the band honed their performance skills and developed the sound heard on acclaimed 2013 follow-up album Spreading Rumors.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"From the opener to the encore, the entire experience was unforgettable. Grouplove puts on a great show. Very high-energy, and really engaged with the crowd. They know how to rock!"
"Grouplove played an amazing show. They had a great setlist and looked like they had so much fun doing it. Played a great encore with an unplugged version of "Cruel and Beautiful World..."
"They were amazing and energetic and crazy... it was completely contagious and you couldn't keep from bopping around with them! I had ears that they were just as awesome live as their CDs, and that is completely right."
I’ve been waiting to see Grouplove live for a while now and they were awesome! They were fun, energetic, authentically themselves and sounded great! 9:30 was the perfect venue to see them because it felt so intimate and the phonics were top notch!
This was my first time watching Grouplove live and it was amazing!!!! They sound maybe even better live. The light show was also a big star since it made the experience that much more entertaining. Would pay to see them again!
Grouplove and Bully put on an amazing show, playing all of their biggest songs.
I’ve been a fan of Grouplove for years but I never would have guessed they would be so amazing live!!!!
Amazing energy and such a great show! I’ve been seeing bands since the early 90s so I’m ‘old’ now and generally don’t love being in the thick mix of people but this was an exception. Also… how many people did they confuse when they covered Blur’s ‘Song2’ ????????
I'm not really sure getting the VIP tickets was worth the extra money. Don't get me wrong, the show itself was fantastic. I was just hoping to have a photo op or something with the band. The VIP tickets got us signed VIP lanyards, little art print books, and early access, but it wasn't a 'meet n greet' like I expected. The main band members stood on stage and answered a few questions that were apparently written in advance. They were "running short on time"so they didn't take any other questions from the VIP attendees.
The concert was amazing!! It was such a good show, we love Grouplove!!
Love seeing shows at St. Andrews Hall. Grouplove had energy for days;)
Stars are for the venue. Grouplove rocked it out and sounded great. But it was a huge disappointment when we couldn't even get into / on the main floor because there were so many people there. I have been to St Andrews Hall before and have never been pushed back so far. For my first time seeing Grouplove is sucked that I never really got to "see"them.
It was a small venue. GroupLove sounds just like the album. They played old and new. They know how to keep it going. I love the Art on the tee shirts and sweat shirts. I will see this band again for sure.
