Grandson

Doors: 7:00, Show: TBD

Tickets with fees are $38.25

I have seen grandson previously and really enjoyed the show. With this kind of music I mostly am drawn by the energy of the music and don't necessarily focus on the lyrics (even if i am singing them!). Something about these songs make me pay attention a bit more than normal and I appreciate the passion he has for using art to express social commentary.

From 9:30 Club event listing...
Already an artist admired for both his searing social commentary (see the breakthrough hit ‘Blood // Water’) and heart-breaking true life stories (the fan memorial ‘Heather’), grandson is going darker, harder and more uncompromising than ever before as he prepares to release his third full-length album ‘INERTIA’.
‘INERTIA’ is the sound of grandson becoming lean and ferocious. The overarching theme is a clamour for what he calls a “growing need for class solidarity that can be achieved by seeing that across any political spectrum, people stand to benefit from the consolidation of power in the hands of the many against the few.” That concept is set to music which pumps the heart before engaging the mind: colossal heavyweight riffs, raging, blood-vessel busting raps, soaring hooks, and the philosophy that music that fights for social justice should sound like a rallying cry.

Will post a message closer to show date to check interest in meeting up before the show to socialize and grab some food or drink.
