Grouplove

Grab an icy pole and dance like a lunatic

Overview

Grouplove are such a summer band. Their tunes are happy, their vibe is laid back and seriously, they wear face paint… I dare you to find a band more suited to Brisbane’s current atmosphere. Who wants to listen to sad, slow music when there are tunes like Itching on a Photograph and Tongue Tied out there on the radio? Save the depressing stuff for winter, I say. Grab an icy pole and dance like a lunatic instead.

During July, the band briefly visited the country for a Splendour in the Grass appearance, causing Australia’s adoration for Grouplove to grow. According to ‘sources’ their Sunday morning set was the talk of everyone who saw it and apparently left the crowd in a Zen-like bliss of happiness, rainbows and unicorns, which is ideal.

Luckily for those who missed out, Grouplove were tempted back to play the Falls and Southbound Festivals. This time sideshow punters also scored, as the band are doing sets Australia wide throughout January. Hitting Brisbane on the 10th, they will be playing to a jovial, crowded and unfortunately sold-out Zoo.

Obviously news of their talent has spread since July, making tickets a hard commodity to come by. Therefore if you already have a ticket, you are under a large obligation to have a fantastic time. If you missed out, chin up, Grouplove are sure to be back soon as they’re practically made for Australia.
