Grand Ole Party -- FREE INSTORE

Grand Ole Party In-store Perforance
Thursday, June 19th, 7:00pm
(Free for Live Music Club Members - RSVP Required)

We've had an incredible run of finding bands on their way up and it's looking like Grand Ole Party is poised to be the next "I can't believe I saw them at Fingerprints" band. Rolling Stone called them an "Artist to watch in '08". They blend a classic Bessie Smith influenced old-time jazz vocal, snuggled up with a fiery indie rock flair, ala Karen O. of the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, and all of it nicely layered into a weird early 90s alternative-ska meets current indie rock melange. It's a tough one to nail down, it's loaded with familiarity but is put together in such a fresh way that it's both new and timeless all at once. They've played SXSW, Coachella, and are scheduled for Bonnaroo. They've also recently toured with Rilo Kiley, Vampire Weekend, Rogue Wave, and Fiery Furnaces - it's hard to imagine another unsigned band with that kind of pedigree, let alone one so deserving.

Check out the video for "Look Out Young Son".
