Grouplove headlines the Knit in April.
Grouplove is utterly aptly named, given that the band members first met up at an artist commune in Crete and became fast friends. Only later did they form the group that specializes in synth-fueled indie-pop and soaring choruses led by vocalists Hannah Hooper and Christian Zucconi.
Their 2011 debut was a hit on the strength of tunes like "Colours" and "Tongue-Tied," which earned them a No. 1 spot on the Alternative chart, and Grouplove has toured with the likes of Portugal. The Man, Foster the People and Florence and the Machine in the intervening years, while continuing to put out new tunes.
Now they're swinging by Spokane in support of their latest release,
Big Mess, that arrived in September. They'll be playing the Knitting Factory on Friday, April 7. Tickets are $25 in advance, and go on sale this Friday at 10 am via the
Knitting Factory website or
Ticketweb.com.
Here's a video for the atmospheric new tune "Good Morning," released today:
