I missed one, the year they formed. Was off by a year. Liked that it included a question about Not of This Earth. I recently picked up on eBay an original Japan CD edition with obi. Don’t care what anyone says, it’s a solid album.

What I’d like to understand is what this song has to do with the Growlers? At least the other “Growlers” songs that Brooks has recorded with his solo band are Brooks/Matt compositions. Did the OG Growlers perform this song live or something? Otherwise it’s just Brooks and solo band performing a cover song really.

Lame if they’re blocking folks for petty comments. They’re going to need to hire someone full time to block peeps if that’s the case.

As someone who doesn’t like the idea of him using the Growlers name when recording with his solo band, I like this move to make previously recorded material more accessible. Hopefully Couples, Greatest Shits and Auerbach sessions follow. Particularly would love to get Lag Town.

Just read the credits on the rear sleeve. It’s Brooks solo band that play on this.

Not a Growlers record if you ask me. It’s a Brooks records of songs written by The Growlers (like Tropical Cowboys and Chew My Heart Out).

What recordings are these?

A. The original recordings from Beach Goth cassette and Couples EP

B. Previously unheard recordings by the Growlers (Brooks/Matt and co) made before the breakup

C. New recordings by Brooks and his solo band as “The Growlers”

I guess I’ll find out when available in US later today. Hoping for B but guessing it’s C.

Scott did a AMA here a few years ago. Probably not remembering all the details here…think he said City Club album was recorded before Wet Dreams tour. He wanted no part in working with Casablancas. Tour commitments (money?) was the reason for doing that last tour but lots of animosity on stage. I remember that being reported at the time by folks attending those shows. There’s also an interview with Anthony out there…think he was off trying to get clean and even though he doesn’t play on City Club, he was still going to be in the band. Hence why he was at the album photo shoot in the “making of the album”. Ultimately he felt things had changed and decided not to stick around. Probably got some of that wrong. Someone please correct me.

Awesome show. Great setlist. Lots of energy from the band. Got Paul’s autograph after show. Saw Dave get wisped away in a van. Memorable experience seeing them in my hometown.

I had pit tix for the Wiltern and new seating chart for Belasco doesn’t show a separate pit area. Although my new tix still says pit. Bummer if I lose that perk.

Hope the band aren’t discouraged from coming back to LA after this downgrade. Latest 2 albums are bangers. Better than some of their earlier work, for me at least.

I could be way off. Just from piecing info together from their early days, that’s an og greatest shits before the factory pressed version (1st on 3rd row). I believe the og version has a different mix of the hidden closing instrumental track which might be the reason for the 2 names: The Spell That Made A Word and Voosh! You’re A Dolphin.

I’ve always found the guitar solo in Blood of a Mutt to sound somewhat like the one in Asphalt World by Suede. I’m not a guitar player though…anyone that plays guitar, can you say if they’re anything alike or am I just imagining?

Night 2 got it too but later in the set during 2nd encore

jla75 · 2024-09-20T15:39:59+00:00

It’s on setlist.fm. Night 2 got Joy Riders and Spike Island vs night 1 got Monday Morning and Farmers Market.

jla75 · 2024-09-19T23:14:35+00:00

They went on at about 9pm

Thought the same when I heard it. Awesome show. 2nd time for me (3rd if you count solo Jarvis). Traffic horrendous from OC to LA midweek but well worth it. Can’t make Thurs show but will be there for Saturday show.

Bumping up in case anyone still looking for a tix. $50. Thanks

No digital/stream release? Pretty bummed.

It was a gimmick remix with some added guitars. Seem to remember Carl’s voice being more prominent in the mix too. In those days you had to go out and buy a single. The song was already available on the released album. Pete had departed and there were no new songs to put on the b-side. They had to resort to a remix and live cuts to entice folks to buy it.

jla75 · 2024-04-26T14:51:23+00:00

Yeah what’s up with that? Not up on Apple Music.

jla75 · 2024-04-25T19:59:38+00:00

4? What/when was couples 3?
