The Growlers, Surfbort, Donzii
Thursday, Sept. 27 @ Georgia Theatre
The progenitors of the quasi-fictional “beach goth” genre that also spawned a popular California music festival of the same name, garage-rock pranksters The Growlers bring their rollicking live show to Athens this week. Featuring a grooving blend of surf, punk and, yes, goth, this year’s Casual Acquaintances full-length is a collection of outtakes, demos and abandoned song fragments culled from sessions for 2016’s City Club. The latter record, produced by The Strokes’ Julian Casablancas, showcased a synthier side of the SoCal collective. New York City punk act Surfbort—a fellow Casablancas associate signed to his Cult Records imprint—opens Thursday’s concert.
