Groan Announce New Lineup and First Live Show in Two Years
Maybe London heavy rockers Groan were being more literal than it at first seemed when they titled the opener of their 2015 Highrospliffics EP (review here) as ‘Run out of Fucks,’ because apparently it’s been two years since the last time they played a show. That’s a situation the charm-laden outfit will rectify later this month when they hit the stage at The Black Heart in Camden — which I have no doubt continues to be as awesome a place to see a gig as I remember it being, despite whatever changes it may have undergone in the far-too-many-years since I was last there — alongside Butcher in the Fog, Beggar and Jackknife Seizure.
The band, somewhat unsurprisingly, also have a new lineup they’ll be unveiling that includes Tom Mowforth from Uncle Acid, so, you know, not too shabby there either in terms of pedigree. They threaten new material below as a possibility as well. If nothing else, they’re due for something of a resurgence.
Here’s their update:
First Groan Show Since 2016!
Groan are back!
Long time no speak, Groan fans.
It’s been nearly two years since Groan last performed live, way back in 2016. We’re thrilled to announce that we’re playing a one-off show in London this month on February 24th. Get tickets here.
It wouldn’t be a Groan comeback without a change in lineup (this four piece has had eleven different members in our eight years), and we’re excited to reveal that joining us on drums is Tom Mowforth (Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, Limb). Mazzereth remains at the helm with Linz (Vodun) and Leigh on guitar and bass.
It’s a Saturday night, it’s only £5 for a ticket, and it’s in the new and improved, bigger and better Black Heart. We’re supported by some great bands too. What’s not to like?!
We’ll see you there. And who knows what will happen next – we might even be writing for the first time since Highrospliffics!
