Grouplove
Nov 28, 2011
Canvasback Music/Atlantic recording artists Grouplove have unveiled details of their North American touring plans for 2012. The Los Angeles-based quintet will support fellow SoCal band Young The Giant on a cross country trek that begins on March 6th at Higher Ground in Burlington, VT.
One of the year's most talked about new bands, Grouplove released their highly anticipated full length debut, Never Trust A Happy Song, in September. The 12 song collection was produced by the band's own Ryan Rabin and features the hit single, "Colours." Grouplove performed on CBS' "The Late Show with David Letterman" on November 18th.
Grouplove closed last year touring the U.S. with The Joy Formidable and being handpicked to open a number of West Coast dates for Florence + The Machine. They have been touring nearly nonstop since, including a sold-out, cross country co-headlining tour with Foster The People. This past summer also saw the LA-based quintet -- Christian Zucconi (vocals, guitar), Hannah Hooper (vocals, keys), Sean Gadd (bass, vocals), Andrew Wessen (guitar, vocals), Ryan Rabin (drums) -- perform at music festivals all over the world and back home in the U.S., including stand-out sets at Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, the Reading & Leeds festivals and Glastonbury, among others.
