San Francisco's G R O WW L E R creates art rock sounds that combine ebullient power pop harmonies with sophisticated weirdo music arrangements. Not content with "verse-chorus-verse" or a pop scene saturated with rubber artists singing fake plastic songs, the band is unpardonably happy making beautiful things even if nobody cares. The story begins in 2008 as King Kongress: an ambitious, yet failed 6-person ensemble from Santa Cruz. Upon a move north to San Francisco in 2009, the group pares down to power trio form dubs themselves ladyfinger. Their debut single ("Burnt Sienna Brown") is released in 2010 recorded in the hills of Oregon by ex bandmate-turned-producer Ben Schaaff. After a glowing reception to its release, the band relocates to the Whiteaker District in Eugene rechristens themselves Growwler. The subsequent single "How can you be so Sure" earned them a finalist spot in Eugene Weekly's "Next Big Thing" and artistic sponsorship via Ninkasi Brewery. A remix collaboration with Brooklyn-based Vinegar Hill Studios followed in 2011. They permanently relocated their songcraft musical errantry back to San Fran Bay in 2012: releasing an EP ("Shooter's Hill") and explosive, Tarantino-inspired music video debut to accompany it (awarded "Audience Favorite" at 2013 Music Video Race). Two expansive single releases ("Long Hair, Short Wits" "Song of Songs") were released on cassette tape in 2013. In 2014, they were chosen to be part of a documentary series from the culture website Lowbrow released a feature video from that. Their 1st full-length LP ("Even Tenor") was released via Vinyl/CD/Digital on March 2015 and distributed by InGrooves imprint, Creature Distribution.
