Gringo Star – “Get Closer”

September 3, 2016

Psychedelic alternafuzz act Gringo Star recently released a fresh new album, The Sides And In Between. Their single “Get Closer” made its way into our inbox and subsequently melted our faces off. These Atlantans craft jaunty indie rock songs full of smooth, swirly fuzz, a tight-sounding drum set, and a very infectious chorus. Fans of Weezer, The Black Angels, or Ween would dig Gringo Star. The Sides And In Between is out now via Nevado Music.

Tonight: Gringo Star

August 28, 2016

It’s the Wild West meets the wonderful ocean. Deep, dark, and cavernous, yet dirty and mustard yellow. Previews of the new Gringo Star album The Sides and In Between are as amusing as they are unique. “Rotten,” Magic,” and “Get Closer” demonstrate versatility and three different sides of the band. Whether Gringo Star is gritty, keeping it light, or playful (listen carefully to the mix and lyrics of “Get Closer”), Gringo Star shines true. Catch the group headlining at Studio at the Waiting Room with support from Ugly Sun, Feverbox, and One Way to Nowhere. Doors are at 7pm, with the show starting at 7:30pm. Tickets are $12 and the show is all ages (more details here). For soundalikes, see Bosco Rogers and Cage the Elephant. Otherwise, preview Gringo Star’s new album below and warp here for tasteful merchandise.
