It's Grammartime @ The Hideout
With the work week starting on a Tuesday, it's easy to let the week get away from you, so you'd better start making plans now because you'll be kicking yourself if you miss something like a great show at The Hideout.
Local pop group Grammar has been playing around town somewhat under the radar lately, but tomorrow they play their first headlining gig. Their self-titled EP is purely pop with catchy hooks and feel good melodies, but lead singer and songwriter Brent Pulse (formerly of Bumpus) also shows that pop has a charming side. Tunes like "Won't Let Go" are pillowy soft and sincere, and you'll still be singing along. The group often brings interesting off-color instruments into the mix--everything from xylophone, to accordion, to melodica--in creating these pristine melodies. If you come by simply because you're curious, you're likely to find yourself dancing in the front row by the end of the show.
Grammar play The Hideout Thursday, September 10. Clip Art opens. Show starts at 9pm. Tickets are $8. 1354 W. Wabansia. 21 & up.
