London Grammar – A San Francisco Concert Opportunity


     London Grammar was first introduced to Indie Obsessive on July 5, 2013. Quoting that post: “As indicated by the band’s name, they are based in London. The members are Hannah Reid, Dot Major and Dan Rothman. Rothman is the source of the guitar sounds, which remind us of what we like about the guitar from the Australian band Jezabels. Major plays the keyboard, djembe and drums. Reid knocks you over with her amazing vocals.”
     London Grammar will visit the U.S. again in 2014. Among the stops, they will perform at The Independent in San Francisco on Thursday March 27. The full schedule is pasted at the bottom of this post.
     The band has received attention, particularly in Europe, but the measure of notoriety continues to have a steep positive slope. London Grammar has been willing to tour and to accept invitations to visit high profile radio stations and Internet broadcasts, as well as the Jools Holland BBC show. They were invited to the KEPX studio for an interview and performance on September 30. The resulting KEPX release is embedded below. Also embedded is our current favorite of the London Grammar songs, which is the title track from “Metal & Dust.”
    Tickets for the San Francisco show are available at noon today (November 22). We know what we will be doing at noon. Tickets for the SF performance are on sale at: CLICK HERE.
