GRVRBBRS: December 29 @ Mercury Lounge, New York, NY
Last week I made my way to the LES to partake in a little music intoxication. I'd gone to see Jump Into The Gospel but decided to head down to Mercury Lounge early to che
ck out a couple of the bands that were also performing. The duo that took the stage right before them was GRVRBBRS.

The duo that took the stage right before them was GRVRBBRS.When the guys from GRVRBBRS started setting up, I was pretty sure I wasn't going to like them. They had on Marine type outfits and my first thought was, this is going to be some cheesy ass shit. They had computers, keyboard/synth things and lots of wires. But, I held out some hope because there were actual guitars and basses being set up as well. Besides, I'm a reasonably open minded person and learned a very long time ago that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
The pair kicked off their set and I have to say, GRVRBBRS, I apologize for thinking you would be cheesy! Forgive me? I'm woman enough to admit my initial prediction was wrong. It was seriously wrong! They busted out a set of dance mixes that had everyone dancing up in there. They turned the joint into a party. Outfits aside, I ended up digging them. I do so love those moments when I discover I like something I didn't think I would.
Check them out if see them on a line-up. But, you'd better bring your dancing shoes. I guarantee you will dance.
