The Griswolds Concert Review

 Lead singer, Chris Whitehall

 Bassist, Tim John

 Guitar and keyboard, Daniel Duquesne-Perez

The Griswolds rock! They are a band composed of four lovable Australian guys who make some of the greatest and some of the best music I have heard. I love their lead singer, Chris Whitehall because he is just pure fun and has style that rocks as the WALK THE MOON fans could tell as from his WALK THE MOON tights. I think we should take the cue from him and start using more "sentence enhancers" like him and by that I mean you should be saying "fucking" as an adjective at least once in each sentence. Of course it was Lachlan's birthday, as it is every night. They started out the show strong by walking out to Gangster's Paradise by Coolio and kicking the show off with 16 Years which was upbeat enough to get everyone into them. While playing Mississippi, Whitehall takes encouraging the crowd to song along to a new level by dangling his microphone over the crowd. He doesn't joke around when he wants his fans voices to be heard. They played about ten wonderful songs of theirs and everyone was sad to see them go. I'll admit that I was sad that they didn't get to play all of their songs but that's because all of their songs are my favorite songs and they only miss out on playing a couple. I was actually surprised that they ended with Heart of a Lion rather than Beware the Dog (which was played second to last) because even if you don't know who they are yet, you might have heard Beware the Dog because it has a fun tempo and everyone wants an excuse to scream at the top of their lungs that someone's fucking crazy. Heart of a Lion makes sense for these guys because it comes from their original EP and just feels like it has become their theme song even if it's not the most popular one. The Griswolds just put on a great and fun filled show and if you haven't seen them yet, whether they're opening for WALK THE MOON or headlining on their new EXCELLENT ADVENTURE TOUR, go for any chance you can see them because you'll never forget it!
