Do you want The Growlers to set you up with a greasy SoCal beach goth? Well, all you have to do is pass their "love test" and that sun-burnt hipster is all yours. The band's new video for the psychaelic surf-rock single "Love Test" combines the elements of a classic television dating game with the red-lit haze of an after-hours Chinese lounge. Is this how beach goths find love? Because I'm sort of scared, but also curious, and I think that's the point. Chinese Fountain is the fifth full-length album from The Growlers that came out last September via Everloving Records. Vocalist Brooks Neilsen had this to say about the record: "The band played better than they’ve ever played. We’ve got the process down now. There’s less screwing around to get the songs laid out and we weren’t waiting around for take after take. We knew it and we played without much time to spare.”Tour Dates:06.03.15 – Taos, NM @ Taos Mesa Brewing06.05.15 – Dallas, TX @ Trees06.06.15 – Ozark, AR @ Wakarusa06.08.15 – New Orleans, LA @ One Eyed Jacks06.09.15 – Atlanta, GA @ Terminal West06.10.15 – Asheville, NC @ New Mountain Theatre06.11.15 – Manchester, TN @ Bonnaroo06.12.15 – St. Louis, MO @ Old Rock House06.13.15 – Norman, OK @ Opolis06.18.15 – San Francisco, CA @ Great American Music Hall06.19.15 – San Francisco, CA @ Great American Music Hall06.20.15 – San Francisco, CA @ Great American Music Hall07.11.15 - Ottawa, ON @ Ottawa Blues Festival07.15.15 - Dublin, Ireland @ Whelan's07.17.15 - Tromso, Norway @ Bukta Tromsø Open Air Festival07.18.15 - Nijmegen, Netherlands @ Valkhof Festival07.19.15 - Leeuwarden, Netherlands @ Welcome to The Village07.20.15 - Rotterdam, Netherlands @ Rotown Rotterdam07.24.15 - Benidorm, Spain @ Benidorm Festival07.25.15 - Oro-Medonte, ON @ Way Home Festival09.11.15 - Las Vegas, NV @ Bunkhouse09.12.15 - Las Vegas, NV @ Bunkhouse09.16.15 - Portland, OR @ Wonder Ballroom09.17.15 - Eugene, OR @ Cozmic09.18.15 - Arcata, CA @ Kate Buchanan Room09.19.15 - Sacramento, CA @ TBD Festival09.26.15 - Boulder, CO @ Fox Theatre09.27.15 - Lawrence, KS @ Bottleneck09.29.15 - Milwaukee, WI @ Turner Hall09.30.15 - Chicago, IL @ Metro10.01.15 – Ann Arbor, MI @ Blind Pig10.02.15 – Toronto, ON @ Horseshoe Tavern10.03.15 – Toronto, ON @ Horseshoe Tavern10.04.15 – Ithaca, NY @ The Haunt10.05.15 – Philadelphia, PA @ Union Transfer10.07.15 – Boston, MA @ Sinclair10.08.15 – NYC, NY @ Irving Plaza10.09.15 – NYC, NY @ Irving Plaza10.10.15 – Washington D.C @ 930 Club10.11.15 – Chapel Hill, NC 2 Cats Cradle10.12.15 – Nashville, TN @ Exit In11.7-8 – Austin, TX @ Fun Fun Fun
