You're right. But also, he's upgraded. This band is much more professional and skilled than his bandmates in The Growlers. Also, seems like the days of the band coming onstage drunk are gone. When he sang "I know nothing stays the same / There's always change /But you and I will remain." it was so obvious that he felt that way about his audience. No turning back.
@@edstipe Idk man the change before City Club was pretty harsh but I feel like it really started to click live between them after a while. I saw them at a festival in 2017 and it was amazing, especially the new keyboard player added a lot of spice. But to me the essential part was always Brooks voice and vocals and the melodies and distinct guitar sound of Matt which had a certain rawness. I don't know if this new band still has that core identity of the former Growlers, it doesn't really seem so, seems more like it's something different (especially the lead guitar). Haven't seen them live though so not sure how it really "feels". But yeah Brooks said that his sound is always evolving so I guess "nothing stays the same" is indeed the motto. Btw who wants the really old Growlers sound can listen to the Chupacabras (I think one of their former members is in that group).
@@edstipe Growlers were liked BECAUSE they were drunk on stage and still deliver their beach got vibes in a very special manner. They have been sanitazed since City club

He's come such a long way from those early days of The Growlers and now he's the only one left still singing this old song; the Burden of the Captain.

“Being young and feeling old”
I'm old feeling young. Last night lol
Brooks Nielsen all ages !
“Let’s bring the baby!” Nice lol
Sic I’m going tomorrow glad he played growlers shit too
it’s awesome to see him back at it, this band sounds pretty damn good, definitely much more professional sounding
Sounding so tight
Thanks to sharing!
Inject this into my veins. Such an amazing concert
Suena y se ve muy bien Brooks
Ty for sharing
My fantasy is that Kyle, Brooks, Matt, Scott, and Anthony get back together and perform Beach Rats
This new band is good, but I’m not sure how I feel about this new sound
I see it kinda imposible after all the shit that have happened but at least we have this new sound, we need to take it or leave it. Hahha
@Blue Shadow true, That is no the spirit of Empty Bones, it's kind funky, empty Bones was dark and majestic.
I thought this was an old performance, but it's from 2022 wtf time flies. And he's the only one left is what I'm hearing? What kinda shit is this?
They should remaster this song
Does he have anymore upcoming shows in the SoCal area?
Sounds like tons better than last….7 years ..nice .
Good thing I wasn’t there cause that baby would’ve caught a contact high from the blunts I would’ve been smoking 😂
Fucking brilliant this is 🔥❤️
0:05 Future rock star pops up on the right. With the headphones on. A legend in the making.
The end jam feels awkward. Holding on to a memory
