Last time I saw the band now known as Grooms they were playing down in Austin as The Muggabears at the After the Jump BBQ. There amid the mid-day sun and people wearing sun screen the three Muggabears were completely out of place and they looked a bit uncomfortable despite playing a solid set. Friday night as Grooms and within the dark confines of Public Assembly the band seemed at ease and comfortable on the stage in front of a swelling crowd of people. The music remained the same, steady and solid as it ever was and still reminiscent of Pavement more then anything else. I love that about this band though, they have been going for a few years now slowly building a solid following and now despite the name change they are still going very, very strong. Friday's set was stellar featuring a slew of new tunes that hopefully will be out real soon!
