The Grates rock!
For The Grates’ debut album Gravity Won’t Get You High (2006), their signature animal was the giraffe. It was a fitting match: that year, the album towered over all other beasts, made mammoth strides, and won the affection of the people, both here and abroad. Two years later, The Grates present their second album, Teeth Lost, Hearts Won: an entirely different animal altogether.
“If Teeth Lost, Hearts Won was a beast, I imagine it’d be like something from Where the Wild Things Are,” Patience says. “They’re big and scary. But they’ve also got this sensitivity, and pick up the little kid and protect him.” Alana thinks. “Or maybe the griffin in Alice in Wonderland,” she says. “He’s like a lion and eagle together, but a really gentle creature.”
The reputation of The Grates for their amazing live shows precedes them, with their recent tour, shows all around Australia sold out. We at Two Flat Whites love the sounds of The Grates. They have alot of energy & they’re music is fresh & upbeat. They are busy over the summer break with plenty of live performances including the Falls Festival & Big Day Out in every state. Check out some of there music & upcoming shows right here .
