We Grow Up - Night Kitchen

This Is a Real Find, This One. An Entire Album of Fully Focused And Well Thought-Out Pop Songs That Come Straight Out of the School of Colorful Whimsies - Whose First Graduate Was the Beatles And Last One Darren Hanlon. That Might Give You a Little Idea of Where We Grow Up Are Coming From. We Grow Up Are a Five-Piece Band from Adelaide Who Formed in 2006, Led By Singer-Songwriters Jonathan Mortimer And Anthony Golding. They Are Joined By Bassist Prudence Hart, Keyboardist Jakub Tengdahl (Who Drummed on the Album) And New Drummer Tom Mackay. The Band Won a Triple J Unearthed Competition in 2007, Supported Missy Higgins in Their Home Town And Some Regular Triple J Airplay Has Helped Create Greater Awareness of the Band Nationally. We Grow Up Cite Numerous Influences, Foremost Among Them Elliott Smith And the Beatles. They Often End Up Sounding Like Crowded House, the Lucksmiths And Darren Hanlon, with Lyrically Driven Straightforward Pop Tunes Woven Into a Fabric of Melodic And Occasionally Skewed Instrumentation.
