HINDS IN CONCERT:
All-female Spanish garage rockers Hinds have become indie darlings on both sides of the Atlantic thanks to their deliciously fuzzed-out sound, cheeky lyrics, and exuberant live performances. In concert the band is a whirlwind of guitar-driven energy, tearing through playful tunes with riot grrrl verve while they trade spunky vocal oohs and ahhs. Happy fans get all caught up in their youthful spirit, bopping around to the catchy guitar riffs and driving rhythms of infectious garage nuggets like “Garden” and “Bamboo”. Hinds has performed their boisterous sets for ticket buyers at festivals like SxSW and Glastonbury, and they amass new fans every time they kick out their catchy lo-fi jams in concert.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Hinds formed in Madrid in 2011 under the name Deers, but had to change it because of legal issues. They went on hiatus in 2012 then returned to the scene with a splash in 2014 when they uploaded the demos “Bamboo” and “Trippy Gum” to Bandcamp, which earned high praise from major outlets like NME and The Guardian. After playing shows with major acts like The Libertines and Black Lips, Hinds released the single “Barn” to another round of critical praise that left promoters scrambling to get them on their festival bills. Hinds delivered on the buzz, impressing fans around the world in 2015 with epic sets at major festivals like Benicassim, Dot to Dot, and SxSW (where they played a whopping 16 shows in just four days). They released their debut LP Leave Me Alone in early 2016 to rave reviews, and fans can’t wait to party down with the fearless foursome as they perform the new material in concert.
