We had a great turnout at AMPLYFi last night!! Over 40 GrowYoung fans! Thank you to everyone who came out to support us. We know it’s a pain to drive out to Hollywood so we really appreciate all of you who made the drive out to see us! Thank you to everyone who helped pass out zines and download cards, and thank you to all our close friends for helping us set up and tear down. A quote(in my own words) from Eric-owner of AMPLYFi-“Most bands record harmonies on the record but they can’t pull them off live-and you guys pulled it off. All your voices blend really well together. We’re fans here at AMPLYFi.”
Our first show was a success!! We had so much fun playing for everyone and we thank everyone who came out last Friday for your support!
A BIG thank you to the following:
Dugan Cruz for letting us borrow your monitors!
