** Live Show Review **

Featured in Libro Musica, April 2018:
We are humbled by the Libro Musica review of our show at The Neighborhood Theatre with The Slants (fresh off a US Supreme Court victory) and Charlotte favs, The Eyebrows.

"There was a shift in the air as Grown Up Avenger Stuff took the stage. Brothers Hunter, John, and Tyler Thomsen riled up the molecules of air before them with an anticipatory guitar note and bass that said, hey, lady, come get this.

Then they produced a sound so drum-heavy and full, I banged my jaw on the floor. They played tighter than a Colombian woman's pants, with a feel like Rage Against the Machine. Tyler is the kind of drummer who can put the crinkle in your lasagna, and had there been noodles in NoDa tonight, he would have...

They played the audience as they played their instruments, settling into a steady groove and gradually amping up its irresistibility until it was almost unbearable, then switching grooves and repeating the process.

Hunter, on bass and lead vocals, had a certain swagger, flipping his hair as the three of them jammed together, guitar spiraling, drums pounding, and bass magicking. They played tight, with the guitar, at times, sounding gritty like under cooked steel cut oatmeal spilling over huge, pillowy drums.

This is music to dance to.

John pushed a pedal and the galaxy poured out of his blue axe. Hunter brought it all together with the bass. As the lyrics slowly worked their way into the song, they played off the instrumental, each amplifying and enhancing the other.

John was a blur, left hand mashed against the body of the instrument, playing impossibly high and impossibly fast, but all the while, proving it possible."
