Jared Mees & the Grown Children gambled it all in Vegas...


...and won!!!!

"As the night roared on, you wouldn’t believe the kind of sounds coming out of Jared Mees and the Grown Children, also from Portland. Earlier, the lead singer was just a guy standing quietly, listening to all the bands,. But when Mees and his band hit the stage, the atmosphere exploded.

Mees’s lyrics came off as informational pop, as he lamented how hard a year everyone’s had on the song “Tallest Building in Hell.” On “Grave Robbers,” the band switched gears and hit some great rockabilly rhythms that had the crowd dancing en masse. Trumpet player Javier was an underlying current in the whole affair. His high-blasting sounds channeled Herb Alpert.

Mees was thankful to the whole crowd and spoke of supporting local music, and received a huge ovation as a result." Aziz Bawany, Las Vegas City Life
