When Grouplove took a pause from their world tour and appearances at music festivals such as Coachella and Bonnaroo, the L.A. indie rock quintet used the time to make a sophomore record. Spreading Rumours is the band’s follow-up to 2011’s successful Never Trust A Happy Song. The second single released from their debut LP, “Tongue Tied” went platinum and reached number one on the alt radio charts. Their combination of both male and female voices, as well as their ample use of the keyboard, creates Grouplove’s distinct, upbeat sound. They will be playing an electric night on Sept. 25 at the Bowery Ballroom, and an acoustic night Sept. 26 at McKittrick Hotel.
