The Grates are getting back together with their original lineup, taking on a special run of shows to celebrate ten years of rock and roll.
They’ll be performing some of the most memorable moments of Teeth Lost, Hearts Won, as well as songs from their breakout, debut LP Gravity Won’t Get You High and some classics from the rest of their extensive and impressive catalogue.
“When we first broke up as a band we sought council from a psychologist because we wanted to do it without regret,” says singer Patience Hodgson. “He suggested we spend a good length of time apart, so when we came back together, it would be as three different people. The psychologist was right. We missed each other’s weddings. We missed each other’s birthdays. Finally, we missed each other. International phone calls went from once a year to more, then once a month to more, and we’d be chatting for hours and hours like high schoolers.”
