GBH w/ Slaughterhouse, The Mainliners, and Necroprophecy LIVE at Grog Shop
Doors 6:30 PM | Show 7:30 PM
ALL AGES
$25 advance / $28 day of show
+ $3 at door if under 21
GBH are:
Colin Abrahall – vocals
Jock Blyth – guitars
Ross Lomas – bass
Scott Preece – drums
Formed in Birmingham, England.
Years active, 1979-present.
All members original except for Scott Preece, who joined in 1993.
One of GBH’s earliest songs was called “No Survivors”. As the band returns to the United States celebrating their 45th Anniversary, they find themselves in rare rock and roll territory; a multi-generational act in an industry where most artists don’t last five years. The secret, according to vocalist Colin Abrahall, was set long ago: "This isn't a phase or fashion. It’s more than a lifestyle. It’s our life.”
The live show has always been the beating heart of GBH. They tour relentlessly, routinely playing over 100 shows a year, from squats to stadiums, constantly attracting new fans with their legendary blistering performance. “Some people have been coming to our shows since our first US tour in 1983, Abrahall explains. "Other people find us because of our records or reputation. Some kids just because they've seen some celebrity wearing our shirt. I suppose it's like being part of a global family where you keep meeting relatives you didn't know you had.”
“I love the small clubs", says bassist Ross Lomas, “proper punk rock.” Abrahall relates how the band got their first gig, "the owner of The Crown pub told us we could play if we rebuilt his stage. So we like people doing their own scene, like Crash Fest in San Francisco." With a laugh he quickly adds "don't get me wrong; we like the bigger venues too." Lomas stresses the importance of the bands who tour with GBH "We're out with Slaughterhouse this time. We've had The Bronx, The Casualties, Piñata Protest. Last US tour Nis opened. Great bands. So it's not just about us. It's about friends. It's about good music."
Family. Friends. Odd words for the originators of hardcore punk; pioneers who made a fast and furious sound cited as an influence by artists across the musical spectrum, especially punk and metal. But they’ve always been central concepts to GBH. "Maybe we've been together so long because we were friends before we were in a band together" said Abrahall.

Slaughterhouse
Slaughterhouse
Punk
Slaughterhouse emerged from the South Bay of Los Angeles in late 2017 and hit the ground running with local and out-of-state shows, and an EP that would define their punk and death rock sound.
They have continued to build their name playing explosive live shows with songs from their debut LP, Fun Factory; out as a split release on Todd Congelliere of F.Y.P’s label Recess Records, and Water Under the Bridge Records. They’ve shared stages with the likes of Pennywise, Social Distortion, Adolescents, Dead Kennedys, and Alkaline Trio. In 2022 they toured with Bad Religion and played sold out shows with Amyl & The Sniffers, and Destroy Boys, with no signs of slowing down. Most recently, Slaughterhouse hit the road for a month-long US tour with UK pals, Grade 2, and finished the tour with a Punk Rock Bowling club show with Alice Bag.
With Meriel O’Connell on vocals, Eddie Cairns on bass, Taylor Ramirez on guitar, and Nick Aguilar on drums, the band continues to write explosive new songs and are currently working on a new album.

The Mainliners
The Mainliners
Punk
Raised in Southern California by parents who brought them to DIY punk shows and spun classic punk records in the house, Hollywood, CA-based punk up-and-comers, The Mainliners, are the real thing. And they embrace their roots, taking inspiration from such legendary SoCal bands as TSOL, Descendants, and DI, and drawing comparisons to others in the vanguard, from The Circle Jerks to The Adolescents.
Formed in the crucible of pent-up creative energy that was a quarantine-era art/punk house in Los Angeles, the band hit the ground running - writing songs, playing shows, and switching instruments for a year and a half before the official four man lineup of Cash Mathieu on vocals, Colin Martin on guitar, Adrian Morris on bass, and Jackson Fox on drums was cemented.
Since then, the band has been hard at work developing their musical and visual language across several singles, an EP, an album, and a live album, all released since 2023. They’ve been tearing up stages across the country and getting their name out there playing with bands such as Enjoy, Gvllow, Civic and Bad Nerves. They also played to a huge crowd as the only punk band on the 2024 edition of Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival in their hometown of Los Angeles, proving that The Mainliners’ sound, look, and message connects, not just with punks, but with fans of good music.
