Jack McLaughlin, The Vumms, and Temple Brothers Live at Grog Shop Thursday, May 2 7p doors / 8p show All Ages $10 advance / $12 day of show +$3 at the door if under 21 Jack McLaughlin Geared to the specific sound and style of early mid 1960s Britain, Jack McLaughlin draws inspiration from artists like; “The Who” for instrument abandon; “The Small Faces” for soul and grit; and “The Beatles” for definitive composition.  In a style Jack calls ‘Mod Power Pop,’ he is releasing fourteen new songs bursting with melodic punch. The Vumms The Vumms are led by songwriting duo Emilio Marriott (rhythm guitar/vox) and Philippe Kogan (lead guitar/vox), along with Tom Middleton (drums). Inspired by acts such as The Velvet Underground and The Kinks, their sound is powered by a blend of genres leaning mainly towards indie pop and garage rock (or "garage pop", if you will), infused with the catchy and melodic songwriting sensibilities of the 1960's.
