Wakey! Wakey! (US) @ Debaser Slussen

We are more than happy to have perpetuated Wakey! Wakey!'s first ever concert in Sweden. The Monday audience seemed thrilled over the talkative and facetious Mr Grubbs on stage. He really is an entertaining guy, spendning more than two minutes prior to the first song talking about Beyonce. "How come you guys aren't wearing helloween costumes...?". "You're all dressed up as f**king beautiful people, I love Sweden". He repeatedly refers to the fact that the gig is being live streamed which seemed proper since there were more than six times as many people listening online than at the venue. Social media posts reached more than 80000 people. Thank you Facebook and Twitter!

"Mike Grubbs is the frontman of U.S. indie poppers Wakey, Wakey. He also plays a bartender/struggling musician in U.S. teen drama One Tree Hill, erm... also called Grubbs. But put your memories of Pugwall, the Young Person's Guide to Becoming a Rockstar and any other dodgy TV tie-in away as Mike's been pounding the ivories from a very young age and paid his musical dues many times over. Growing up in a musical household, where piano time was dished out as a reward for homework getting done, Mike found himself trying to bridge the gap between Bach, Beethoven and Brahms and Led Zepp or Elton John. Wat emerged was a melodic, distinctive style of his own, a style that drives Wakey! Wakey!." The Belfast Empire
