Tuesday 23 June, 20:30UFO, 75011 [map]Orouni, Grant Olsen
A night of finely honed songwriting at one of the city's best-kept-secret venues. With a new album out on
MonsterK7 and features on
La Blogothèque and
Said The Gramophone,
Orouni are on the up. Their style? In the words of the band: "Imagine if The Shins were babies, or Leonard Cohen was happy. Imagine if The Kinks had a girl singing or if Nick Drake went electric."
Save room for
Grant Olsen, whose tales of the wild, wars and love strike a personal and intimate note. Check out 2007's "Waterland" for a fine example of his storytelling style.
