Young the Giant provides ‘Cough Syrup’ for flu season
February 15, 2017
Since 2011, Californian indie-rock band Young the Giant has been hitting the alternative airwaves with force starting with its first two singles, “My Body” and “Cough Syrup,” which peaked at No. 4 and No. 2 on the U.S. Alternative charts, respectively.
Young the Giant will bring its hit songs to Des Moines at 8 p.m. Thursday at Hoyt Sherman Place.
Tickets start at $25 and can be purchased on the Hoyt Sherman website.
The group’s latest release, “Home of the Strange,” was met with high acclaim from fans of the band and featured the singles “Something to Believe In” and “Silvertongue.”
“Even with chart success, critical praise … and [appearances at] high-profile festivals, Young the Giant still feel like they have a lot more to do and, more important, a lot more to say as a band,” the band said in a press release.
Young the Giant’s stop in Des Moines is part of the group’s extended “Home of the Strange” tour, which added more than 20 extra dates after an extensive U.S. tour last fall.
