Active Child is excited to announce a new Fall tour of the United States and parts of Canada with School of Seven Bells. Beginning at Brooklyn Bowl in Brooklyn, NY, on Thursday, September 9, and culminating in a performance at Johnny Brenda’s in Philadelphia, PA, on Friday, October 22, Active Child will be touring to showcase the songs that have allowed him to garner critical praise from the likes of notable outlets such as NME, The Guardian, LA Weekly, Pitchfork, The FADER and many others. Active Child recently toured the US with Islands and Steel Phantoms in support of his recently released debut EP titled Curtis Lane (June 1, FILTER US Recordings).
Active Child is the new project from choirboy-turned-indie pop musician Pat Grossi. The influence of chorale singing, along with the sensibility of non-secular music, is as apparent in Active Child’s work as the influence of cherished pop bands like New Order, Joy Division and Tears for Fears.
