Girl Cologne plays the Beachland Ballroom & Tavern

Girl Cologne, a self proclaimed “grungy pop punk” band, played the Beachland Ballroom & Tavern at 8 p.m. on March 29th. The concert followed the release of their second single, “My Baby,” and celebrated their bassist’s birthday. 

Opening for the Cleveland-based band at the Waterloo Arts District venue was solo acoustic artist, The House of Wills, metal and hard rock group, Invasion Invasion, and debut band, Olivia and the Bells. The set made for a night of angsty rock that got the lively, intimate crowd ready to headbang for the final performance. 

Up on their feet and ready to dance, concert-goers welcomed Girl Colonge’s front-woman and keyboardist, Jenna, drummer, Parker, guitarist, Cade, and bassist, Em, to the stage around 9:30 p.m.. The night ended with a chorus of happy birthday from the band members and fans as Em rang in year 23.

“The energy of everyone performing was incredible,” Em said after the show, “It definitely was a great birthday!”

Girl Cologne’s next show will be at 8 p.m. on April 18th at The Foundry Concert Club, 11729 Detroit Ave., Lakewood, with Northern Ohio indie rock trio, The Stereotypes, and emo band from Eastlake, Tall Grass.
