5. Grizzly Bear

Grizzly Bear is one of the biggest independent bands at the moment, and its easy to understand why. They get better with each album, pushing themselves further into chamber-pop arrangements that have a raw feel to them. Their last album, Shields, was one of the best albums of 2012 and will make up a lot of their material for this show.

This is a good thing because Shields represented their strongest songwriting to date. The album is full of memorable tracks that are complex, yet, approachable. They are also known for their intricate interlocking harmonies and anything-goes production. What you will be seeing is a band who seem to be at the peak of their powers. Also, their fanbase has grown substantially over the past few years, which means a bigger stage production with tons of lights and video.
