At the tail end of a banner year, Orange County’s The Growlers have just released an epic two-part video for their songs “Dogheart II” and “Rat Face,” both off of this year’s Gilded Pleasures EP. Warm your frigid Bay Area bones to some summery Southern California scenes in the videos below.

The Growlers are in the midst of a short run of California shows to celebrate the end of the year — they’ll be at the Independent this Friday and Saturday with some of their SoCal-psych compatriots, and we’ve got tickets to give away for both shows. Contest details are as follows.

To enter for a chance to win tickets to see The Growlers at In Independent, email contest@thebaybridged.com with “Growlers” and the date of the show you’re entering for in the subject line and your full name and email address in the body of the email. A winner will be selected at random and notified via email.
