Grinny Grandad Official Website

We like teeth...

Finger Lickin Records



We’re off to London!  We entered “Monty” into a national competition run by Carbon Logic (www.carbonlogic.co.uk) and judged by Finger Lickin’ Records (Plump DJ’s, Krafty Kuts).  We were over the moon to have reached the shortlist, so you can imagine how ecstatic we were when we discovered we won!

Justin Rushmore and Jem Panufnik of Finger Lickin’ Records had this to say:

“This track was the clear winner. It had what I look for in a track - vibe, energy and originality. Monty by Grinny Grandad has something that you just can’t resist and on a second listen makes you feel that the track is already a classic. I love the female vocals, sassy youthful and quirky, the confident beats, great arrangement and nice touches with the gun shot percussion. I also think that a mix down with Snorkel studios will take this project to an exciting level so all in all great name and very worthy winners.”

So, we’re off to London to record and master some tracks and we’ll be doing some gig action down there too over the next month or two - watch this space!

Cheers so much for all the support we’ve received over the last two years - its completely unexpected, and greatly appreciated.

Claire, Kym, Gav, Smell & Mo

The Moor Music Festival

Now then,

We’re playing The Moors festival this year (which we can’t bloody wait for) - we played the preview night at The Junction a few days ago - some photos here: http://www.upforit-site.co.uk/moorfest.html (Thanks to Captain Ants for coming all the way from Scarborough - lovely beard by the way!!)

We were totally blown away by all the bands that played there.  The Moors Festival is going to be pretty damn fine if you ask us!!!  If you want a safe bet for an amazing weekend in July, then get your tickets here:    http://www.myspace.com/moorfest
or here: http://www.moormusicfestival.co.uk/

Hopefully see you there… lets get drunk, eat well and be merry!

Love and smiles

Remix a la Grandpappy

Now then, hope you’s are ok!
 
Over the coming months we will be releasing a cd to coincide with a limited vinyl release, and we want YOU to remix one of our tracks to go on the cd!  Feel free to remix it any style you wish, use just a bongo if you wish, or a full orchestra… whatever you like, no rules or boundries.
 
The sample pack for the track “Poetry 9” is hosted temporarily on yousendit here: http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=C79655D43004B5F8
 
Send your remixes/covers to info@grinnygrandad.co.uk and we’ll be in touch.  Closing date… hmm, lets say August 25th 2006.  The track we like the most will go on the cd, and the winning remixer will get a copy of the limited vinyl, the cd and some other random goodies!  Confused?  Email us!
Cheers, and peace.  Get razzing!
 
Mo, Lee, Claire & Gav
