Grandfather - Lit Lounge 6/12

More Big Ass coverage for you guys of the particularly man-could-get-muggy-hot-fire variety! BAL Crew was in full effizect this past weekend catching New York based ear drum destroyers, Grandfather. A rock trio hailing from Brooklyn, they’re most definitely on our radar of tight-as-shit bands to watch. They’re currently prepping to record their debut record with a crack team of BAL favorites – Steve Albini and Bob Weston – and we managed to grab a couple tunes from their set at Lit Lounge. And let us tell you, while Grandfather clearly brought that fire, Lit Lounge brought fire of its own as it was crowded Saudi market hot in the basement sweat pit of theirs. Oh well – definitely made the shellacking from Grandfather all the more appropriate.

Suffice it to say, we fucked with these guys. A power-house drummer who also handles lead vocals, a lockstep bassist and a tearing-at-the-fringes guitarist? We’re in.

We got two tracks for you guys – slow burning blitzkrieg “The Outcome”, along with the epic “You’re Strange” which features some killer crunch at the top. Finally, a bonus track,  "By Myself," live at Knitting Factory a while back.

Definitely check these guys out (grandfathermusic.com) – we’re very eager to hear their upcoming record and are optimistic it will deliver on its Alibini-assisted promise!

Peep the steeeeeeeez.
