Imagine Mr Scruff drinking cups of tea with The Chemical Brothers whilst babysitting DJ Yoda and you might start to come close to the sound that the Grinnys create. Based on the 'scissors and string' mind of 'Mo' Morton, these guys fuse surreal references with old school record-crate creativity and come out of it with an infectious brand of subterranean pop that makes you feel good deep down inside.

Originating from York, Grinny Grandad have recently returned from a recording session in London after successfully winning a competition in association with mainstream label Finger Lickin’ Records. With a publishing deal under their belt and a remix by one of the UK's leading producers due for release over the coming months, Grinny Grandad make their debut in Scarborough this Saturday (November 3rd) at Vivaz nightclub.

If you like your pop music varied, hard-hitting and with a pinch of humour (think Monty Python meets Homer Simpson) then be sure not to miss this event. Indoor fireworks included!

BBC Review – Rachel Wade, 15-08-2007

"Grinny Grandad are maybe a band who signal the future for music, bringing together a range of sounds, inspirations and contributors to create their unique style of music - a mix of trip-hop, soul, funk, dance, and elements of countless more genres. Tonight was no exception, with band members taking on multiple roles as the set progressed, with a guest musician for the final song of the night, the anthemic Boo Cha - a track that bizarrely blends Chemical Brothers and Homer Simpson perfectly. This musical collective group have some fantastically creative recordings, but tonight’s performance also demonstrated they have the enthusiasm, energy and personality in their live performance to show they can go far.." – Rachel Wade, BBC
