| About Loki the Grump |
LOKI THE GRUMP are "known for their punchy hooks, driving pulse and a strong female vocalist who brings it all together. Kind of like the lovechild of Black Flag and Poly Styrene,” says Church of Girl. Village voice describes them as "theatrical, sardonic punk rock", while Distant Warning UK exclaims, “Such character. It's like a female Jello Biafra. Amazing!”
With a mission of “puttin’ the FUN back in GRUMP” it’s no wonder LTG has been spreading the grumpiness worldwide to a rabid and ever-growing fanbase, who proudly declare themselves GRUMPIES. Frontwoman Michele "Vamp" Jaffe – the 2004 recipient of the Abe Olman Scholarship Award through the Songwriters Hall of Fame for "Excellence in Songwriting" - has evolved from playing drums in punk/goth bands into a loud, raucous and in-your-face rock goddess! She is sponsored by Daisy Rock guitars! Vamp is joined in LTG by guitarist Dimitri Vishnepolsky – a Moscow-born violin & trumpet-playing guitar god; monster bassist Phil Pham, recognized for his various stints in NYC rock and punk bands; and a Bevy of Bodacious Beatpeople. The results from this diverse combo are off-the-charts performances and hook-laden songs that haunt you for days, and are nothing short of pure Grumpy FUN!
With their EP, “The Brink” receiving airplay on several local and international radio stations (including Q104.3's "Out of the Box", Ithaca's "Last Exit for the Lost", France's "Babes in Boyland" and Internet stations "Church of Girl", "Radio Crystal Blue" & “Suburban Hell), and their already-buzzin’ and consistently increasing online presence, it’s only a matter of time before the universe is consumed by grumpiness - in only the best way possible!
Loki the Grump are based in New York City and can be found performing at many of the city’s top rock clubs including CBGB’s, Knitting Factory, Snitch, Ace of Clubs, Rare and more. They have expanded their touring area along the East Coast and were part of Revolutionary Records Girls Rock & Girls Rule 2007 Fall Tour in several cities. Summer of 2007 saw LTG back in the studio for a limited edition album, the CUNY Sessions, which proceeds will go toward the recording of the next full length studio album!

So whatcha waitin’ for? It’s time to GET GRUMPY!!!
