About GRADY

Grady Johnson - Guitar & Singing
Big Ben Richardson - Bass & Singing
Nina Singh- Drums & Singing

Together they kneel at the alter of The One Chord Stomp
And everything sounds good and loud
-- Delta Metal.

Gordie Johnson recently stated in an interview with Guitarist UK, “We’re trying to find the common ground between punk, metal and gospel. I like to think we sound like Motorhead just got the job of backing up John Lee Hooker.”

As reviewed in L.A. magazine Access: “GRADY has enough low end buzz and slide guitar to shake down the walls of the Alamo.”

Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys lead singer/ Alternative Tentacles owner) has enthused “You guys are the missing link between Junior Brown and Black Flag.”

Observer Music Monthly UK writes: “One of the bands that perhaps best define the city (Austin) today is GRADY …Cowboy Metal anyone?”

This trio of tall Texans will captivate you with a sound somewhere between early ZZ Top and an alien abduction.

Equal parts Southern Gospel and Satanic Ritual.

Gordie “Grady” Johnson on lead vocals and guitar, “Big Ben” Richardson on bass, and Nina Singh beating the drums loud and proud, kneel at the altar of the one-chord stomp and make every show a unique offering.

The new cd “A Cup of Cold Poison” was recorded live off the floor at Willie Nelson’s famed Pedernales recording studio and even features a spoken word introduction by the Red Headed Stranger himself.

Watch for GRADY, who will be
blowing the doors off of venues
with their 2008 tour!

Of course, it's not a real Lamborghini, just a computer model Lamborghini put their stamp on...and I'm not really in the middle of nowhere, just 30 minutes north of the city...but damn it's eerily quiet here - SCARY AS ALL HELL! [Was that a noise? Swear I heard a noise coming from outside!!!] Cannot wait for y'all to bring the noise on Sunday.... :-)
