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.

Liv Marie Esperanza	May 30 2009 8:11 AM Have a great weekend.
dj	May 29 2009 7:57 PM I heard a rumor you were headed back to Dallas next month - if it's true I will see you there! If not, I know a number of venues up in Oklahoma that would love to have you guys...if I can't go to Grady maybe Grady can come to me. Also, it would be cool if you would divulge any MOPAR secret stashes in the south that you are aware of...I have a '68 New Yorker (2 dr. 440 c.i.) with me that my dad got from a farmer in Ponoka, AB in 1969 and I took from him in 1995. It needs some TLC and it's a project that I have been procrastinating on for far too long. Keep the rubber side down, right!?
Bloodshot Blues Band	May 23 2009 10:34 PM Thanks for the add! Saw your show in Kingston. AWSOME!
BLUEFACE	May 23 2009 7:25 PM rock the f%#k out 've it...YEAH!
David Gogo	May 22 2009 9:20 PM Q : Why does Snoop Dogg carry an umbrella ? A : For drizzle !!

Rox Fields	May 21 2009 5:09 PM Happy Birthday Gordie, thumbs up 2 Gemini's. I love GRADY's new songs, this is going 2 be a great great new CD ;-D
