If you want to play Griddle on a podcast, you can. You've slept on three albums to this point: the zero-budget Beak (2002), and then the big-budget Turning Violet (2004), and then back to zero-budget for the hideously underrated collaboration with painter Stephen Tompkins, Klimty Favela (2006).
While writing continues on Album Number Four, the boys in the band have been playing in New York City a lot as of late, and are continuing with the California love.
The four personalities of Griddle are still in full force: Kimo, the mysterious one; Fortier, the flirtatious one; McGrew, the energetic one; Seal, the midwestern one. They hope to stroll the cobblestoned streets of your fair city, and sleep on your couches. Griddle loves you.
