You can also purchase the CD from these fine establishments: Muse Cafe 817 N. Milwaukee, Chicago.
Grilly Biggs is/was a New Orleans, now mostly in Chicago-based, electronically driven improvisational ensemble. We will absolutely not be stopped by any 'bitch-ass' hurricane!
This group fuses Avante-Garde, Drum'n'Bass and electronic sounds into an acoustic setting that features two drummers. The group is comprised of vibraphones, bass, and drums. Together the members are completely intertwined into the other, allowing for total communication through art without words. At times the music is heavy with deep, dirty grooves, and at other times, a wash of cymbals, soundscaping distortion and bowed vibraphone fills the aural sensing. Grilly Biggs is live double drumming groove experiments and likable noise.

Reviews By Glenn Astarita
High Mayhem is a non-profit organization that sponsors a Santa Fe, NM., based music and multimedia festival, often highlighting emerging talent or well-known artistes. This newly issued effort by a quartet comprised of a vibist, two drummers, a bassist and the respective musicians’ employment of electronics, cast more than just a few engaging propositions.
These young musicians straddle the nouveau slant of jazz-rock avant-garde, yet the dual drumming attack is surprisingly fluid and not lumbering as some might anticipate. Otherwise, vibist Matthew McClimon often rides atop Matthew Golombisky’s pumping bass lines where the band pursues in-the-pocket grooves while instituting variable shifts in strategy. And there are some playfully wacky opuses, awash with spooky EFX parts and other digressions. Nonetheless, the audience in attendance – at the 2005 High Mayhem festival – seemed up for the challenge via the enthusiastic responses to the band’s artistry. Despite the so-so, live recording audio sound, these folks are certainly at the top of their game here. – Glenn Astarita
