The Backorders, fronted by East Bay underground legend Sparky Grinstead and featuring composer/producer Eric Kampman, perform in the San Francisco area when they feel like it, which these days isn't very often. They'll probably be out and about more when Sparky and Eric's new CD, "Winter Comes and Goes" hits the streets early next year. Until then, watch this space. Also check out Sparky's MySpace page - myspace.com/sparkygrinstead (what else?).
