.. GRAVEDIGGERS BIO speedpunkrockandrolltrashstompin Chriz Garrit: zang, Gitaar. Wouter Zimmerman: contrabas Dr. Martin de Ruiter : Drums, Screams. Discography : 1996 : Greatest Hits Vol.2" ( 7 Inch Vinyl) 1998 : She Devil Rock (12 Inch Vinyl) 1999 : Fuck all (10 Inch Vinyl) De Gravediggers zijn ontstaan uit een goed uit de hand gelopen grap. Dit was ergens in 1994, in Groningen, op de Grote Markt op het dak van het tegenwoordige Springs gebouw. De band begon met het spelen van Jaren-vijftig Rockabilly, wat meteen enorm aansloeg op rock-n-roll dansschoolavonden en op bruiloften en partijen; de band had hier echter al snel schoon genoeg van. Besloten werd om flink wat Nitro bij de muziek te voegen; daartoe werden de krachtigste versterkers die er te krijgen zijn aangeschaft, en de tempos van de nummers minstens verdubbeld Het is een regelrechte sensatie deze band te zien spelen. De vlammen vliegen, vaak letterlijk, van het podium af. Dit wordt door het meestal uitzinnige publiek zeer goed ontvangen! De sound van de band laat zich nog het beste omschrijven als Reverend Horton Heat op de speed. ACDC, Cramps, Johnny Burnett met zijn eigenzinnige sound zijn andere belangrijke inspiratiebronnen. Dit alles dan weer vermengd met de nodige testosteron De Gravediggers! De naam duikt veelvuldig op in alle landelijke media; zij speelden dan ook reeds op tal van gerenommeerde festivals, zoals Metropolis, Bevrijdingspop en andere 5 mei festivals; daarnaast gingen bijna alle zalen van Nederland al plat. Getoerd werd met grootheden als: Demented are Go, Zeke, en niet te vergeten het legendarische Turbonegro. Intussen zijn de afzonderlijke bandleden ook te zien (geweest) in verschillende andere bands: Jammah Tammah, The Drugs, ODBABE, Groningsch Salon Orkest, Wild Berries, AA and the dokters, T99, en verscheidende sessies door het gehele land. Maar vooral als Gravediggers zijn ze harder, sneller en strakker dan ooit tevoren. GRAVE DIGGERS 1954, thats the year when, according to the people who think they know it, the first rockabilly-single was released. Thats allright mama/ Blue moon of Kentucky, the debut of Elvis Presley is a combination of raw blues and country & western. The record sighs, moans, is raw, and rocks like hell! The slapping bass makes its playfull entrance, since there were no drums in the beginning and this little loss had to be compensated by pulling the bassstrings rhythmically. Rockabilly was born and it struck like lightning on a clear blue day! After a slight pause, in the 70s there was a true rocknroll-revival. With Charlie Feathers and Johnny Burnette in the back of everybodys head there was a comeback on the way. The Stray Cats, and later Batmobile, seamed to straighten the path for traditional rocknroll and the wilder and hectic psychobilly. The Grave Diggers from punkrock-city no. 1 Groningen mix both ingredients up and suck everything out thats in it. Uncontrolled, savage, earthly noise, stomping and pushing, working its way to a filthy climax. As a sublime form of expression they decided to infect oldfashioned rockabilly with their sick enthusiasm, resulting in a dirty orgy where the speedbilly moistens the foundations of rocknroll like sweat and crushes it thoroughly. Bassplayer Wouter Zimmerman plays his instrument like hes smacking his wife and tenderly licking her wounds afterwards. Chriz Garrit, singer and guitarist, who has Catalan blood flowing through his veigns, pumps up the aggressive tones with a wild style until lux Interior lies moanin at his feet. In the mean while Martin de Ruiter trashes his drumkit with a raging fury. Musical influences are almost none, since the boys dont like other bands, apart from AC/DC and Johnny Burnette. They just play what comes to them through long meditation and confrontations with the almighty Jah. And during such a scandalous gig, nobody can stop pogoing, dancing, stage-diving, beating each other up, or fucking. Experience the trash power of the Grave Diggers!
