East Bay Friday: The Gr'ups

Ex-Blatz (Jesse Luscious and Anna Joy) and Operation Ivy (Matt Freeman) formed the Gr'ups in '91/'92 and released a couple of 7"s with the idea of "modernizing" old fairy tales as a rockabilly/punk combo-punch in the vein of X with a dirtier, more raw, and less sharp needle. These two songs are from their first 7".

Gr'ups - "Almond Tree" and "Red Riding Hood"

Previously: Blatz (and again), OPIV
Of interest: Kerplunk - The rise and fall of the Lookout Records empire. [East Bay Express] Thanks, Max
