‘On the Road with Grinderman’
Grinderman came to Nashville on their latest tour through the states; they performed for us in the strange and awkward concert hall “the Cannery Ballroom,” (the stage sits at the short end of an L-shaped room.) Friend of the band, Larry ‘Ratso’ Sloman traveled with the band and wrote up his notes for a Spin Magazine piece, “On the Road with Grinderman.” The expose shows off the gastronomical and musical journey the band endured during their time stateside. They stopped over in Memphis after their Nashville date(11/19/10) and visited Graceland where Nick Cave Nick scrawled, “A secret that I have that will shock the world.” The article highlights the dry crass sense of humor that the ‘gentlemen’ all possess, and the glory of the rock and roll road.
