Still an underrated band....

Grifter may only be at number 774 but this is a list of the best heavy rock (not metal) albums of all time from Fast And Bulbous!!! Pretty chuffed to be on there with Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin, the Stooges, Van Halen...and Budgie!!!

We're sorry to announce that the show at the Old Bell in Derby on the Orange Goblin tour on Monday April 9th has now been cancelled. This is in no part due to Orange Goblin or the promoter, Onslaught Promotions, but down to the venue themselves.

We are, however, extremely chuffed to announce that the tour will now roll into Newcastle-Upon-Tyne on this date at Legends. This is great news for Grifter who have been dying to play Newcastle for ages and catch up with some old friends.

Here's an interview I did on an American station last week, Ripple Radio. I'm on from about 30 minutes for 45 minutes or so.

We're very surprised to find out we're headlining the Black Heart stage at Desertfest on Saturday April 7th. The organisers have timed it nicely that Orange Goblin finish in the Underworld just down the road as we go on then we finish just in time for Slabdragger to take the stage at the Purple Turtle...so no reason not to see everything.

See you there folks!!!

Has this worked, I can't tell at work!!!

nope, says its not working

Fuck...I'll have to do it at home.

Way to go.

I'm losing track of reviews a bit now but here's a good one

Here's a killer line-up for you!!!

Saturday July 21st at The scream Lounge in Croydon

Grifter
Profane And the Sacred
Trippy Wicked
Steak
Mother Corona

The Trippy Wicked and Mother Corona albums rock hard and from what I've read of the Steak EP so does that. From what I've heard of local boys Profane And The Scared they have a touch of Alabama Thunderpussy about them so should be a killer night. Plus there's Grifter...Britain's most incredible and sexiest band

Doors 7pm, £4 entry, 16+

Grifter will be hitting Bournemouth's number one rock club, The Anvil on Friday August 3rd to shake up the geriatrics of the town.

The night is being promoted by the guys at Stargun Music who are behind the recently released "Sonic Titans" compilation featuring the likes of XII Boar, Trippy Wicked, Stubb, Steak, Slabdragger, Dopefight...etc.

Support, time and prices are all TBC
