Grifters Re-onion????

4/26/2010

0 Comments

 
Well, if I had a dollar for every time someone axed when the original Grifters were going to recreate those blissful early '90s glory days of rock 'n roll, I'd have 35 or 40 bucks right now.  As most of you fans know, the band has decamped into two distinct sections:  the rhythm, & the guitarists.  For reasons I do not fully comprehend & all Grifters' fans gnash their teeth at, all reonion requests have been rejected.

However, hardcore Grifters fans can dance nakedly around a mulberry bush to the news that one faction will be tributing the Grifters with a set at Steve McGhee's fundraiser the weekend of July 29-31!  It's just like the good ole days:  Grifters save the day for the Antenna Club rent fund!
