The Gracchi (The Grack-eye)

Too soft to be hard; too hard to be soft!

About Me

The Gracchi formed in late 2004 when Ashley, Laura, Alex and Jeff were hanging out in a bar in Downtown Albuquerque and decided to start a kickass band. All the members had similar tastes in old school punk, garage, rock & roll, country, etc., so that’s the music they wanted to play. A few years later in that same Albuquerque bar, a drunken Neal Schon saw The Gracchi and slurrily confirmed that they did, indeed, kick ass. Neal Schon loves The Gracchi -- and you will, too!

"Rock music is meant to be one thing and one thing only: fun. The Gracchi (grack-eye) abide by this rule with an unholy enthusiasm. A Gracchi live show will entertain the pants off the snottiest of critics with big time, loud and proud, shirts-off (except Laura) punk. Every song guarantees speedy delivery of spinning, shaking, bratty rock and roll that will have you shaking your fist in the air and bobbing your head in time with the beat. And, yeah . . . you’ll have fun. Or you don’t have a heart."

Winners and losers

Ok so it was a close fight, the Gracchi was surrounded by screaming metal maniacs.  In fact I don't think there was a non growling, screaming song in sight.  Where was the fog machine? ...
