Chris &The Grind on Punkradiocast

You think that you are cunning but I see though you...

About Me

I've always been into music... played guitar and sang in a few bands, managed a few (read: hung out and partied with while doing tasks related to managing). Now do the TV production thing and stay sane by working on The Grind. I'm always down for driving a few hours to catch a good show.
If you're looking for a show in between Saskatoon and Edmonton, drop me a line and I'll work on hooking you up.
For current Live Shows booked in Lloydminster, see Calendar below

If you've watched Much Music (or even MuchMore Music) you've probably caught a video by one of these guys.
