About Me

GRISSOM ROXXX!

BACKGROUND:
This is the official website of GRISSOM!
Formed in April 2007 within the nether regions of Oakland, California, GRISSOM is a musical fusion of GREENHOUSE EFFECT and BRNR members Steve W Lee (vocals/bass/keys), Greg Randolph (guitar) and Priest (drums).
Co-mingling blazing metal/rock/jazz riffs with acoustic guitar, vocal pop sensibilities, keyboards, and Bonham-esque thundering drums, GRISSOM culls influences from a wide variety of artists and musical styles...creating vast aural pleasures for girls and boys and animals of all types, ages, shapes, and sizes!
Envision a musical 3-ring big-top circus, complete with whip-wielding contortionists, burlesque strippers, spinning plates, and a fire-breathing elephant teetering precariously on a silk tightrope...highly unpredictable, ever-changing, and ready to slay!
