Grizwald and The BO Ties

About Me


Ali's description, history and overall opinion on the band is "pissin quality" so let me try and give you a more indepth explanation....
Based in midsomer norton (up your ket), the center of the universe, Grizwald and the BO Ties are a seven piece ska/punk band bringing you original Somerset sounds like what you is never been hearin before...
It all started in camerton with Ali, Pete, Gus and Pete... where they played some random shit (like a blues version of blitzgrieg bop) for a birthday and it was all a bit unorganised really.
Then the band got a bassist in Steve (a short angry fellow who enjoys ducks and hippopotamus for lunch), we then played the renound Paulton Party in the Park. Niall and Owen witnessed this gig... and decided to join.
...And then there were seven. And it was good...the beer flowed and the people danced...but there is more. Parf the mighty trombonerist (haha boner!) had heard tell of these epic ska men and wanted in on the action...and now there are eight. Grizwald and the B.O. Ties are now gigging round the south west in their dinner suits bringing the populous hours of ska sensationalism in an epic proportion.
