Creepin' Charley and the Boneyard Orchestra

Propping up the carcass of Rock n' Roll

About Me

We've got bleeding heads, broken hearts, aliens, barflies, peepshows, Downtown Debbies, cash cows, devils, pistols, junkies, hookers, pimps and pushers. It ain't easy out here on the back roads, but that's where the animals come alive. That's where you find the monuments that work their magic. It's in the beat of the traps, the rope of the bass, the coils of the guitar, and the words that roll right off the tongue. Creepin' Charley comes from that place...
"Hot off the recent release of their video for “Dirty Money,” Creepin’ Charley is in the midst of a creative whirlwind. Each gig that passes brings more new songs that find the band evolving into a top notch high-octane rock and roll outfit that this town has way too few of. Chad Pollock and Andy Fark are probably one of the tightest rhythm sections in the Ohio Valley, while the magic of herky-jerky frontman Kelley and his foil on the guitar, Emerald Eric Grimmitt, give this band a presence that few others can match."
~ Jeff Napier, Nuvo Newsweekly.
Once one of Indy's most active bands, Creepin' Charley and the Boneyard Orchestra, has been reclusive of late. During the group's downtime the musicians morphed their sound to a hard-rock stomp that resembles Led Zeppelin at their most revved up, delivering songs of sin and woe.
~ "Indy Top 10 Live" (May 2, 2007)
"Since the band made their debut at the 2004 Midwest Music Summit, Creepin' Charley has evolved into one of the tightest, most entertaining, and best rock & roll bands in the city."
~ Steve Hayes, IndianapolisMusic.net.
"Musically, Creepin' Charley is all about Kelley's sandpaper-rough vocals and the punchy, hard-nosed rhythm section of Pollock and Fark...gives the group a garage-punk sound that puts it miles beyond the early Tom Waits' musical experiments."
~ Steve Hammer, Nuvo Newsweekly.
"This is raw, 'gut-bucket' rock."
~ Sharon Ramsey, Shae's Place Zine.

Sounds Like: An after midnight concoction of influences ranging from Cream to Tom Waits, merging together into a primal mixture of rock-n-roll at its rawest.
