Like all classic stories, the life of Gramps began in a shed in Port Fairy. Back then they were just teenage punks belting out tunes inspired by the weirdness and boredom that surrounded them. They recorded and released a self-funded album they probably thought would go nowhere. However, track ‘Glitter Eyed Girl’ was submitted to triple j Unearthed. It won the local comp and the band headed into the studio to re-record the track. In 1999 the band disbanded to pursue other things. Then in 2010, during drummer Jordan Lockett’s 30th birthday bash, plans for a second coming took shape. What was there to do but reunite in Port Fairy for another album? The Loft, Warrnambool – January 25.
