Two things that will surely shock you:
1. I like silly music.
2.Stark Raving Brad, the angry elf model for our “Fuck the Holidays” shoot (in our Holiday Guide) makes silly music.

Yup, it’s true. The girl who writes about The Nutley Brass and Richard Cheese likes the kind of music that a guy with no hair except one neon yellow tendril plays. Which is to say, Stark Raving Brad and I have great fucking taste. And so, apparently, does the Eagle, who’s booked his band the Winsome Griffles to play this Thursday, the 13th.
I can think of few things more appropriate to get me geared up for this weekend’s Santarchy (not that they’re related at all) than hearing live renditions of the bluegrass/country/folk-with-a-sense-of-humor songs like “Your New Stupid Boyfriend” and everyone’s favorite children’s song (So bring the kiddies to the bar! OK, maybe not) “Chicken.”
And hey, maybe Brad will even wear his Grinch slippers.
With Victor Krummenacher and Mighty Slim Pickins

Buy the CD, read interviews with Jack Griffle (banjo, bass, vox), Larry-bob Griffle (piano, vox), and Brad (drums), and see the quote where the London Observer Music Monthly called the band “swish Americana” at CD Baby.
Brad (looking so normal!?!), Jack, and Larry-bob
