Биография

It’s 1995. A band from Lismore named Grinspoon (named after Associate Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, Dr Lester Grinspoon who supported the medicinal use of marijuana) submitted the track, Sickfest to triple j’s Unearthed national band comp in its inaugural year. To everyone’s amazement, they won - and for the next two months, the song was the station’s number one request. Fast forward to September 1997 Grinspoon released their debut album, Guide To Better Living. Going on to boast double-platinum accreditation on the back of five singles; Pedestrian, DCx3, Repeat Just Ace and Don't Go Away. Guide To Better Living spent 36 weeks in the ARIA Top 50 and still stands as an iconic coming of age album alongside the likes of Cold Chisel's East. Since then, it’s been a rolling success and yeah, occasionally, excess story for the boys from Lismore, with certified sales of well over half a million, seven albums all very familiar with the Top Ten, ARIA Nominations/Awards, 7 appearances at Big Day Out as well as slots at Homebake, Falls Festival, Splendour in the Grass, an NRL Grand Final and a Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony in Melbourne. 2017 saw the band emerge again to complete a SOLD OUT national tour alongside the release of a 20th Anniversary deluxe edition of the album that kick-started their long-standing music career. Grinspoon is Phil Jamieson on vocals, Pat Davern on guitar, Joe Hansen on bass and Kristian Hopes on drums.
