Биография

A powerhouse pop-psyche band extraordinaire who write insanely gripping melodic nuggets- a gorgeous alchemy of the 60's & 70's brought into the 21st century, with ripping guitars, explosive drumming & golden harmonies. The Grip Weeds were formed in 1988 in New Brunswick NJ by brothers Rick & Kurt Reil. The band is named after the fictional character “Musketeer Gripweed”, played by John Lennon in Richard Lester’s 1967 motion picture How I Won The War. Kristin Pinell Reil is on lead gtr & Dave DeSantis plays bass. Their 1st release was See You Through (1992). House Of Vibes (1994) was recorded in their own studio aka The House Of Vibes.
