ROCKMUSIC FOR DECISIVE PEOPLE OR WHY SHOULDN’T WE BUY A CARAVAN?

ONE LATE EVENING, DYLE WAS ON ROUTE WITH HIS OLD BANGER AND RECALLED LYRICS WITHOUT MELODIES, AND MELODIES WITHOUT LYRICS, KNOWING THAT ONLY A BAND COULD SOLVE THAT PROBLEM.

RECOGNIZING THE MAIN PROBLEM OF OUR GENERATION, THAT MOST PEOPLE WASTE THEIR PRECIOUS TIME IN FRONT OF COMPUTERS, HE STOPPED IN THE PROXIMITY OF A VAST OFFICE COMPLEX AND THREW STONES AT THE WINDOWS, OF WHICH HE COULD SEE SOME LIGHT SHINING OUT. ONLY ONE SMALL STONE HIT THE TARGET AND OUT OF ONLY ONE WINDOW DID SOMEONE LOOK OUT. KNOWING THAT THIS WOULD BE THE BEGINNING OF A LONG STORY, SKY LEFT THE COMPUTER RUNNING, DESERTED THE BUILDING & JUMPED INTO THE RATTLING CAR.

AFTER A LONG DRIVE AND PICKING UP TWO HITCHHIKERS NAMED FIBE & HESSTY (WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT THEY POSSIBLY ALREADY KNEW EACHOTHER?) THE TIME WAS RIPE FOR THE NEXT TANK FULL. TICKED OFF BY THE BOREDOM, SILI, THE PETROL STATION ATTENDANT, DECIDED TO JOIN THE FELLOWSHIP.

AFTER THEIR FIRST ALBUM „PHRASES FROM THE SECOND FLOOR“, THE BAND PERAMBULATED THE CONTINENT FOR HALF A YEAR IN THEIR „SELF-TINKERED“ CARAVAN AND PLAYED AS MANY SHOWS AS THEY COULD GET IN ENGLAND, GERMANY, DENMARK, NETHERLANDS, BELGIUM AND SWITZERLAND. BACK FROM THE TOUR THIS NEXT ADVENTURE STARTED. THE MATURED SONGS NEEDED A PERMANENT HOME, AND SO GROOMBRIDGE DECIDED TO RECORD A NEW ALBUM FOR THEM. THE QUESTION „WHERE?“ HAD AN EASY ANSWER: PLANET ROC, BERLIN!

THE RESULTING RECORD „CUSTOMERS FROM HELL“ SHOWS A BAND THAT KNOWS HOW TO ROCK AND PURSUE SPONTANEOUS IDEAS WITHOUT LOSING FOCUS ON THE SONG. IT’S A SENCERE CREATION WITH A LOT OF AUTONOMY.

FOR ALL THE MISSING DETAILS OF THE ABOVE STORY, GO AND VISIT GROOMBRIDGE IN CONCERT AND ASK THE GUYS… THAT IS, IF THERE REMAIN ANY QUESTIONS AFTER YOU’VE HEARD THEM PLAY.

GROOMBRIDGE IS: DYLE, SKY, FIBE, HESSTY, SILI
