Brothers Grim & The Blue Murders Roll It In EP and tour
As promised, just months after Brothers Grim And The Blue Murders whipped the East Coast into a frenzy on their Been A While single tour, the boys are back with the long-awaited EP, Roll It In, for a country-crossing run of dates. In their trademark explosive manner, they did not muck around when it came time to record their latest release. The main aim, says devilish frontman James Grim, “was to lock ourselves away from the world for three days and punch out all of our inner destructive psyches into one concise raw musical expression.” Three mad days, 30 minutes of rollercoaster blues rock. Boom. Done.
The three-day rock‘n’roll bender seeped onto tape as a diary drawing on 3am confessionals of friendship, loyalty, loss, hope, loneliness and betrayal - but not necessarily in that order - and a peculiar and slightly frightening study on what James Grim would be like as a father in the reasonably gruesome Baby Girl.
Once the main guts of the EP was committed to the form, layered embellishments came from all angles - myriad tools of percussion, xylophones, the explosive talents of the irrepressible Kira Puru on backing vocals and the deranged honkey tonk piano of Nick Hurle - before the whole thing was mixed with the original-chrome-stock-car flair of Lindsay Gravina [Living End, Rowland S Howard].
Take it or leave it - Roll It In is Brothers Grim And The Blue Murders.
After three years of constant touring - following a sold out launch for their debut LP A Year To Forget [2011] at the legendary Corner Hotel - and sell out shows up and down the east coast, Brothers Grim recently made a Rock It Festival appearance alongside The Black Keys. Along with that run, not to mention the debaucherous tour for single ‘Been A While’, they’ve warmed up at West Coast Blues & Roots, sharing stages with legends Robert Plant, Iggy Pop and Ben Harper, and will kick off the Roll It In tour in style at The Hi Fi Bar And Ballroom in Melbourne.
