Often described as the evil Partridge Family of Vienna’s 6th district (mostly by themselves, but still), Balu & die Surfgrammeln fuse classic instrumental surf vibes with a sinister, garage-punk edge. Shimmering, reverb-drenched guitar melodies collide with thunderous drums and the barrage from a Bass VI and a fretless bass, propelling listeners into a high-velocity ride through the irradiated wastelands of the atomic age.

 

Balu (Drums), Kate Gramml (Bass), The Grammeloni (Bass VI), Wolfi Gramml (Guitar), BOSS “The Voice” RC-5 Gramml (doomsday sermons) and support musicians Wa-Lee Gramml (Vocals), Dave O. Gramml (Organ) and Pete Gramml (Sax)
