Norm’s presents Grandbaby
Norm’s is back at NAC with another fun and varied line up of musical acts, this time performing their sets in not just the main auditorium, but also the bar (both upstairs and downstairs) and the entrance foyer! Arrive early, so as not to miss any of the fun times!
GRANDBABY
Norfolk souper-group GRANDBABY return to life (and NAC) after a little break while cult leader, I mean band leader Jason relocated himself and his analogue recording studio ‘The Crunch’ to sunny Great Yarmouth. The band are now back in training, formulating a set that will get at least 98% of the audience dancing within 30 seconds, and keep them moving until the band leave the stage, or their dancing feet fall off. Maybe both!
“GRANDBABY’S set takes the audience through a rich range of sounds and noises. Despite its experimentation it never veers into the alien – the sounds are recognizable – blues, world rhythms and new wave all come through at various points. In the second half of the set, Jason takes the band through what can only really be described as exercises. Like a school session, he announces a song which only features drums, before following it on with a track of 4 bass guitars. The creativity shown off is warming and leaves you feeling slightly confused. The psych-rock rhythms merged with musical exercise approaches. It’s not what you’d expect and that’s what makes it so enjoyable to watch.” Callum Gray – Outline
“Heavy on percussion and synths, the music is a bevy of funky delights. “Wrong Cracker”, more on the psychedelic, afrobeat tip has got a deep bass line that can move dance floors, plus the over all feel of the track is no doubt African influenced from the very first note to the last. It builds and builds until the frenzy goes off. RIYL heavy drums from start to finish (oh yeah, and a bit of cowbell too). “Disterminate”, more drums, more synth, and more bass in your face, this one has a different feel from the rest. A bit eighties, but heavier than the others, it’s got a style of its own and that’s OK. “Reverse Night”, sounds a bit post punk to us, winding out with that bass line again, guitars that come from every direction, and a back beat that keeps your head nodding. Don’t count this one out!” – Flea Market Funk
“Jason Baldock’s “Grandbaby” project isn’t as cuddly as it’s cheeky name would suggest. In fact, it’s a take no prisoners, uncompromising approach to mostly-instrumental songcraft. Grandbaby’s debut 7″ bursts with feverish energy, formidable synth lines, crunchy/catchy guitars and an unearthly brilliance for drum break expertise most session musicians would kill for.” – Wax Thematique
