Yee Ha! Southern swamp blues-rock mayhem with paint-peeling slide guitar like you've
never heard: Grady from Austin, TX is a razor-sharp power trio fronted by guitar master
Gordie Johnson who counts gold/platinum records on his wall from his stint with Big
Sugar. With picks on all his fingers, he rips the strings, loud as hell, through a Garnet pre
amp with a whole lotta power.
Grady has a fiercer, more direct sound than his previous music--a perfect fit for
Alternative Tentacles.
Gordie decided to unplug from the commercial music industry, heading south with
longtime sidekick Big Ben Richardson and made Austin Texas his new base.
Forming Grady in 2004 they quickly became an Austin staple, winning best new act at
the Austin Chronicle awards.
Gordie also made Willie Nelson's Pedernales Studios his home base for his producing
work with production credits that include Govt Mule, Reel Big Fish, Black Crowes
and Nashville Pussy among many others.
Grady has shared the stage with the likes of Rev. Horton Heat and Alejandro Escovedo.
Grady is the only band we know who fit well with both the Reverend and High on
Fire or Mastodon. Y.U. So Shady is a re-release of their self-released debut, a demo
recording that became an accidental hit in Austin as fans began calling radio stations and
record stores requesting songs and asking for the disc. It's been remixed by Gordie and
re-sequenced by Jello Biafra.
Grady is:
Gordie "Grady" Johnson guitars and lead vocals
"Big" Ben Richardson bass and vocals
Nina "Drumbellina" Singh drums and more vocals

"I been listenin' to Grady every day."--Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top)

Brown. Now I've decided they're the missing link between early Johnny
Winter and Ministry."--Jello Biafra
