Band of the Week: Gravys Drop!!!!


WOOOOOO! Band of the Month, errr Band of the Week a title only reserved for the greatest Rock ‘n’ Rollers, the truest gangstas to quote one, Frank Hurricane, and this week we have Gravys Drop!!! Gravys Drop is fronted by Billy Grave, a cool, cool dude. In fact, while we’re here we might as well do some reminiscing. Let’s take a quick trip back to October 2, 2009, a day that will live in KLYAM infamy. Nobunny nearly burned down Harpers Ferry haha! JK!! More importantly, Billy G himself played drums in Nobunny during this tour and KLYAM chatted with the dude for a little while before the show- at the time we were pretty new to well everything. We knew and loved Tard, but had never heard of Nobunny or Hunx or most of the bands we enjoy and endorse now. It’s funny, I remember distinctly it was Billy that introduced us to Thee Oh Sees. I doubt he remembers this, but for what’s it worth, thanks, great show, good times! Now back to present. Gravys Drop. Killer band with killer songs. Nice, old school rock ‘n’ roll just the way we know you like it. There’s some country, bubblegum, and certainly gah ridge rock. It’s fun! Listen to For The Love of Gravy, it dropped on Burger Records earlier this year. Check it out!
