This Day In KLYAM (October 31)
Grandma Sadie’s Birthday – happy birthday Gram! Gram would have been 94 years old today. She passed in 2016. She was simply the best! For those not in the know or wondering – we are talking about my (Gritty) Grandma Sadie of the eponymous Gramspot, named for her living quarters which eventually became the practice space of Gritty/KLYAM adjacent projects in late 2017. Halloween is all year down at Gramspot as the space has many Gram keepsakes and memorials, including Gram face hand fans which were made for her surprise Halloween birthday celebration in 2015. An incarnation of Johnnie and the Foodmasters with Ben and myself performed a few numbers, including “Blue Velvet” and “Blueberry Hill,” which were some of Gram’s favorites.
Gram loved dancing and I was lucky enough to capture her talking about The Raymore Playmore (actually was spelled Raymor–Playmor) ballroom. Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ARSEmJ3u44

NERVOUS GUYS To Perform Icky Boyfriends Cover Set @ Cold Spring Hollow (November 2)
NERVOUS GUYS will be performing at Cold Spring Hollow in Belchertown for Gray St Sounds #63 for Saturday, November 2. KLYAM recording artists and Cummington legends The Glue and Holyoke’s Giant Sadness will also perform on that fine evening.
Nervous Guys is a trio consisting of members of Johnnie & The Foodmasters, G. Gordon Gritty, and >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. The group has performed under various discreet aliases at noise fests around town, but for this show will be going under Nervous Guys, as a 100% tribute to the legendary Bay Area slop-core group Icky Boyfriends. The Icky Boyfriends formed around 1989 and played their first show opening for The Melvins. They cleared the room. Described as abrasive, ungodly, and sometimes unlistenable. Chris from Foodmasters plays the part of vocalist Jonathan Swift, G. Gordon Gritty myself as guitarist Shea Bond, and Brian aka Up Up Up behind the kit as Gonerfest homeboy Anthony Bedard. Let’s teeter to the edge of noise rock.
